Resolutions

We all have them. We all break them. So why bother??

Ok, so they aren't always broken!

Sorry to get your hopes up.... ;)




Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Evening!

Not Really A Post

I promise... just something I can finally share, since the family gifts have all been given! :) Enjoy. Some are obvious "bloopers," but at least we have one good family shot! :)

Bloggy Hiatus

Not sure when I'll be back. Maybe the end of the week. Maybe the beginning of next week. Hubby is OFF all week- and we are going to try to enjoy each other before he starts his new position and before my classes start back up, both happening on the 5th.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! :) We did! I have a ton of photos. We celebrated with SEVEN different groups of family members, from Wednesday to today, and honestly... I am all Christmased out. My favorite part, you ask? Watching my boys interact with various cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. And remembering how much fun it was to be a kiddo at Christmas time! (OH! And Amy came home, for a visit, and I was able to squeeze her into one of the family events! :) )

Anyway- see you all soon! Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

From our family, to yours, have a wonderfully blessed Christmas. Let us not forget why we celebrate. Happy Birthday, Jesus!

SO Excited!

Two posts, one day... I know... but I have a good reason:

After getting certified, last week, in VM Servers.... Andy....Got....

PROMOTED today!!!!!!


God answered our prayers! ONE year of prayers, learning to wait... The Lord has blessed us SO much and we are forever thankful!


So, congratulations, Love; You deserve it! :)

Favorite Food Swap

So, anyone who knows me know show much I like food. Yea, yea, so you say I don't eat...whatever... I LOVE me some good food... I wouldn't be a very good daughter of a Chef, if I didn't appreciate good food! And I am most certainly a GOOD daughter.... ;) Anyway.... so when Elaine announced the "Favorite Food Swap" I had to join in! And boy I am so glad I did!

So, I come home to a giant Crate and Barrel box, on my front porch. I was a little excited, because I thought maybe Andy had ordered me a special something from Crate and Barrel. Not the case. But what was inside was EVEN better.

Julie was my swap buddy. I sent her a little something, and she sent me a (lot) of something! She went me wonderful goodies, straight from CT! She sent me Apple cider donuts, AMAZING chocolate chip cookies, homemade rice cakes (yum), and an apple strudel that didn't last long, once Andy got a hold of it!

So here are my goodies, and of me opening them up! :) Taking photos was almost as fun as opening the goodies. ha ha ha. :) Thanks, Julie!!!!

It's Beginning to....

Look a lot like Christmas!

What have we been doing, since last Wednesday, you ask? Well take a look (all photos are SOOC... Give me a break; it's been a long past few days!):

1) We made cookies with some of our favorite people!

2) We saw Santa... yea...no pictures with the Man himself...for sad reasons. Poor Santa.

3) We had Christmas with Bop, Gramma, Aunt Michelle (and her whole crew)

This is the apron we made for Bop. I think he liked it! :)


(this is my 10 year old nephew and I... He is taller... bigger...than I am... at least I have one more guy to take care of me! :))


4) Look! Bop got Adam an apron for Christmas! Now "Chef Adam" is official, when making PB & J sandwiches!


5) We spent Sunday at the local Conservatory. It was beautiful!





6) I got THIS in the mail, and will be posting about that, ASAP! :) Thanks, Julie!
