So, it's been a while...

At the request of many (ok, mostly just Bryan, many times), I have decided to update this blog. It may take a while to get completely up-to-date, as we have actually been doing many things since I last posted, but here goes my attempt...

Oh, and also at the request of Bryan (the self-proclaimed "brains of the operation") we have moved to scheffersblog.blogspot.com . Hopefully this will eliminate the "why is there no 'g' in 'doin' conversation...

So come find us at scheffersblog.blogspot.com !!!!

Cubs Win!!!!

On Saturday the whole Mulder family was in town and they took us with them to the Cubs vs Mets game! It was a great time. Thanks so much Mulders!

Here's Wrigley Field, known to some as Cubs Stadium...hehehe...

This is Alfonso Soriano. If you look closely you can actually see the ball mere moments after being hit. He grounded out to the pitcher.

This is Ricky Henderson, 1st base coach for the Mets. I took his picture because Bryan said he is supposedly some kind of pretty good player... I personally didn't see him do much.

*** Many thanks to Bryan for adding the actual baseball info to this post.

Cubs Win- Part II

And now, for a less baseballish picture, here is a picture of the cotton candy man that kept getting in the way of our view.

Lyndsay, Mike, Bryan and I enjoying our seats. Look closely and you can see the girls in the row behind us trying so very hard to duck out of our picture. Haha.

Oh for the love of spellcheck...

Here is the new dry cleaners that moved in down the street a few months ago. I laugh every time I go by it.

Hilarious.

Stay tuned for more pictures from the weekend... Cubs Win!

5K

On Saturday Bryan and Aaron decided to run the Betty Scheck Shuffle 5K through the streets of North Riverside. They actually ran 4 miles on their own before this, but were still determined not to "get beat by any girl!" Unfortunately for them, most of the Betty Scheck Shufflers were on the track team at the local highschool, so they did indeed get beat by at least 1 girl. But they had a good time, and the $25 we paid for him to run on the same streets he runs on every day for free went straight to the American Cancer Society, so I suppose it's all ok.

Cinder got to run too, and boy did she look tired by the end!

2 years

Today is our 2nd anniversary- yay! Yesterday we had a Day O' Fun downtown to celebrate, as we knew we would both be working today. We spent all day walking around, looking at boats, doing some very minimal shopping, and of course, eating. PF Chang's = yum! It was so much fun to just spend time together with no real agenda or place to be at any certain time. Plus the weather was gorgeous, making it a great day to be downtown :)

Here's Bryan's pensive look. Clearly thinking deep thoughts about how wonderful the past 2 years have been. Or how wonderful Potbelly's was a few minutes earlier.... One of those for sure.

Here we are in Crate & Barrel, picking out our favorite couch for *someday*...

Another 15 mile journey!

We took another 15 mile run/rollerblade today through the forest preserve. 10 minutes faster than last time! And yet, my ankles are just as sore... Hmm...

Here comes Bryan around the bend...

A little bit closer now...

Pretty trees...

Bryan requested this picture be taken to show what his view was the whole time...
