Crafty Girls

Ok, so It seems like everytime I look at blogs, it seems like someone new has taken up a craft, or showing a new recipie, or something along those lines. Its really making me want to learn more things. I dont think I am a bad cook, but I do tend to make the same things over and over agian, because I know Rob likes them. So up until now, I have not really felt a need to go out of my comfort zone. It is not just cooking and baking, its Wood crafts, and scrapbooking, and card making, and everyhting! I have enjoyed doing these things in the past, I just have not done them a whole lot, and i have not done some things for quite some time. like scrapbooking. I really want to get all the pictures up until now of me and Rob, because once we have a baby, I think those pictures would be a priority, and Rob and I's would be put on a back burner. So my question for all of you, is how do you do it? how do you find the time, how do you get your ideas? and do you guys do it on your own, or do you have get togethers with your friends and family? I know I want to make some more wood things, like my GRINCH, I want to do "CARTER" and/or "FAMILY" and maybe the seasons, just something to display in our home. If anybody is interested in that, please let me know, and we will find a day and time, because those kinds of things are more fun together. :-)

Better Late Than Never

So I know that Christmas has come and gone, but I wanted to write a little about it, being that this blog is a journal of sorts. So with that said, Here is a short blurb about christmas. I was able to go to Rob's Familys house for Christmas Eve Brunch. Rob had to work again, so I went without him. I love his family so much, and they are all so great and welcoming. I am the luckies girl in the world to have such great in-laws. Later that night, Rob and I went over to my Mom's and had dinner with my family. When dinner was over, Rob and I got home and "Exchanged" gifts. Rob got a new snowboard, and all the things that go along with that, so he didnt really have anythingt open, since he picked everything out himself. I got a new memory card for my Camera, an iTunes gift card, Taylor's Swifts new CD, and a Nook. On christmas morning, we went back to my moms and had breakfast, and opened some presents. After all the presents, and breakfast, we went back up to Rob's parents and hung out with them, and his 2 brothers. Christmas was a lot of fun this year, and it was our first one as a married couple, so it is deffinantly one to remember!

New Years eve was pretty uneventful, Rob and I watched Batman, and then we were getting ready to call it a night really early, but Rob's Brother Scott text and said he was bored, so he came over, and we hung out (hung out meaning, I fell asleep on the living room floor) until Rob woke me up about a minute to midnight. I said Happy New Years, gave Rob a kissed, and went to bed. Scott stayed the night, and I am not even sure what time they went to bed, but I was Asleep when Rob came to bed. LOL. Im glad Scott came over, because I was feeling pretty boring, and him hanging out with Rob made me feel a little better. LOL

Since the Holidays, We havent really been up to too much. Mostly working. I posted one or two posts ago about my Surgery, and after talking it over with Rob, we have put it off until early March. So I get a few more months to worry about it, but it will be so worth it, and I am glad we decided to put it off until then. The Other, and most exciting thing that is going on with us, is that we are having fun (albeit, its a little stressful) but we are going back east!! We finally got out airfair for our trip, and things are starting to feel real! Our plan is to go back east, and go to Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, and New York! We are going to a baseball in each city, while spending most of our time in New York. The day I am really excited about is June 15th (we are leaving June 7th and coming home June 21st) June 15th is Broadway day. We are going to go see WICKED!! ON BROADWAY! I also want to go to New Jersey and get some dessert from Buddy, from TLC's Cake Boss. I love that show, and I Think it would be a great day for dessert, and a perfect addition to wicked. I mean, What better way to spend your 25th Birthday!! So Im just hoping the next few months goes by really quickly and we can go on our trip!
