Can you believe it???

I am actually posting something. I know. It's insane. But, I felt the need to once again do a little shout out to my sweet friend, Jordanne. You see, I got the wonderful chance to talk with miss Jordanne yesterday and as usual, I hung up my phone thinking about what a blessing Jordanne is to me and everyone else she is in contact with. It's not that Jordanne does anything out of the ordinary that is shocking or anything...it's just her. She is just a precious human being whom I think the world of. Jordanne, I hope you know that. I am so proud of you and what you are doing right now and that you are content to wait upon what the Lord has in store for you and your future.

Jordanne, I love you much and think the world of you.


In other news...
We don't have much new news. Kyle and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary on November 3rd so that was pretty exciting! That weekend, we had the girls and Chloe made us a little card that said "Happy Aniversity!" It was cute!

Our puppy, Casey, is now a massive 5 lbs or pure cuteness and mischief. She is funny and loves to play play play and chase the girls...who giggle the entire time.

The girls are awesome! Suzie will celebrate her 7th birthday on December 5th. She is in 1st grade and loving it...learning to read and write. She LOVES to play on the computer.

Chloe is 8 and in 3rd grade. She is a spelling whiz having scored a perfect score on her last 2 spelling tests. She's taking piano and has her first recital on December 2 where she'll play a fun Christmas song. She is a great big sister.

Audrey is 4 and started pre-school this year. She insisted that she DID not want to go to school but I think she is really enjoying it. She has learned a new song from there that she sings often! She is a ball of energy and makes us laugh all the time.

Kyle is doing well with real estate. He's been busy this year and is loving his job. My job is good as well.

Life is fun and we love being married!!

Until the next time...Happy Turkey Day and Merry Ho Ho!!

Here I am...

As usual, I needed to wait months before I posted again. It would just be weird if I posted too soon. This particular post is dedicated to Miss Jordanne because I noticed she requested an update. So, alas, my little J0-Danne...this one is for you :)

I just finished updating myself on miss Jordanne as I was reading her blog. It looks fantastic and I always love reading about what you are up to. It helps me feel more connected to you since we don't get to chat very often. I am just so dang proud of you. You are such a wonderful, thoughtful, special woman of God and I am so blessed to have you as a friend in my life. I look forward to the day when you get to go into full time missions because your heart is so massive for that. For those who don't know Jordanne, please check out her blog and you will see what I am talking about...http://jordanneb.blogspot.com/

I also was perusing your other blog links and found Jessica's blog...that's fun! I went through some of the others and then I clicked on the one that said "My Mentor" and it went to my blog. I almost cried. You are too precious. I am so thankful for you and I am honored to be in your life...thank you for loving me.

Okay, I'm gonna start crying in just about a second or two so I'm going to move on to a new topic. Here I go...my husband and I recently added a new addition to our family...a little puppy whom we like to call "Casey". Most of you know I did have 2 other dogs, Jack and Jill. We had to have Jill put down in January and Jack was put down on June 1. I was very close to Jack and his absence left me very sad so we got another puppy so I wouldn't cry all the time.

Soooo...Casey is a little Yorkiepoo. She is 75% Yorkshire Terrier and 25% Poodle. She is almost 4 months old and she weighs a whopping 3.2 lbs, although she thinks she is the size of a German Shepherd. She tried to take out a St. Bernard at the vet's office the other day and I'm pretty sure his tail weighed more than her entire body. She won't get much bigger than 5-6 lbs...much much smaller that Jack and Jill who were like 40 lbs. She's so cute and very playful and has moved right into our home and hearts. She also loves to go to Grandma and Grandpa's right next door. She has her own toys and little box to sleep in over there. Yes, she's spoiled already. Our girls love love love her and Casey loves to play with them as well.

So, here are a few pictures of her...





This last one is of Chloe and Suzie with her. Chloe (8) is on the left and Suzie (6) is holding Casey. Aren't they all just so cute??!!

Allrighty then...hope all is well with everyone. Jordanne, keep smiling and loving like you do. I think you are amazing!!

Maybe I'll post again soon...

Does anyone...

still check this thing????

Seriously, I'm a bad, bad blog poster. But, for those like 3 people who may or may not still check this thing...I was thinking that you could give me some updates on ya. So, please, please, comment to this particular post and let me know what is going on in your worlds. Pretty please...

In the meantime, I thought I'd try to post a few random wedding pictures. Everytime, I look at any of the pictures, I just wish the day was here all over again. It was SOOO fun! I should warn you though that I seem to have issues when it comes to posting pictures on this thing. They are never aligned or anything so please forgive the mass chaos of the layout (which drives me BONKERS) Okay, here's some pictures :)
