Hi all! Just wanted to update everyone... our house is coming up so fast! They poured the foundation last week and are putting up walls next week. They are sooo fast! We left for work Monday morning, and came home Monday evening to the foundation. Then Tuesday we have porches. It's going to be sooo beautiful when they get finished. I am so excited! Daniel finds it amusing that every evening I have to go "inspect" their work.... like I even know what I am looking at!  I can't wait to get moved into my perfect house with my perfect hubby!!!

As most of you probably already know (if you have talked to me recently)... Daniel and I have been looking into building a house sometime in the future. We hav taken our plans and had them drawn up and everything.  And I just got the phonecall today from the morgage company and the bank... and everything's approved!!!! I am sooooo excited! We have to meet and finalize a few things with the plans. But the contractor is writing up our contract now.

I can't believe we're actually going to build our dream house. We wanted to before we were married, but there just wasn't enough time. Now it's actually happening!!!!

Ok... I just had to share some of my happiness with everyone else!!!!!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Hi all!

Last week I had trouble logging into my account for a few days...I didn't think anything of it. Then it happened again yesterday. If anyone got any random blogs or messages from me, I'm sorry. I've changed my password and hope everything's fixed now.

In my Inbox this morning was a message informing me I had been "tagged". I was told that meant I had to post 6 interesting facts that some people may not know about me. This is going to be hard to do.... I'm pretty open with all my friends. But here goes nothing.......

1. I cannot wait to begin a family- just the idea of becoming a mom makes me get butterflies. I know it's not all easy, but I truly believe I was made to be a mom. Jocie, Hunter, and Ryan are my angels. It's hard for me to imagine how I am going to love my own more than them. And pregnant women have such a glow.... I think they all are adorable, well, most of them. :)

2. I have a HORRIBLE fear of needles- when Daniel and I had to have our bloodwork done before the wedding, I was terrified. We went to have our blood drawn and I wanted to cry. The nurse took us back to a room and I wanted to go first and get it over with. She stuck me 3 times, yes, 3 times, before going to get someone else. A guy nurse comes in and gets it the first time. By this point I'm almost puking/crying/passing out. Daniel sits down, he gets him first try. My arm was literally black for a week. That was not a good experience and didn't help me overcome my fear of needles at all. And in reference to #1... I'm so scared of having an epidural, I'm going to have my "oneday" family, totally nautral. Atleast that's what I say now. :)

3. I love "me" time- I could so easily spend the day alone, at home, not calling anyone, ignoring all my calls, just me, and the kitty of corse. :) I've found that sometimes after a busy day, week, etc., this is exactly what I need. Although they are few and far between now. :)

4. I am a neat freak- ask my husband. Bed has to be made everyday... regarless. :) If the house is a mess at all, I can't handle it. When we go to bed at night, I make a last trip by the sink to make sure no dishes are in it. Everything has a place, and shoudl be in it. :)

5. I cannot sleep in an unmade bed. If the bed is not made in the morning and we get home at bedtime.. it still has to be made before I can crawl in and go to sleep. I just cannot sleep on twisted/messed up sheets. 

6. I love storms! Something about them just puts me in the best mood. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting on our back porch listening to the rain and thunder and watching the lightening. And sleeping.... I could sleep for years if it's raining! :)

Thank goodness... I'm finished! I hope you have learned something you didn't know before about me! :) Now it's your turn!

You're tagged!!!!

Do any of you ever just wake up happy.... but not sure exactly why???

Today has sooo been one of those days for me, which is unusual because today I have to do payroll (which is no fun AT ALL). But for some reason I woke up at 5:30 (an early 5:30... might I add) in the best mood!

Then I get to work and am finished with payroll by lunch, which hardly ever happens. Then... just a little while ago, a big florist truck pulls up outside with me this huge vase of flowers... Sunday is mine and Daniel's first wedding anniversary! Do I have a great husband, or what? They are the most beautiful flowers I think I've ever seen... gerber daisies, lillies, roses, the 3 flowers we used in our wedding. It's absolutely beautiful!!!!!!

I still can't believe we have been married a whole year. It seems like only yesterday I was picking out vendors, my photographer, and making decision after decision. But it has been a wonderful year and I know we have so many more to come. Being married is wonderful!

Just wanted to share some of my "happiness"!!!
