{MiSs yOu}

My mom, Trent and I are flying out to South Carolina to see Jonathan graduate from boot camp! I can not wait to see the changes basic training makes... We just can't wait to see him! Believe it or not, as quiet as Jonathan is, we definitely notice him gone. He has such a fun personality and you always know when he is in the room, even when he doesn't say a word. Having him gone has made such a difference in everyday life. When I see anyone in uniform, it has an entirely different feeling. The national anthem played at the Olympics on TV has such an emotional effect. I think I speak for my whole family when I say that a new respect has been engraved in all of us, thanks to Jonathan. We miss you little brother!

Blake and I have been working so hard to get this house up for sale. Blake's aunt Cathy is a realator for the Franklin Group so she has been giving us those much needed tips to make our house look amazing.
Blake went around the entire house and patched up the little nail holes we weren't using and gave some rooms a bit of fresh paint. I worked hard on 'phasing' the house. Cathy suggested that we move out some furniture to open some rooms up. We moved out our love seat leaving a huge room with only our couch and a big red chair in it's place. I cleared the kitchen counter of the canisters and anything else that gave it personality ha ha. One of my favorite things about our kitchen was the amount of personal touch the fridge had. Now, all of the cute magnents, pictures and baby announements are gone!
Now that we finally have the house up for sale, it looks fabulous! I love how rediculously clean everything is. I know this house will sale fast because Blake's brother, Ben, did an amazing job fixing the place up when they bought it and his cute wifey, Kendra, used her skills in interior design to pick great colors to paint each room.

{ Wuv... Twu Wuv}

HaPpY VaLeNtInE's DaY!!!
This is our first Valentine's day as a married couple! And to celebrate, Blake took me to get a couples massege! It was heavenly! Then we went to dinner at my fav resaurant the Maccaroni Grill. Blake also was so so sweet and surprised me with flowers at work!!
I love you honey!








Oh! I almost left out the best part. This year, I made Blake a naughty candy poster and tried to embarrass him at work by letting everyone see him receive it ;)
The poster may be a little too naughty to post what it said, but I will list the candy bars included and you can fill in the blanks with imagination....
.........100 Grand.......... Nut Roll............. Snickers............. Look.....big hunk...... sugar daddy......... take 5............... skor........... peanuts............ Surgar babies.......Etc....
I would say he rather enjoyed his very blingy naughty poster. ( Blingy= it had glitter)

WaTeR FiGhT!!!

So after Blake and I ate a really delicious meal that I cooked, we washed the dishes together. I, so very nicely, handed him a plate to dry and a little bit of water may or may not have been smeared all over his face.... After his many many empty threats, I thought for sure that was as far as it would go. WHY?! Why would I second guess blake's competitive-ness?! Not only did he throw a whole cup of water at me, he threw the dog bowel of water in my face! I was only defending myself with the sink hose and he got scared, like a sissy la la, and decided to throw dog water in me face! So rude! Needless to say Blake won.... but only because he cheated.




That's right, clean up your mess! hee hee :)
