Wow today was crazy busy, yet fun. I had a list mile high of things i wanted to get done before family came over for the holidays and we actually got everything done that i wanted.

All that is left is the wrapping of the gifts. I couldn’t even list all the things we have done today… it’s a lot and it makes me so happy! Now i can just relax tomorrow. I love to wrap so I'm really looking forward to it.

What i am most relieved over is that we got all the homemade gifts made FINALLY!!! Makes me soooo happy! Now i just hope everyone likes their gifts!

Our living room:

We made this, i love it! Yes it is a branch with knobs on it. All these stockings i made myself.

Anabel’s stocking:

Abby’s stocking (I made today)

I painted this shelf and i made the block ‘joy’ letters.

Just got the wall hanging to the right from our dear friends. I ‘heart’ it :) Thank you!

Our dinning room:

Some pics i made.

Some more decorations we made:

I made both of these.

This is made out of small mirrors

      This one is Bob’s. Very cool, very industrial, hehe

Today 4 years ago my life changed.

When a wonderful man entered it.

He swept me off my feet.

Today 4 years ago i was going shopping. Trying pretty much everything in the store on, in hopes to find something nice for my very first date. Talk about nervous! And i couldn’t find anything i liked. I did buy something and wore it but eh, it wasn’t my favorite and years later i found out Bob didn’t really like it either LOL. He told me he still thought i was beautiful though.

Though i was nervous i was still on cloud nine that someone (especially so handsome ^_^ ) actually asked me out! Talk about a major wow!

The Christmas season i find myself reminiscing about my first heart throb, my first first date, my first boy friend, my Bobby.

4 years ago today on the weekend of the 17th, I remember it well. Bob and his family had came over to my sisters house were i was living to hang out. We played Pictionary and Jess his sister and Bob were on a team with me. I had previously been warned that Bob would probably ask me out that night, which i was having a hard time believing. We all had a lot of fun, everyone was saying their goodbyes and i was feeling slightly nervous and disappointed because i knew surely he wasn’t going to ask me out, there was no way… see he was leaving.

But then, i noticed Bob hanging back and he let the rest of his family to go the car, him standing there looking nervous. Once his family was out of the house he turned to me and asked me if i would maybe want to go out and do something with him sometime (right in front of my brother and sister)

And that was the beginning

Then a few days later (would have been today, 4 years ago) He called me and confirmed a date to take me out which was Friday the 22nd.

Our first date was to see Night At The Museum and to Red Robins. The surprise was that both our shy selves actually talked to each other.

Back at work my co-workers were letting me know that if he asked me out again I was officially his girlfriend which seemed so pleasantly odd (if you were in my head you would understand why that seemed odd to me).

Then he called on Christmas morning just to talk to me and oh how i was pleased. Then he also talked to my brother in-law on the phone, where my brother invited Bob to come along with us to my family’s family Christmas. I was sitting there freaking out, wondering if that was to bold of a question for my brother to ask and wondering if Bob would even want to go. To my relief Bob seemed to really want to come and meet my family. Haaa good memories. I love sitting and replaying them in my mind.

I am so in love with this man :)

12-13-10 

Today has been so weird! Me and hubby woke up before both girls. Bob forgot to set the alarm so we woke up to late to get ready for church, which was a bummer! I don’t like missing.

Then when the girls were up we started working on breakfast. Bob made sausages and fried apples, while i made the eggs. It was good breakfast .

I’m not sure when it happened but some did happen because the day just starting feeling weird, for both me and Bob. Not one certain was going wrong, we both just felt weird… not a good weird. It was hard to do anything productive!

I know the day turn major south when Bob tried to turn on the Bears game and the direct tv wasn’t working. (they are suppose to come and fix it tomorrow) We did manage to get the internet hooked up to our tv and Bob found a website to watch the game on…. but then our internet slowed and it was pointless to try and watch it cause it kept pausing and skipping… boo for that!

Bob did manage to get some wood cut and i traced the outline for the nesting puzzle animals we are making the kids for Christmas. Bob has to cut them out at school cause the have the right kind of saw there.

Then tonight i made dinner and we sat down to watch the other half of Star was III…. we had started it last night but got to tired.

Ooooo Abby just fell asleep next to me, watching me type! YAYS for that…. it’s been very hard getting her to fall asleep…. when all else fails, pull out the laptop LOL

Haaa i better go, still have some ironing to do before i go to bed!

Night y’all!

Making breadsticks tonight… the way the actually tell you to make them. Before i always just rolled it out like pizza then once it was cooked, cut them into sticks. This time I'm following the recipe i found, were you actually shape them into stick. It should be fun!

I keep having dreams about my Anabel were she is like 4 or 5. Both dreams her hair is up in two braided buns, one of each side of her head like pig tails or that girl in Star Wars. The first one we were trying on pretty dresses and shoes. Last night i dreamed she was in the a bright red shirt, blue jeans rolled up into shorts with tall black cow boy boots. We are out on a farm and she has a play shovel and she is trying to dig. It was cute until i found her eating fertilizer and i freaked and ran inside to rinse out her mouth LOL

I know i dreamed that because Anabel loves to eat weird things. o.0

Dirt,  rocks and ladybugs are on the top of her list but yesterday…. See i have a Scentsy  pot and since it hasn’t been on the wax was hard but i found Anabel clawing it with her nail. I stopped her but i didn’t realize she had some in her hands until she shoved it into her mouth. I told ‘eww yucky! spit it out’ and she smiles and goes ‘mmm YUMMY!’ and continues to say that over and over again. I had to move the scentsy because she kept wanting to go back. After i moved the pot i found her literally licking the floor o.0 because there was some wax crumbs. OH MY! That is so weird! LOL She is crazy lol!

We had breakfast for dinner tonight. This is a look at Bob’s plate :)

Of course since I'm a picky eater i didn’t do all this. I did have strawberries and whipped cream on my pancakes though. It was yummy!

It looks worse in person! >_>

Finally finished braiding the wire that is holding up the hanging candle holders that we made.

This is a crappy picture but this is our tree this year. We cut it down in our Dads field. I call it a ‘wild’ tree!

Here is some pics of our homemade ornaments.

On the left is Bob’s, right is one i made when i found out i was preggo with Abby

The rest are ones I made.

I still have two more to make this year and Bob has three to make, lol, we are behind.

A little bit ago i made some banana nut bread. First time ever! Looks good and taste good. I’m happy!

Anabel has this ‘touch and feel’ book, it has cotton, fur, cardboard stuff like that in it.  This morning i saw Anabel take her dolls hand and she was rubbing it over each of the different things on each page. So adorable!

Talk about a huggie, kissy girl! I get so many hugs, rubs and kisses through out the day from my Bell and so does Abby. I’m so glad she is a cuddle bug! I love it :)

Last night i started getting a sore throat. Went to bed, but Abby didn’t want to sleep.

All night should would not let me lay her in her bed where she normally sleeps with out throw a fit. I was so tired and felt sick, and even more tired because i had to hold her all night. Some time during the night she threw up like I've never seen, seemed like it had to be everything she had in her little stomach but i don’t know. Weird thing is she doesn’t have a fever and doesn’t act sick. I think all of this is because of teething.

She decided to sleep and let me lay her beside me this morning… I thought i was finally going to get sleep but then i heard Anabel fussing on the monitor…. boo for that! LOL That’s being a mom, got to do what you got to do even if you feel like crap. I thank God for giving adequate strength to do the job.

I just hope my day goes good and this sore throat doesn’t turn into something ugly.

Abby is still sleeping and she looks so beautiful!

Another odd thing is usually Abby wants to binky all night, but last night she hardly took it… still probably the teeth thing.
