A Year in Review-Wednesday's Walk

This sure has been by far the hardest, craziest, most challenging year of my life. I thought to celebrate the fact that we will be moving soon (closer to our families) and my new job !! I would reflect on the fun times of the past year.

We gained a family member! My beautiful niece Lorelei Lynette was born and has brought so much love and joy into our lives!

Josh's family and I went on a wonderful Christmas Cruise to the Caribbean and it was fabulous and I got to accomplish one of my life list items of swimming with dolphins.

The Steelers won the Superbowl....Josh was excited!!

Lauren (the little sister) experienced her first Cleveland Indians Game!

and best of all we survived!!! Now all we have to do is survive a vacation in Vegas and a 6 hour move and we can start our new life back in Ohio with our friends and families!!!

Good News....finally!

I got a new job!!!!!!! Sorry, I have been holding that in for awhile now. We are moving back to Ohio and are so excited about it. We will be very close to Josh's family and not too far from my family. Words can not express how excited I am. On the flip side, I am also scared, nervous and very anxious about the whole thing. Next weekend, my mom and I are going to go look for a place for us to live. Then we leave for our previously planned vacation to Las Vegas (beyond excited) then we come back and BAM! we move and I start my new job. I know it will be super crazy and hectic but I can not wait.

My new job is at a community college which I think I will enjoy and will open lots of new opportunities for me and Josh will be going back to school (and maybe I will be too!) YAY!

Well, I will keep updating as new stuff happens, but I have to get busy packing up our apartment!

Love,

I'm here...I promise

I know..it has been quite some time since I have posted. I had an extended stay in Ohio for some interviews and for some reason I can't post at my Momma's house. I had a really great time and got to see all the siblings and my niece and just spend some fun down time with the family. I have a lot of fun pictures to post but my computer is currently at Staples attempting to be fixed since it suddenly lost sound awhile back so I am borrowing Josh's while he is at work to post this. I have already been rejected from one of the schools I interviewed with so that is beyond frustrating. And right now, I am just physically and emotionally exhausted but hope to be back soon with positive energy and good news. Until then...keep your fingers crossed for me.

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday so I am in Ohio visiting with the family with plans of going to the parade, having a bbq at my mom's and making some smores on the fire tonight. I hope you all enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday Babe!

Well today is Josh's 26th birthday so I thought I would share some fun facts and fun pictures of the birthday boy.

He eats pickles on his meatball subs (so gross)

He is left handed

He eats ice cream by putting it in a glass and pours milk over it

He doesn't like chocolate (there is something wrong with him)

He could eat cereal for all meals, everyday

He loves the Pittsburgh Steelers!

and was very surprised today when his parents sent him golf clubs today...

So all in all I think he had a great birthday, full of fun surprises, lasagna and DQ Ice cream cake!

Happy Birthday babe, I love you very much!
