Wow, That's a lot of Snow!

So Yes, Tim and I have been snowed in. We tried this morning, as the snow was still coming down, to dig ourselves out. Well, that did not turn out so well. The snow was at least 17 inches and in some spots upwards to 20 or so inches. That was this morning. I'm pretty sure we now have a little over two feet of snow!!! We both gave up on digging out the driveway and decided we'll try again tomorrow. I must admit, it is nice to be able to be stuck inside your house with your husband and the fireplace going!! To be forced to not go anywhere.

As of right now, the snow has stopped, and we are both very tired and cold!! The dog has finally defrosted after many attempts to get him to go to the bathroom outside! (He HATES the snow!). Here are my photos!

Welcome to February- The Month of LOVE!

Yes, Here I am. I'm going to be attempting a blog post today. With the help of those over at I Heart Faces.

Today, (or should I say all this week), they are talking about the places you Love. Sine Tim and I have been married, we have had the great opportunity to travel. As I think back at all the places we have been to, it is hard to come up with on of those places to be my absolute favorite. So I'll start here: This is a picture from our Honeymoon, Anguilla, BWI. Now We'll move onto to:

This is from a family vacation to Tortola, BVI

This is a photo on Safari When Tim and I went on a Mission Trip to Uganda, Africa! This brings back so many memories and We had such a great time!

And Finally:

This last photo here is from our latest vacation to Hawaii. We stayed on the Big Island and Went up on Mauna Kea to see the sunset above the clouds. Absolutely Amazing, Although Very Cold! Worth it all non-the-less!

So What are the places you love?

Yes, I am still here.

So as if you have, (or haven't) noticed, I've not been blogging much anymore. I have just decided that I don't usually have much to say. Most of my blog entries are all the same. I clean, I cook, I take care of my husband and my dog. Nothing has changed. It's all the same. I still clean, I still cook, I still take care of my husband and my dog. And I do love it, I love my life. I've just come to the conclusion that it's just not much to blog about. I do still want to keep my blog, so I will, in the off chance that I'll actually have something to share... But as for now. There is nothing.

The new years is going well so far. I've had a job interview and that process is still in the works. We'll see how and where that goes for the future. My birthday is next month. I'm not so excited about that, but it's life. We have lots of weddings this year and 2010 just seems like it's going to be a great year that both my husband and I are excited for! I hope you all are as well!!

Keep healthy and keep the faith in 2010! God Bless you all!!

been a long time...

So, it's been well over a month, I think I needed to take this break from blogging, (not like many people follow or look forward to my boring posts anyway...). Not much has happened. Tim and I had a wonderful time on our vacation in Hawaii! I absolutely LOVED it there. I'm ready to pick up and move there if we need too ;-). Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our vacation!











Right now, not much has changed. I signed up for my first Grad class... I'm a little freaked out about it. Still not sure how I feel about going back to school. On top of it all, I've been thinking about it all and wondering if it's the right career for me. So much to think about. I suppose time will tell. We are now getting ready for the Holidays! This is of course one of my favorite times of the year! I love being surrounded by family and friends. I love the decorations! I LOVE Christmas music! Thanksgiving is just three days away and I'm so looking forward to our time in NJ with family and friends! really, that's all the news.... oh, and November 24th marks one year since my Cardiac Ablation! I've been SVT free now for just under 10 months!! This is one thing I've been so thankful for!!

What's one thing you are thankful for?

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! enjoy the time you spend with the ones you love the most! :)

My 100th Post...

So, I really wanted to have an exciting post.... however, I never came up with anything good or interesting to write about. So this post will be as unexciting and random as any other post, it just happens to be number 100. I wish I could do a give away, but I'm not as experienced as you all...

Well, Tuesday, the Tim and I leave for a week in Hawaii. Yes, I'm very excited!! We'll be visiting the big island. I cannot wait! It's been a long time coming!!

Other things: I've been trying to be more creative in the kitchen. Trying out new recipes. I find that I enjoy cooking, I just hate the cleaning up parts. So that's been fun! I've made a chicken tortellini soup, I got the recipe from a neighbor! It was pretty good! So yummy! So that's really all that news.

That's really all the news, (I know, so exciting), I've got right now. I wish I wasn't tired, I wish I had more things to talk about, I wish I was a more daring person to talk about more daring topics, if I even knew of more daring topics... but alas, I do not... at least not at the moment, and now my 100th post has gone to waste. But I didn't want to keep hesitating just because I didn't have anything to write about... sorry, maybe I'll have more interesting to talk about at my 200th post.... we shall see...

My Wreaking Wednesday..

Yes, you read it right. Today I have been dealing with an awful stench in my house, even with all the windows open. Ever since I woke up this morning and walked down stairs and opened the windows there has been this awful smell running through my kitchen and morning room. I tired all day to figure out what it was. I took out the trash. I sprayed Lysol, I light candles... to no avail nothing worked. So I gave up looking for the smell, beginning to think that it was coming from the dump down the street since it's quite windy here today. But that still left me confused since the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. So I finally decided to begin to investigate. Really trying hard to find out where the smell was coming from, and through it all I began to get a headache. It was driving me crazy, until I walked passed my refrigerator and got a nice big whiff of the smell, searching all over still nothing. So I figured if I wiped down the stove top and whatnot it would take care of the smell.... still nothing, UNTIL... I looked down at the nobs. Yes, one of the nobs to my stove top was turned ever so slightly and was leaking propane gas into my house... I found the culprit, quickly turning it back into it's off position, quickly blowing out all the candles in fear the house may blow up. Thankfully it's been a beautiful, windy, but beautiful day here and the windows have been open all day... And now the smell is gone, however, my headache is not...

and now.. here is my picture for wordless wednesday:

An Award

It was so nice for Mrs. M to nominate me for the Honesty Scrap Award!! I actually got it last week, but have been busy running here and there and trying to get things done before vacation in just few short weeks!! Thank you Mrs. M for this award!

The rules of the Honest Scrap Award go like this: List at least 10 honest things about yourself. Then, choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design and link to them, leaving a comment to inform them they have been awarded. Here we go.........

1. I'm unemployed and have been for the last year and a half. Sometimes I miss working, but most of the time, I enjoy sleeping in. :)

2. I like my house to be neat and organized, however, I have no idea how to be neat and organized.

3. I love to cook, but I find a lot of the times, I become lazy when it comes to cooking.

4. I enjoy food shopping. I think the biggest reason for this is because I'm usually stuck in my house all day with no where to go so when that food shopping week comes up, I'm elated to get out of the house!

5. I have this odd fear of children. I'm not really afraid I suppose, it's more like, I'm not sure how to at around them or what to say to them, I still go back and forth on whether or not I want children.

6. I struggled with Anorexia all through high school and was hospitalized my senior year.

7. I had SVT since I was 14 years old or so... But just last year is when they finally caught it when my mother drove my to the ER after years of never having an episode when I would have the heart monitors. SVT is an extra elctrical pathway in your heart where it an cause rapid heart rates, but last November after great dissussion with my cardiologist and electrophysiologist we came to the conlusions that the surgery was the best option. Although I was scared out of my mind, I had it done and am very glad I did. I have been episode free for 9 months now. (I had a few really short episodes for a few months after the procedure.)

8. My parents are dvorced and have been since I was 8.

9. I meet my husband at church.

10. I used to dance, tap and pointe mostly, and I really miss those days.

Now, there are my 10 honest things about me. I don't think I know 7 people I can pass this on to, but I'll try...

All Brianna's Styles
Amanda at Mommy Mandy
Brandy at An American Mom in Germany
Amanda at Garibay Soup
Robynn at Robynn's Ravings
Courtny at Storing Up Treasures

So I was close and found 6 people to pass this award onto. I hope you all enjoy and I cannot wait to learn about you!! :) Have a great day!
