We're Engaged

Christmas morning Norm came over to open presents at my apartment. I had a stocking hung for both of us and when I was finished opening all my stocking stuffers, I turned the stocking upside down to sadly say I guess I'm done unwrapping, meanwhile Norm still had a few more presents left unwrapped. Norm stops what he's doing and turns to me and says "What about this present?" Holding up the ring in a box. He Then asked "Will You Marry Me?" Of Course, I said Yes!! The Best Christmas Ever!!!

Dad's Surprise Birthday Party 12/18

My Christmas Tree

After many, many, many hours of shopping for a Christmas Tree!! I couldn't believe the cost of fake trees. I struggled between getting a real tree or a fake tree this year. I decided it would be much easier to get a fake tree and not have to worry about the needles everywhere, buying another tree next year, etc . . . After all the hassle, I Love the tree I brought home!! Thanks to Norm for all of his help.

Our Adventure to Mikado

My Suprise Birthday at P.J. Wellihan's

This photo was taken at My "Surprise" Birthday dinner which was at P.J. Wellihan's. My family and Norm decided to keep a little secret from me and plan a "Surprise" Party for me. Norm, did a great job not telling me what was going on or that my family was going to be there waiting for us to arrive. So my family tells the hostess, that this is a surprise they ask for a table of 8 with only 6 in their group, knowing that Norm and I will be arriving shortly. Dad makes it clear to the hostess that this is a surprise and that a couple will be walking in any minute and asking for a table for 2, because little did I know, Norm was taking me out to dinner. Well, the funny thing about this is the hostess says oh a table for 8? At that point Norm wanted to slap her, but he knew he had to keep calm. Thank goodness, I was behind Norm walking in and didn't even realize she said a table for 8?
"SURPRISE"

Melanie & Mike's Wedding

My niece Audrey and I at my sister (Melanie's) wedding. June 23, 2007. My niece is a twin her sister is Alyssa. I cannot pick a favorite because I love both the girls, but Audrey is my girl. When I go to my Sister (Mandy's) house Audrey's face lights up and extends her arms out for me to pick her up! I am so thankful to have such healthy beautiful girls in my life. I truly enjoy spending time with them, and watching them grow older day by day. When I am feeling down or having a rough day, all I need to do is spend a few minutes with the girls and they bring a smile to my face and fill my heart with such joy!!
