We had a fun weekend. Our sister and niece came to visit. We celebrated Neveah's 1st birthday.

It has been a busy two weeks! Jazzy is quite a bit of fun! We picked her up from Roanoke Rapids, NC. It was a meeting point for us and another couple that was also adopting a little one that same day. Jazzy was handed to me right away. She stayed close. She was a little nervous, I could tell. I was so emotional. I cried when the lady brought her over to me and put her straight into my arms. We all played for a bit. She had to say good-bye to a sister of hers. She adapted very well to us since we picked her up. She already knows who her Mommy and Daddy are. She whines when either one of us leave her sight. She's our baby. I have some pictures I'll share with you. When we first picked her up, she was 5.8 lb. and now, in two weeks, she's put on almost a whole whopping pound! She had her first vet visit with us yesterday. She weighed in at 6.6 lb. She loves squeaky toys. If it doesn't have sound, it doesn't have her attention. She's crazy. After her power naps, she takes off in laps around the apartment. It's so funny. We bought her two toys from a local convenient store and spent about ten dollars. We came home and she would rather play with a plastic water bottle for three hours! Silly girl. Here are a few pics to glance at. I'll be posting again here soon. It's just been a bit hectic around here. I'm sure you understand.

A Weekend in Celebration

The Baby Shower was a success! Chelsea had a wonderful day. She went out for the day, watched a movie and hung out with her friend while Ashley and I decorated and got things Just Right for her. We had fun decorating and getting ready for her. Baby Kenzie got some really cute things on Sunday. Everyone is anxious for her to be born. Chelsea, if you read this...Thank You for giving me this opportunity to help throw this shower for you and your baby girl.

The baby shower had a great turnout. There were about 15 people there. I just wanted to share with you the first baby shower I've ever helped throw.

Kissing in the New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Ramses and I had a great New Years. We visited both sets of parents on New Year's Eve and then came home to watch the ball drop. We toasted to the upcoming year and danced with each other as Times Square was filled with excitement after the massive crystal ball reached the end of the countdown. It was a really good First New Years with my Hubby. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Ramses and I traveled to Jacksonville, NC over the weekend. We had a great time! We were able to spend some time with Stacey, Brian, and Neveah. We wanted to make a special trip down there to see the family. Brian will be leaving, December 31st, for Iraq. They didn't get to visit us up here in Virginia for Christmas because of his deployment. So, we decided to pack up our stuff and head down there for a day. It was so nice. We just ask you to please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He will miss his daughter's first birthday and second Christmas. Beautiful Baby Girl

O so Happy!

My niece and I both love the camera!!!

My Weekend of Open House...

2008-11-09T23:10:00.006-05:00

This past weekend was Hallmark's Open House! We get to dress all up and try to make each customer happy. They present us with about 10 coupons at one time and have every intention on using all of them at the same time....

Despite all of the coupons and having to remember about 30 in-store promotions, it was a success. Things went well and for it being my fourth time doing this, I felt pretty good about it. Don't get me wrong, it can be intimidating but it was alright. Here's a picure of the Hallmark Hotties during Open House, Friday night.

Saturday was my nephew's last soccer game...and they won 3 to 1! Adrian was goalie for the first time too. It was pouring rain all day long and he was soaked and cold. But he was the best goalie that day!

Ramses and I got to see our niece over the weekend too...Neveah is such a happy baby. I have to show off a picture!

We had a great weekend, even though I had to work. I got to hold my niece that I don't get to see that often and see two of my nephews.

Registration starts soon! I get to register for my Spring semester on Tuesday. I'm signing up for five classes next semester. I'm so excited!
