Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Mom for a day



So on Friday I tended our nephew Miles. I had him from Friday around 4:00 until Saturday afternoon. My sister-in-law Trish keeps telling me thank you but really I should thank her...I had so much fun pretending to be "mom" for the day. Miles is such a sweetheart and he really got attached to me (I'm sure because I was giving him all the attention he could ever want and pretty much anything else he wanted too.) My mom came over and Miles was pretty much attached to my leg, he was squeezing it like his life depended on it. She took this picture cause it was so funny. If I went out of the room he would yell "Hey" and come look for me. He was also totally amazed by my cell phone and would not put it down. I had to take it from him once to answer a call from Shane and he got this sad little puppy dog look on his face like I had just broken his heart...too funny! When Shane got home it took Miles a minute to warm up to him but he soon did cause Shane is lots of fun and in no time he had Miles laughing and playing. Aren't these pictures cute...that was a fun weekend

Home Sweet Home

So like I have said Shane and I just built a house in Marriott-Slaterville. Building a home was an experience like nothing else. It was fun, exciting, nerve wracking and stressful all in one! It was very interesting to watch the process of our home being built each step at a time. We checked on our house pretty much daily for all six months of construction and took many, many pictures to remeber each step. Here is our house from just the lot through foundation, framing, brick, painting and finally moving in. It is a great home that we have put a lot of thought and time into to truly make it our home just the way we want it. People say if your marriage can survive building a home it can survive anything...I guess Shane and I have no worries from here on out, right!?! (We only had a few fights over it, the rest was a lot of fun and I am glad we were in it together!)














To get things rolling...

Okay, so this whole blogging thing is really totally out of my element...I really don't do things like this but with pressure from my friend Kerstin at work and the fact that I do think it is a fun way to keep people in touch I guess you could say I am now a "blogger". To start things off here are some pictures of some fun moments over the last two years since Shane and I have been married (they are in no particular order). I kind of feel like I do every time I start writing in a journal again...where do I start so much has happened.
