About Me

Where to start? Life is good. The business is doing better than ever. Our house is just perfect for us...and it will only get better as we continue to remodel. Adam is amazing. He took his first steps on his 8 month birthday and continues to get stronger and stronger while getting to be more and more fun. He has such personality now. He is, for the most part, a very happy boy. There have been a few grumpy days, but it is all due to those nasty teeth trying to poke through :) Other than that we are just looking forward to our very busy summer coming up...Amy's baby shower (and the baby due on June 19th), Sara's wedding, Memorial Day weekend, Cedar Point (numerous times), Steve's wedding, bonfires, swimming in our future pool (we hope to get one by Memorial Day) and before I know it, volleyball will be in full swing. Right around that time Adam will be turning one...crazy! This summer will fly by.

Buying a house is a big pain in the a@$!!

Ok.  This is getting ridiculous.  The official closing date for the house was supposed to be way back on January 9th.  Key word: SUPPOSED.  First we found out that the IRS didn't o...

Going crazy!

Okay.  I did not think this would happen this fast....but I want this child to get out of me!!  I am at 32 weeks, so I could go anywhere from 5-10 weeks now.  It just does not help that...

Just a little bit more pressure for the summer.

Okay, volleyball is now an official fall sport in the state of Michigan.  Wow.  I did not see that coming so fast.  There is only one downfall for this and it is the fact that our baby ...

Moving right along!

Last night, Jeremy and I felt the baby kick for the first time.  It was so strange and amazing at the same time.  Well, it either punched or kicked me because I do not know what position the...
