I have a new addiction....

I have a new addiction.... www.thepioneerwoman.com ....she has me almost convinced to buy a ranch, a bunch of cows and have four babies...well maybe not. Maybe I can just get Matt to wear the wranglers and chaps...wouldn't that be funny!

I know..I know I need to post pictures of NYC but they are on Matt's computer and not mine....so yes I am being lazy. And on the baby news...the critter seems to be growing and the heartbeat is healthy. We will know on July 30th the gender of our little critter.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend celebrating our Independence!

Counting Down the Minutes....

I am counting down the minutes until I can leave...some more Adventure Week with the kiddos tonight and then working from home tomorrow in my pjs...oh I can't wait. I have to say I have enjoyed learning about the children's programs of our church this week...Matt and I have kind of avoided it for the past few years. No more avoiding it now!!!

Besides counting down the minutes til leaving time today...I am also counting down til our flight to NYC on Wednesday night. I am so ready to get out of town for a few days! Tiffany's here I come ;)

Hope everyone has had a great week....its almost Friday!!

Our Christmas Gift

Santa decided to surprise us with a visit early....and three tests later....and we knew for sure he was bringing us a Baby Steele for Christmas! We are totally amazed and excited about our little surprise and have been completely reminded that God is in Control...no matter how much I love to plan :)

Happy Birthday!

May is the month of our Mom's....with Mother's Day and their birthdays just a day apart...its a month long celebration! We both are blessed to have wonderful Moms...and I hope they both have enjoyed their birthdays! We love you!

Sewing Project

I got to spend Easter holiday weekend with my parental units in Albany. So we tackled the sewing project I have been putting off for weeks on Saturday afternoon while dad snuck off to hunt the turkeys that keep escaping from him....

I am here...I promise

You know blogging can really be intimidating....lately when I have been venturing into the blog world. I mean the decorating blogs, the organizing blogs and the cooking blogs...a lady actually used her crockpot for 365 days straight. I get overwhelmed thinking how do they have time to keep such great blogs, do all the stuff they blog about and then read other great blogs. So my creative side is trying to show itself...to the pattern and the fabric for the curtain I want to sew are sitting on the kitchen table. Will I ever have something to blog about that is just as cool? Don't answer that Hillary!

Matt kept trying to convince me that I wanted a Wii for Christmas but he could never convince me. You know diamonds are such a better gift! So I came home from a work dinner the other week and guess what my surprise was...oh yea a Wii and a Wii Fit. You think he is trying to tell me something. No matter his thought process, we have had the best time laughing at each other trying to balance on that little white board....Matt doing Yoga doesn't that just make you giggle....or hula hooping :)

The past couple of weeks have been just a big ole struggle...God and I have been wrestlin'. Wrestling with my need to be in control....I want to plan. Yes I know hard to believe (just see the results of the personality test GE gave me). I want to analyze and plan...I want the logical path but it just doesn't work that way. There are good days when all is happy and I think I have given all these worries over to Him...and then it just creeps back over. I feel petty asking for you to remember me in your prayers...but just remember Matt is living with me and he has to put up with my cranky actions when I am worrying and wrestlin' so if anything pray for him... LOL

So Laura is asking for pictures on my blog today. So pictures of what I ask? Here are two from Oxford (you just feel smarter walking down those cobblestone streets)....I have the travel bug again. It's bad but I just don't think I can handle 8 weeks away from my sweetie again ...but then again ...nah! He has been extra sweet lately....maybe just maybe he will take me to NYC this spring...you know if I give in to attending a baseball game at the new stadium for the Yankees I should at least get a trip to Tiffany's and this time the box better not be EMPTY!

Matt is busy working this weekend (yeah right bunch of salesmen and women together more like a bunch of talking) and so I have filled my weekend catching up with some of the wonderful ladies in my life and I can't wait so Laura yes more pictures after this weekend :) that is if I remember my camera!

A New Year...

I have neglected our poor little blog for over a month. December was just a busy month with holiday parties and all our traditional Christmas activites. We had a wonderful Christmas with our family and friends and so glad we were able to spend some time with ya'll. We spent New Year's Eve at the Chickfila bowl...watching paper planes fly around the stadium...it was very sad and a boring game for us Tech fans. But needless to say Matt is already counting down the days till the next football season!

Work has been busy for the both of us...Matt getting a promotion to District Manger and I took on a special project role for the next year...but we are very thankful to just have jobs!

We have been working on our home improvement to do list a little...that list always seems to keep growing! We finally painted our bedroom and bathroom...thanks to the experienced and awesome help of Matt's parents! I promise to post pictures soon...now I just need to get moving on finding fabric and making a curtain for the bathroom! Always adding to my personal to do list :)

Well a small update for now...hopefully our lives will be a little more adventurous in the coming weeks so that my post aren't quite so boring :)

Happy New Year and hope you are enjoying the super bowl.....
