Same Old

Nothing to new to report. Life has been busy with ordinary things (work, grocery shopping, hanging out with friends, laundry, going to the gym, etc...) David will find out sometime this week if he got into the business school at the University of Maryland (please be praying that God would give him favor in the decision process!) and if he gets in life will be very full with him going back to school full time. I will keep you posted on this!

Other than that, David and I have started going back to the gym on a regular basis (4 times this week, ha we will see how long I last :-)). We have been going with Seth and Janet and that has been a lot of fun and great motivation.

Next weekend David and I will be taking an overnighter to Williamsburg. I am so excited to go away with my hubby!!!

Christmas 2008

David showing off his new Browns sweatshirt and players gloves!
Shadow wanting to eat breakfast with us.
My dad got a pellet gun as one of his presents. He love it. And Catie and David did too! But the classic Caitlin line was when my dad asked her if she wanted to shoot it..."Sure dad, let me just finish painting my nails!" I loved it! She also got a bulls eye!


Getting ready for another family photo...
Did I mention that I love my sisters so much! We had such a fun time together!
This video is of Shannon playing a game on Christmas over at my Uncle John's house.

Our first Christmas

Wow, I cannot believe it is almost Christmas! We are headed to Cleveland today to spend the holiday with my family! Hopefully I will have lots of pictures to post! (if I can remember to pull out my camera)


Here are a couple of David and I having fun! Did I mention that I love him so much!!!! (Complete side note: My wonderful husband, changed a car battery yesterday in the freezing cold all by himself! I was so proud of him. David thank you for the many ways you care for us. I am so grateful to God I am your wife =). ) Now the fun pictures....

Family and Friends

Well let's just say this post has been a long time coming! We were without internet for 3 weeks and then as soon as we got it back life became really busy! So I am sorry Aunt Nancy for not keeping you up to date:-)
3 Weeks ago David and I went home for the weekend to visit my family! It was so nice to be back in Cleveland because I was really home sick prior to the visit! We had a blast just hanging out with my sisters, going shopping and going to a movie.
Trying to take a normal picture with all 4 of these people is always a challenge:-)
I love him so much!

Kit-Kats at the movies! Yumm

The following weekend one of my dear friends Sarah Altrogge (she was in my wedding) and her husband came to spend the night at our little home. I was so blessed to be able to send time with them and catch up. Also during this weekend, David's grandparents came to visit and we were able to spend time with them.
Last weekend we took a trip to IOWA for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary celebration. That's right, the great state of Iowa where the corn goes sweeping down the plain! ha. This was the first time David had ever been this far west so it was quite the adventure for him ;-).
Crossing over the Mississippi river (Miss-iss-ipp-i) David stunned in amazement!
Welcome to IOWA!
My wonderful parents!
What did I tell you about serious pictures! ha
All my cousins with the grandparents
My adorable little cousin Tessa
All the Fam!
I love them both so much!Aww <3
On the car ride back to the airport with my family. (we all are very tired!)
Sacked out :-)
Then this week we spent Thanksgiving with David's family and had a wonderful relaxing day! I am so blessed for ALL God's many blessing in my life.
