I love this weather......

I decided when I woke up this morning that I was going to have a good day....so far, it seems to be working. I love this time of year..it just does something to me. I love the smell in the air, the decorations, the food, and everyone seems a little bit happier. I know that I do!! I know some people that are having a really tough time right now (for different reasons- health, kids, work, grief, life...)...and it makes me realize how we need to cherish EVERY single moment we get in this life. I take so many things for granted and don't even realize it. It hit me when I went to Jazzercise class the other day (I didn't want to go....laying around on the couch sounded way better for a Sunday)..but I went....and there were these "older" ladies in there keeping up with every move. They seemed happy to be there and it made me realize that there are people out there that can't get off of the couch, but want to....so, I have decided that whining is no longer an option for me......
at least not today!!!

Last Weekend....and This Weekend

Okay, I am a little behind....

Last weekend we kept our niece and nephew. They are so much fun. We made cards and ate pizza. I caught them hanging out with their uncle Nick, so I took a picture. Our niece, McKenna, brought her stuffed cat with her. We learned really quick that Stitch doesn't play well with others.....he bit the stuffed cat on the ear :)

This past weekend we spent the day with Nick's sister, her husband, and their kids (the two mentioned earlier). It was a fun trip to Cincinnati....and we ate at a cool place in Aurora. It was called 3rd and Main....Nick had a blast on the way home....we took a little scenic drive and found tons of deer. Busy week ahead, but I will try to update more often.

Sweet Baby......

We don't have children, so this is our sweet baby....Stitch! He is so much fun. He was laying in the sun this morning and started posing for me (I just purchased a new camera). I had a blast with him....he likes to get his picture taken.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Today is our one year anniversary...I can't believe how quickly time goes by....I guess it's because we're having so much fun :)

I had a wonderful weekend with Nick and thank God for him everyday!!

Internet problems

What would we do without the internet? Sorry that I haven't posted lately.....several people have asked why....well, our internet has been giving us a lot of issues. I hope to have it fixed soon. I have been busy lately. I just joined Jazzercise and love it!!! I will keep you posted on how much I like it in a couple of weeks :) Hopefully, I can keep it up. My one year wedding anniversary is this weekend....I can't believe it's been ONE YEAR! I thank God everyday for my husband. I'll be sure to post more soon......

More Birthday Fun....

Nick adores his niece and nephew. They are a blast and being around them helps prepare us for parenting. I love to watch him with them. He is so good with kids..........I keep telling him that it's because he is a big kid.....

Happy Birthday Nicholas!!

WOW!! We had a great birthday party for Nick yesterday. A few family and friends came over to enjoy good food, great cupcakes/cookies, and the cool evening weather (we put the fire pit to work). Nick's parents presented him with 30 presents that all had a note on them....they all had a purpose and each gift had special meaning. Some of them were a little "risky".....as you can see from his expression, he was surprised!!

The little guy.....

Stitch acts like he has such a hard life. I keep telling him that he is blessed to have such wonderful parents. My father-in-law said it best when he told us that.....our house belongs to Stitch....and he allows us to live in it with him.

This is him hanging out with his daddy.....they do this EVERY night.

Busy Times....

I am working on Nick's 30th birthday party. It will mainly be family, but work is hectic this week and will consume a lot of my time. The most important thing has been ordered.....the food!!!
