A Few Letters

Below are a few letters I have been meaning to send out, but because of lack of address and or stamps I haven't...

Dear Costco,
Today I went in to get Paper Towels and a ready made lasagna and left with $79 less in my checking account.  How do I ALWAYS find things I need to buy there?

Until next paycheck,
Janelle

Dear Christmas Haters club,
  After being a member for 27 years, I am sorry to say, I have officially jumped on the Christmas Ban wagon.  I will be fa-la-laing and Rocking around the tree a lot this year!

Your trader,
Janelle

Dear Husband,
  There isn't much that you won't do for me.  I know that sometimes may think I don't notice or appreciate but I am taking notes.  You're awesome and I am pretty pumped you picked me as your wife.

Your biggest fan,
Janelle

Dear Society,

I apologize for carrying my weight in the stomach region. If you ask me one more time if I am pregnant, I am going to punch you in the face. Keep to yourselves or maybe just ask me about the weather instead.

Love, not so much,
Janelle



Dear People with chicken feathers in their hair,
  Why on earth is that popular? You are not cool, nor will I be doing that.  I will save my money thanks.

Sincerely,
Janelle

Dear Sherman,
  Every day you crack me up with your personality.  I am glad you ran away from your first home and found us.  Thank you for showing Jeff and I how to not take life so seriously.

Your adopted mother,
Janelle

Dear December,
  You are full to the brim with parties, cookie baking, present wrapping etc.  Don't go by too fast ok? 
Thanks!
Janelle

Dear Wedding Photographers,
  The proofs are amazing.  Now, I just need to figure out how to stick all 500 pictures in one album!  I am not sure how I will EVER choose, but I am so glad I have a ton to choose from.

Thanks for making my week,
Janelle

Two Month Stats

So we have a lot of friends who have babies... by a lot, I mean a TON!  We always get to read their baby's stats month to month.  Since we don't have babies, unless you count Sherman, I thought I would provide you with our 2 month married stats. hahaha

How long have you been married: 2 months today.  Almost as long as most celebrities!

Best part: Not having to plan a wedding and getting to just be a family in the evenings

Most Challenging part: Getting Jeff to keep his ring on his finger!!

Looking forward to: Getting our wedding photos someday.  All we have seen are the few on the blog. 

Marriage Advice to single people: No matter how many times you have the "splitting money" talk with your future spouse, you will most likely have problems at the beginning.

A Woman of Leisure

Two months... Two months!!!  Where did the time go?  I went from waiting around for what seemed like a lifetime for our wedding to being married TWO MONTHS!!! 

I apologize for the lack of posts since we have been hitched.  I have had two people in the past 48 hours ask about our blog.  Glad to know we have fans. haha  Honestly, I am struggling with what to blog.  Let's face it, the wedding is over, you have seen 1,000 pictures of Sherman and we have no cute kid to show off.  I have been thinking to myself "what do people even have to read?!"  I will find something, and I am sure it will be super entertaining. hahaha

Currently I am just working 2 days a week.  It is just a temp. situation until I find something I want to do.  I like to tell people I am a woman of leisure.  It sounds cool and ritzy if you ask me! haha

Being off three days a week has keep me busy though... Wednesday's I pick up Cooper (Jodi's son) from Day care and we have a couple hour play date!  I am teaching confirmation at our church, cleaning the house, doing the laundry etc.  also to say I am addicted to "pinterest" is an understatement. This website is great!  It has been giving me some great ideas for presents, DIY etc. 

Finally, I am going to start sewing!  YUP, sewing!  I need a hobby to fill my wedding planning.  Once I actually get my machine, I will be sewing like mad!  haha  If you have a request, let me know.. =)  I will make sure to post pictures of my finished products.

And no post is complete without a picture.  Recently I went to watch my oldest niece Lily run a cross country meet here in Indy.  Here we are at the end of the race.  I must say, these are two of the 4 most beautiful girls ever :)

So here is the beginning of me starting to blog again.  Sorry again for being MIA for the past two months.
