Autumn Arrival

Dave and I wanted to share some pretty big news!!! We recently found out that we will be expecting a baby this fall. My expected due date is mid- November. We are very excited and have lots of changes to look forward to.

We will keep everyone updated to any news we get as it happens.

Spring, Spring, Where are you??

We have hardly seen any snow this winter. Quite a difference from the amount of snow back in Chicago. It mostly rained here this winter. We got some ice a couple of times and an inch or so every now and then but nothing too exciting. Which is a good thing because they cancel school here for the threat of snow!!

But this past weekend we got a blizzard!!!! It was the biggest storm we had all winter. Luckily it came Friday, so I left work early to avoid the traffic and stayed in all day Saturday. Dave finally got to use his plow Friday night and plowed for about 12 hours but then his windshield wipers quite working so he had to quit. He missed out on alot of money, but he was tired so he wasn't heartbroken. We ended up getting between 10 and 12 inches. It was hard to tell how much was really there because it was also very windy and we had several big drifts. That sure made it fun to walk Titan!!

Sure hope that is the last of the snow for this year. I am ready for spring so we can put in our fence and do our landscaping. We will sure have a busy spring and summer.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers

Everyone's Best Friend- Tequila

I thought this was funny, enjoy!!!

We're not in Kansas anymore!!!

Dave and I went downtown last night to see Wicked!!! It was awesome. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has thought about going. I wanted to see it when we lived in Chicago but tickets were so expensive. We were able to get them cheaper here so we went, but it would have been worth paying the price for tickets in Chicago. At least that is my opinion. Dave didn't really want to go and then he was horribly uncomfortable because we were crammed into the place, but even though he wasn't happy to be there, I think he thought the show was pretty good.

Everything was unbelievably good. The set, the singing and the story line were all wonderful. It changed everything about The Wizard of Oz movie.

Stacy, I saw on the website it is coming to Charlotte in April if you are interested.

Good News in the New Year

Dave has good news to share to start the new year. Almost 6 months after our move he will be starting a new job in a little over a week. He is pretty excited about it. He will be driving a truck, delivering for a nursery. Right up his alley. He hopes to learn alot about the plants and he will get an employee discount which will come in handy come spring. We need to seed and fertlize our whole yard and lots of landscaping. Right now we have no plants or tree what so ever so we will make good use of the discount. He will also have lots of opportunity for overtime. In the spring and fall he will probably be working 60 hours a week most of the time. But the winter is a little slower, and he hasn't worked in almost 6 months so it will do him good make up all that time.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope everyone had a very wonderful Christmas!!! This is our first Chrstmas tree in our new house. We went to a local tree farm and cut our own this year. Definitely a learning curve on that one. The tree was much bigger than we expected when we got home and not very straight so that was fun to put up. Once it was up it looked great though. No presents under our tree. Titan would have them all torn up if we put them under there.

This was the first Christmas for me away from my family in IL. Dave's family made sure that it was a good one. We had lots of good food and nice presents. And we get to do Christmas all over again on Friday when my parents come for a visit. They are stopping for one night on the way to visit Stacy for Emerson's 1st birthday and then they will be back for a few more days on their way back.

We are looking forward to the new year. Wishing everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!!
