2 Years Later . . .


After 2 fully years of marriage Jeff and I finally finished off the last of our gift cards!! Amazing/ridiculous I know! We were so blessed (and still are) by so many loving friends and family that truly gave us the world! For the past 2 years we have been able to get anything and everything we needed to set up our home with these gift cards. We got all sorts of cool gizmo's and gadgets for the kitchen, organization stuff, decorations, bedding, bath stuff, truly . . . everything you can think of. It has been so nice because if we ever thought of something we needed, we would just make a trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and get it. So as we are trying to get our tiny apartment baby ready we decided we could really use one of those Over-the-toilet storage cabinets, and one of the Under-the-bed plastic containers. And that is what finished it off!

Part of me was really excited, but at the same time I am quite sad that now anytime I think of something that would be nice to have I'll have to think twice about the purchase. So to all those who truly showered us with gifts, here is another THANK YOU for helping us get through our first two years with everything we could ever possibly need. And to everyone else who might read this, sorry that it is kind of a silly post but it was a day Jeff and I wanted to remember so this is my journal for 30 January 2009, exactly 2 years and one month after our wedding. Life is grand and we are truly blessed!!

*Ironic side note: I actually returned the over-the-toilet cabinet because we found a nicer cheaper one at target instead. So today I returned the one to BB&B after all of this silly post, we now have a new gift card balance. HAHA! But we will still count the original day as when we finished it off. But the thought did make me chuckle.

Haha, don't you love it! We actually still have some left, too!!! We had a big one for Linens & Things that we were saving to get new stuff when we move, but then they went out of business so we used it for everyone's Christmas presents! And yes, such a blessing!!!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
