Pittsburgh Weather

Tick

The weather was amazing in Pittsburgh this past Sunday. It was in the 70s and only a little cloudy. A real miracle ;).

So what did Jimmy and I decide to do after church to enjoy the beautiful weather? We went for a trail walk in a local park!

First, I wanted to be my typical self and take a picture of Jimmy and me. My camera is goofy (jk, it’s me that is horrible at operating technology!).

In one of its programming modes, the button I press to take a picture gets really “touchy.” So touchy, that sometimes before I even touch the button, it takes a picture. I always forget about that and then end up laughing at the pictures I accidentally take.

Like this one:Alright, I guess Jimmy was ready and looking cute. I was just looking all surprised and whatnot.

So we tried again (and again..):Much better.

Anyways..

Off we went on our little walk, just enjoying the scenery and talking about surgeries. What, you and your loved ones don’t talk about surgeries while on walks?! Okay, I will admit that it’s just me. Jimmy thinks it’s totally gross when I ask him to join me in watching You Tube videos of people having knee surgery or having fluid taken out of their lungs. I think it’s just the coolest thing ever.

We walked for about two miles, stopped at a local pet store to buy catnip for Lily (my sister’s cat) and then when home to chow on pork roast for dinner.

Jimmy and I were sitting at my kitchen table eating and we both noticed a bug crawling on his arm. It was a tick!

This picture looked much less… intense than some other ones that I found…

So I did what any good girlfriend would do: I picked the tick off of his arm and tried to squish it between my fingers.

That darn bug wouldn’t die.

So I did what any desperate girlfriend would do. I dropped the tick into the candle that was burning on the kitchen table.

That darn bug died!

Of course, when Jimmy and I were telling our little tick story to some friends at church, he (jokingly) claimed that it jumped out of my hair. HA!

Then I started to get freaked out and asked my mom to check my hair for ticks. No worries though, she checked, and I didn’t have any 🙂

Have you ever had a tick?!

Fall weekend

My weekend was very fall-ish. I loved it.

I started off the weekend by breaking into my house on Friday night. It was pretty awesome. Jimmy and I went out to dinner and my parents had left the house as well and locked the front door. When I got home, I realized that I didn’t have my house key… so I just climbed through the window and Jimmy took my picture. I typically break into my house 4-5 times a year.

On Saturday I went for an 11 mile run on some killer hills. Jimmy and I went to a pumpkin patch/farmer’s market and he carved a punpkin while I (sadly) did homework. Jimmy carved the word “Minecraft” into his pumpkin. It’s a video game. I just laugh at him sometimes. We roasted pumpkin seeds with Old Bay seasoning. I really want to roast them with cinnamon and sugar next time!

Sunday was spent at church and running a 5k. Sunday was also 47* and rainy.Hannah and I at church.

To not make this post drag on forever (and because I have to leave for school soon), I’m going to blog about the 5k in my next post :).

How was your weekend?

Bible verse of the day: Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1
