Boring!

I realize that I haven't posted in a while but there is good reasoning...nothing new and/or exciting has taken place! So, unfortunately, I have nothing good to write about.

We are still plugging along at our jobs and enjoying them. Oh yes, there is some new news...Pat got a new job! He is now doing graphic design relating to sports instead of women's hosiery. He is happy with the change and pleased to be dealing with things he knows a lot more about! His drive is about 15 minutes longer than his other job. He works Monday - Friday; 9-5. This means, that he gets to sleep in longer and gets home earlier than he did with Americal. He doesn't mind working Friday's (at his previous company, they worked 4 10 hour days) because that old company was going to start working Friday's anyway.

Our sweet pumpkin angel, Cammie, is still doing well. (I say the beginning descriptions somewhat lightly this week because she is still getting into things and chewing some things when we are gone during the day so, needless to say, she is now spending her days back in her cage.) :( We feel bad about this, but she has to learn and can't be destroying our furniture!

Hopefully something more interesting will take place soon so that I can continue to blog because I really enjoy it! :)

Birthday Fun!

Today marks the birth of two of the men in my life! My husband and brother! (I know...it's cute that bro-in-law's share the same b-day!)

To my brother, Greg, this day is a great one because he turns 21!! I remember the excitement that I had because I could order a drink with my dinner at a restaurant! Since he is a MSU student, he has a wide range of awesome bars that he can celebrate at! Happy 21st Birthday Greg!

To the hubby it's not a big milestone...at least not until next year! This year, he will celebrate 29 wonderful years! While it's not a big birthday, number wise, he is still excited because he will get to have visitors! His parents came down last night and will be staying until Monday. They came down the same time last year and it works out perfectly because it's between Pat's b-day and mom Val's birthday which is on...you guessed it, Valentine's Day, (hence the name Val!) :) We will be going out to dinner, hopefully to a place that REALLY embarrasses the birthday boy! haha! Happy Birthday hubby!

Also, we are looking forward to the Super Bowl. Good food and drinks, the "football" sounds, being at home in cozy slippers...can it get any better? I still think the big game should be held on a Saturday to allow for proper celebrations and parties!

We hope you all in enjoy your weekend whatever you might be doing! :)

How great is that?

My new favorite invention would be a digital picture frame! I know it's not a new invention, but it's new to me. We got one for Christmas and just hooked it up last night! It is so great to see the pictures flash through in a slide show! We had an extra memory card so we were able to transfer our favorite pictures from the computer; rather than just have the ones that we took recently. It gave us a chance to reminisce by including ones from a wedding shower, our wedding, our honeymoon, when Cammie was a puppy, special times with friends and family, etc. All I can say is I LOVE it! ;)

Craziness!

So, moving to the south took some adjusting to. Mainly getting used to being away from family, still getting used to married life, learning to tolerate the hot summers, and changing jobs. What's a little more strange to comprehend is the fact that they call off schools and close businesses and/or churches with just a threat of snow!

Not even kidding...Monday evening it was about 45 degrees out and the sky was partly cloudy; but beginning probably around 6:30 p.m. closings started appearing at the bottom of the screen. By 9:00 my school was closed and it had just begun raining! Now, it is a good thing that school was called off because we woke up to a winter wonderland (NC style). We got probably 3 inches of snow and it continued to snow all the way until 1:00 in the afternoon on Tuesday. Some places got 6 inches throughout the day! To all of us MI people, 3 inches doesn't sound too bad, right? Well to the NC people, that is a blizzard! They are not equipped with all the snow plows like the northern states, nor do people know how to drive in it. Pat still had to go to work and braved the roads in the Trailblazer, utilizing the 4-wheel drive and said that the roads were still horrible!

Come Tuesday evening, school was cancelled yet again for Wednesday! And come Wednesday evening, school for Thursday was...just delayed 2 hours, this time! Yes, 2 1/2 days off for 3 inches of snow! I know it's hard, but believe it! :)

So, I had a wonderful extended weekend considering I had Monday off too for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The highlight of having Tuesday off was getting to watch the inauguration! It was very interesting to see history made.

It's been a while since the last post, but I hope every one's new year is off to a great start!

Until next time...

2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's hard to believe that it is already 2009. Our hope is that you have a blessed, happy, healthy new year! 2008 was a great year and we are excited to see what 2009 has in store for us!

Cheers to 2009! :)

Addicting!

So I have to come to find out that this blog thing can be quite addicting! There are so many adorable backgrounds and things to add to "accessorize" the blog - which means, many hours can be spent sitting in front of the computer screen! I have seen so many cute blogs out there and am still learning all the ways to make it look neat. Any suggestions out there for a new blogger?
