My Husband

There is not a song or poem perfect enough to express my love for my husband.
God has blessed my life when He brought Dan and I together. He is so supportive with everything I do and when I am weak, I know that he will be there to cheer me up. There is no one else like him and I am so proud... SO PROUD to say he is my husband.
Today while listening to Stephano sing (on American Idol), he came up to me, took my hand and started dancing with me! I don't know why but I just started to cry happy tears. He constantly surprises me.
There is no rhyme or reason for the things he does to show me he loves me, he just does... and that is the greatest gift of all.

"Every good and perfect thing comes from God"
-Amen!-

Love,
Jessica

Tahlia's day of silliness!

Today Tahlia had a lot of daddy time. She only took a 20min nap with grandpa on their walk home from the park. When daddy came to get her, she was re energized so they took a walk to Stein G&G.... did she nap?- NOPE!  Then Dan decided they could have fun together fixing the garden. She had so much fun playing in the dirt! She found her first worm too. Dan says she played with the worm for about 20min before... you guessed it!- She was going to put the worm in her mouth!! Dan said that once the worm touched her lip, she made a funny face and threw it down :)

After I got home from school, I made spaghetti. While we were eating, Dan and I were talking about the wonderful politics of WI. One moment I looked over and couldn't believe my eyes! Tahlia was fast asleep! I quick ran to Dan's car to get the camera and took the pictures of Tahlia sleeping IN her spaghetti! After about 15min, she finally "woke up" and as if she never went to sleep, continued to eat. The funny part was, I am pretty positive she was eating in her sleep before she realized it! You gotta watch the video! Completely hilarious!!

Big change pt2

In light of helping others I donated my hair!!!

Before Front

Before Back

After front

After Back! :)

I absolutely LOVE my new look! Its so light and fresh!! I also raised $100 in pledges for
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and Penfield Children's Center.
I hope my hair grows back next year so I can do it again :)

Big change

...And this is bigger then Obama's "change''! lol

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything on here. Dan and I have been working hard to get ahead in life (going to school, working, paying off bills left and right).
I have been taking plenty of pictures and videos of Tahlia and taking note of all the new things she can do. As soon as this crazy week is over, I should have more time to update you all.

On to the BIG CHANGE!
I wish I can say things have changed on the job-front.... but nothing yet.
I kind of want it to be a suprise so your clue is: I will have a very different look.

I cannot wait to post a picture of that. And I should get around to that tomorrow so I wont keep you hanging for too long :)

I hope everyone is having a blessed day!

March is coming to an end

March 13th, Tahlia graduated to her toddler bed! She doesnt really fall out.
And our happy little girl feels like a million bucks... you can just tell by the smile on her face :)

There she is, sleeping in her big girl bed!

Our silly girl put this on her own hand and started playing with it.

Getting bigger every time I look around!



Yes, the mess behind her is hers. and yes, that smile melts my heart... its easy to forgive her :)



We check in on her before we go to bed. One night, this is what we found. :)

St. Patricks Day

 

The Bagpiper

I got my Guinness!

I got my husband!

We got the band.

Our drinks to start the night



First St. Patty's day as husband and wife :)



Sorry dude, you wear the costume, you should just accept the fact people will take pictures with you! lol

Went to Mad Dog later on

The ladies

The men

Spent and drained

This is the mood in our home on this sunny, cool day.
We were hopeful Dan would get one of the jobs that opened up at his Armory, but no such luck. This is Dan's second year actively searching for a career or a job with the Army and with every turn-down, the hope drifts further and further away in our hearts. We are still thankful he actually HAS a job and that it is just enough (some weeks) to get us by. We are thankful for many things we have in our lives and for our families. There is just this knot in my throat that cant just go away. The fact that this job opportunity is not at our grasp is one more hope that has been thrown away. Our hope to live comfortably enough to start a savings account. Our hope to work up instead of feeling like we are on this treadmill. Our hope to move on and buy that house we have been looking at is a little further today.
We are a faithful family, I swear... its just times like this where we need prayer because its times like this where faith is hard to hold onto.

Thank you for your prayers.
