Update

Ryan ended up going to Germany after all! It was a successfull trip that was filled with long hours, hard work and long flights! He enjoyed himself and says it's beautiful there!

I haven't posted in a while because I have been working my butt off on our house. So far I have painted our dining room, entry, office, hallway and half of the living room! We also installed new light fixtures in our dining room and entry way. I know, I know the brass and glass combo were really cool... but we had to dump them! :) It's been a lot of work, but enjoyable at times.

I'm really looking forward to our trip in July, we are going on a cruise to the Bahamas!!! We went on a cruise for our honeymoon and loved it so we decided to go again. It's a family trip meaning Ryan, myself, my Mom, sister's, Ben (Bekah's boyfriend), Patrick and his family(Mom's boyfriend). We can't wait!

Here are a few pictures.

FALSE...FALSE ALARM!

I just got the news the trip was cancelled and being rescheduled! So I ask myself...what am I learning through all this running around? My answer would be that I can be very flexible at times and that I also don't like to spend more money than I have too! For example: $600 on a passport that won't be used any time soon, $1300 on a new suite and attire for Ryan and about $200 on gas for all the running around I've had to do! Oh well, you only live once right! :)

FALSE ALARM!

As some of you may of heard Ryan and I were leaving for Europe tomorrow! Well....we got some news from his work informing us this is strickly a business trip and it would not be appropriate to bring the fam! I was really bummed at first but the more I got thinking about it I realized how crazy this trip would have been. It's a 10 day trip venturing into Germany, Italy and Norway, hoping from hotel to hotel and from one plane to another. Ryan leaves tomorrow so please be praying his travel is safe and they close the deal with the Italian, German and Norwegian Army! Keep in mind I hate being home alone so if anyone would like to hang out please give me a ring!

Toddler

Our little boy is definitely not a baby anymore, we have moved into the toddler stage! He is so much fun and is learning new things everyday! It amazes me how smart kids really are...especially mine! :) For example he watched the Letter Factory by Leap Frog two times and he learned what every letter sounds like. It got me thinking about how amazing that really is, he is only 18 months old, and then my next thought was I wonder how many kids above the age of 5 still don't know this? My guess is that it is higher than we think! What makes this so sad is that these poor kids aren't getting the attention and nurturing that they deserve. It makes me cherish everyday I am able to spend with Noah!
