2008-2009


I rang in the new year with some friends at a local bar

Skip had to work but made it there just before midnight!!

We had a bowling party for Skip's 26th birthday

We nervously watched the Giant's continue on each week of the playoffs

Celebrated when THE GIANT'S WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!
Skip and I rejoiced when we discovered WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!! {this is not actually my picture...i just got it from google....but I did take the same tests!}

We sold our condo and said goodbye to it before moving into our very first house!


We went on a wonderful {though I would never do it 10 weeks pregnant again} trip to Paris...it had always been my dream!

I got to see the Lombardi Trophy up close and personal at Draft Day

I said goodbye to my kids and fellow staff and 'retired' from teaching

My belly started to grow!

My big sis L and I went on a trip to Florida

To celebrate the wedding of one of my military boys

And my belly got bigger there too

When I got home, Skip and I added a new member to our already growing family
And my belly got bigger

And bigger

One of my Marine's Girls got married!

And my belly got bigger

And bigger!

I got to meet Tiki Barber again!! {this is the last picture of my pregnant, btw...4 days before I gave birth!!}

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I became a Mommy

Skip became a Daddy

We began our new life as parents


Little M's first holiday...Christmas!
Finally a family of three {or five if you include the dogs!}

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing.

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
