Day 5

Today I'm supposed to share a picture of someplace I've been. We visited the Riviera Maya, Mexico for our honeymoon, and one of the days we went on an excursion trip to Chichen Itza. It was something else. I'm not typically into that sort of thing, but this was definitely worth the bus ride!

Crazy Weekend

We had a fun-fill crazy weekend! By Sunday night, we were all exhausted! We had a surprise visit from Jess & Nick Friday night. They joined us on our date night to the Chocolate Lover's Fantasy! OMG! It was heaven! We enjoyed some delicious desserts! The chocolate ganache cake was my favorite! Jess & Nick headed for home Saturday afternoon after some quality time with Miss D. We hadn't seen them since Christmas, so it was sooo fun to spend a little time with them. Jess is all baby...she's getting that look that she's smuggling a basketball under her shirt! It's adorable!

We spent the rest of Saturday preparing the food for the big game. Craig made a trip to Sams, and I headed to HyVee after Delaney went to bed. Sunday, we got up and started getting ready. We had a house-full for the game. It was a lot of fun. All but two of our guests came from Omaha, which was so nice since we don't see them all that much! I'm a little nervous for Delaney's birthday party, since we will be doubling the amount of people...it will all work out, I'm sure!

Of course, the biggest news of the weekend is that my team won the Super Bowl! Go Packers! I'm not as boisterous as my dad & brother, but I was totally stoked that they pulled it off. It got a little hairy there in the second half, but it all worked out in the end! Craig has already started the countdown to next season...

Yesterday, we got some very sad news. Our 19-year-old neighbor, Lisa, was found dead Saturday night here in Lincoln. There are a lot of unanswered questions as to what happened. We visited with her dad last night, and our hearts go out to him. Please keep this entire family in your prayers, as they could really use them right now.

Day 4

Today is a day to share with you a habit I wish I didn't have. I don't know what picture to post for this, so I'll just spill it. My most recent annoying habit has been eating more than I should/need. It seems like all I do is eat. I'm constantly hungry. It's ridiculous! My clothes aren't enjoying this habit either. It's no fun! I have always been a person who enjoys eating. I live to eat, not eat to live. Recently though, it has gotten a little out of hand! I'm working on this! I think portion control is the key with me!

Day 3

I'm supposed to post a picture of my childhood, but I think this is better. This is a slideshow Craig and I put together for our wedding. You will see childhood photos of both of us! Enjoy!

Day 2

Today I'm supposed to tell you the meaning behind our blog name. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I changed it after we got married to something I thought would stick for a while. I use our blog to write about the big events going on with us as well as the every day occurrences. It's nothing special, but it's us! First the "us" was just Craig and me. Then, it was Craig, Izzy, and me. Now with Delaney, it's all four of us! It keeps growing as does our family!

In other news, Craig and I have planned our Valentine's Day outing. We're going to celebrate a little early and go the Chocolate Lover's Fantasy at Embassy Suites Friday night. We went a couple years ago, and it was wonderful. A perfect little outing for us since we both love dessert! Delaney will spend a little quality time with her Uncle Chip and Lauren! I'm looking forward to it!

Day 1

I'm trying a little game going around the blog world. I'm sure I won't hit every day, but I'll do every post. It's 30 days of structured posts. Of course, I'll thrown in my usual random posts as well! The first day's instruction is to post a recent picture of myself along with 15 interesting facts about myself. I'll use the term "interesting" very loosely...
This picture is from a couple weeks ago, but it is the last picture I have of myself. I figured since it is Super Bowl week, Delaney & I can show our Packer Pride!

1. I married my high school sweetheart.
2. I got pregnant with Delaney our first month of trying...we are so blessed/lucky!
3. I bought my uncle's house, which is finally starting to feel like our home instead of theirs.
4. I'm a perpetual klutz...I'm 27 and I've had 4 broken bones!
5. I've never had a speeding ticket or been in an accident when I was driving! (knock on wood)
6. I often wish I would have become a teacher. I think that's job that is a great gig!
   
7. I played piano all through my childhood, competed in competitions with it, and even performed at the Jocelyn Art Museum in Omaha. I really miss it!
8. I was on the Dance Team in high school. I took Dance lessons all through elementary school. I cannot wait for Delaney to be old enough for Dance Class. She loves to dance!
9. I have a SERIOUS sweet tooth! It's the reason for my too tight jeans!
10. I love to bake, not cook! I think it would be so fun to have my own bakery...
11. I also love to plan events/parties! I would love this to be my job...
12. Contrary to my previous statements, I actually like my job. It's not something I ever thought I would do, and most people have no clue what I do!
    
13. As much as I love Delaney, I am so not ready for another one!
14. I miss the small town life that I grew up in, but I love Lincoln!
15. I have a lot of friends that happen to be guys, and a small group of girl friends that I don't see all that often!
    

Dancing Fools

We have been doing a lot of dancing around here lately! Delaney loves music, and she loves to shake her booty! She loves it! She's get to going, and then just laughs. It's so fun! So the evenings these days are spent with some serious tunes cranked and Craig and I making complete fools of ourselves. I was downloading some pictures when Craig's favorite song of late came on, so I had to snap a few pictures! It's the Black Eyed Peas new one...so if you're coming to our Super Bowl party you'll probably get to see this live at halftime!
