It's that time of year-- Sweet corn time!! Yum.
I've only had it once so far, but this coming weekend we're planning "Beers and Ears." Basically friends and family come help us freeze some corn and take what they want home with them. Oh yeah, and we have beers...
Imagine that, the Knollies are having a party!! :)

Will It Do?
I thought I posted the romantic story of our engagement, but looking back to find the link, apparently I have not.
Just a warning, you guys might need to break out the tissues for this one.
We went back to Ma and Pa's for Christmas and then came back to the SHITMON. DJ opened his presents and we went about our normal lives. My goal over my "Christmas Break" from work was to clean the house. The day after Christmas, I was working on cleaning the office. DJ said he was going to go fuel up the skid-steer so it was ready to go for the next snow. Alright, see ya later.
He calls a bit later and told me that since he's already half way there, he's just going to go pick up my ring.
Uhh... okay??
He comes back and comes inside and goes back out. I keep cleaning. After a bit I go out to the kitchen and see he had set the bag on the counter. Hmm...
I go back to cleaning. He comes in and out a few more times. I eventually go back to the kitchen and was sitting at the bar.
He comes back in and asks if I had looked at it. Uhh... no, I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. He asked if I wanted to and I just kinda looked at him and was like well yeah?! He grabs the bag and pulls out the box and hands it to me. "Will it do?" Between giggles I was able to muster out a yeah. I put it on and then he said he had to go push snow and left.
There was no "Will you marry me?" or anything of the sort. I just took a picture of it and sent it to the family and let them assume what they wanted!!

Week Recap
I really need to blog from home one of these days so I can get pictures added to some posts.
This week has been full of rain and trips to the local muffler shop for us.
I woke up one morning to rain pounding the windows. I looked at the radar and it was pretty much pure red. I zoomed out and decided it was sticking around awhile, so I put a pillow over my head. LR text me just then saying she and the cat were scared. We chatted a bit and then I went back to sleep until my alarm went off. I got up and looked out the window and discovered one of our trees in our windbreak had broken. I was hesitant to go look at the porch. Since I didn't think the storm was going to hit us I hadn't moved anything out of the wind. Surprisingly, nothing had moved.
Three of our five vehicles had to be taken to the muffler shop for various reasons. Flat tire, new muffler, something was plugged, a/c, who really knows what else.
Wednesdaywe I decided to road trip a couple hours for stall fronts for the barn. DJ was almost impressed!! Either he thought they were a pretty good deal or he doesn't trust me pulling a trailer, cuz he went with me. We stopped at a little bar on the way home and had their pizza. Last time we stopped there, RAGBRAI was going through town so the place was a mad house. This time it was almost as crazy! We stuffed ourselves and headed home.
We've gotten over two inches of rain (that's only from when I actually remember to look...) this week and my flowers are loving it. They are not so much loving the wind that tends to come with the rain.
Looks like the weekend is full of rain too, so maybe I'll get something accomplished inside??
Have a great weekend!

Marley in the Making
Have you ever read the book, or even seen the movie, Marley and Me? It's a true story based on the author's dog. He's kind of a hellion.
I think he's back. This time his name is MC.
He's managed to break two kennel bottoms. He's ate a couple remotes-- good thing we didn't watch that TV much anyway! He's ripped up a few blankets. And working on a mattress. He's a complete bully to other dogs; he often gets in trouble for dragging his older brother around by the neck/collar. He opens the door, but doesn't close it (this may have come from watching DJ do the same thing). I haven't been able to find my flip flop for a long, long time. He barks at children. He doesn't like people. I think his favorite activity is trying to knock me over. He thinks the basement is the perfect place to do his doo-doo-dees.
And then he transforms into the biggest cuddle bug. With a face that can melt even the coldest of hearts.
Aww we love the big ol lug.
At the end of the movie they have to put Marley down and bury him. I'm already dreading that day! Until then, I guess I'll just keep cleaning up his messes.
