Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation. -- C. Everet Koop, M.D.

We can't wait for our little one to arrive, we are SO excited! Due late Nov. time

WARNING:

This is what happens when your husband doesn't buy you anything for Valentines Day.. I think that will teach him a lesson.

1 Day After

HAHAHAHAHA! OK so I am definitely kidding. REALLY this is what happens when your playing disk golf with someone who is playing for the first time... it was actually Paul's kid from his mission (the one he trained). He was in Utah for the weekend doing Pinnacle business & actually finding out where we are going to be going this summer to sell security systems again. I got the first picture & freaked out! He had to get 6 stitches, poor guy. He is doing good now his eye is still really swollen & turning black & blue.

As for this summer: we will be returning to beautiful Pittsburgh, PA. We are so excited!!!!

We had a very lovely Valentines, I made heart shaped pancakes dyed pink for breakfast, we then had church which the speakers talked a lot about true love, true love for each other, & true love for Christ. My wonderful family made us delicious steaks, with all the helpings, they even gave us a huge heart shaped cookie with XOXO on it. It was so cute! We spent the day together, going on a afternoon bike ride it was beautiful! I gathered up all of Pauls mission pictures & made a photo album for him, it was so neat to see & hear more of the experiences that he had while on his mission. He is still in the process of writing me a letter, or so he says ;) haha. I love my man!

hope everyone had a great day!

HAPPY VALENTINES

Thoughts

As of lately I have decided I am not much of a blogger, I enjoy looking at everyone elses blogs but to sit down and try to write something or try to make mine cute has been a little difficult. I have become very lazy with my blogging even thinking about deleting it, but I know that if I did I would miss looking at everyone elses, and come on I have to be honest with myself I would probably start one back up when we did decide to have children. I have mixed feelings about blogs they are so good you can see whats going on with your friends & family, use it as a journal, get fun creative ideas off others, but then again they CAN be so time consuming & who knows who's actually looking at your blog. It can be a scary thing sometimes. I guess I just need to get back in the mood for it. So hopefully that time will come soon! I will try to keep it updated & fun to look at!

Christmas Time

Christmas was spent up in Heber with the Reidhead Family. It was the perfect Christmas weather! Snow covered the ground & the mountains. Beautiful. It was a very relaxing weekend, with Christmas parties, games, eating, watching movies, snow boarding. The Reidheads have a tradition every Christmas Eve- eat sea food, shrimp, crab.. it was delicious! Thank you to the Reidheads for such an fun, relaxing, memorable weekend!

Paul turned 23 in December his day started off normal work then school. After which he thought we were just going to go to a movie to celebrate, little did he know that I had been planning a surprise party for him. I was able to keep it from him all week, I asked people what they loved or admired about Paul and got a lot of sweet feel good responses. I then had put them all over walls of our house for Paul to be able to see when he returned from helping Talia do some Christmas shopping. (which was just a plan to get him out of the house) I went all out & put streamers & Happy Birthday signs up! Sadly I was to excited to take pictures of the decorations. It was such a BLAST!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

This year Thanksgiving was spent with the Johnson family, we wanted to do something a little bit different- on Thanksgiving day we had the traditional feast & then we all loaded up in a 16 passenger van and made our way to California! The weekend was full of fun & laughter & many unforgettable memories. We got to see Shamu & huge pink walruses, killer whales & dolphins!

The next day we spent at Six Flags- now I must admit before I married Paul Johnson the man who lives for thrill & adrenalin rushes I was pretty much a big chicken who didn't really like to try dangerous & scary things, but since ive married into the Johnson fam where every one is brave and adventurous I am proud to say that I have become more tuff & brave & have done things I probably wouldn't normally do! I have loved it! :)
