Big Time Blog Slackin'

Hi to my faithful five followers ha ha. Really there hasn't been much to follow! Just wanted to say that I'm going to make more of an effort to not only chronicle my goings on with my trusty digital camera (which I do)...but to actually upload the pictures off of my camera and onto my computer. I make this promise to you, my favorite five. Just give me a few days to get it all together!

New Year's Eve Party!!

This was the first New Year's Eve where we didn't have any major plans...the changes of having children!! At the last minute we decided that we wanted to party and put on our party clothes.

Champ in his pimp party gear! I promise I will get better at putting together these posts...I had intended a different order for these pictures and had a few more in mind. Oh well.

Olivia put together her own outfit. The side pony tail is all mine!

Deven got fully into character, once that mustache was put on, he was hard core!

Our New Year's toast...the kid's got to have some Pepsi...we had something a little stronger :0)

Blessings in 2009 to you all!

The Weather in Salem is Crazy!

Okay, normally that title wouldn't apply, but this past week has been nuts! I wake up every morning not really sure of what I can accomplish for the day. Like today, for example, I woke up wanting to go to the gym. As of five minutes ago, I thought that would work out. Now it's snowing....again. Ha Ha. Gotta love it when we realize we have no control.

My very first blog post!

First of all, thank you Ferozah for inspiring me to create this blog...I have been wanting to do this forEVER, but all I needed was a call this morning to make it happen. I shouldn't be surprised, Ferozah has been my events coordinator and general motivator for over 10 years now. This would be a good place to post some old school picture, but since digital cameras weren't invented when we became friends, I'll have to scan some in later!

Something really fun happened this week: before the storm settled in and closed down Salem for a few days, my good friend and fantastic photographer, Shelby, took some pictures of Champ and I for our anniversary.

It was a wonderful experience...and a great reminder that even though we've been a couple for 8 years...married for 6, there is still something magical when we look into each other's eyes. Yes, it's official: I still love my husband very much!
