Funny confirmation of the day

Scott filled out our "about us" section on theknot.com yesterday. One of the items he mentioned I love is reality TV. I know this statement is completely true, but it did not hit me just HOW true it was until I looked at my weekly DVR list. It consists of: The real housewives of ANY city, the bachelorette, the hills, the city, so you think you can dance, top chef, bethenny getting married, and say yes to the dress. I am officially a reality show junkie. I need some suggestions from my brother. I kittysat this weekend and watched "mysteries of the smithsonian" and was interested in watching "the universe according to Stephen Hawking" among many other educational shows that he DVR's.......... My brain is going to turn into mush! HELP!!!!!!

This guy is amazing!

Go to google images and type in George Vlosich III
There was an article about him online and he has been doing etch a sketch art since he was little.
What a unique talent!!!!

Back in Virginny

I am officially back in Virginia and Scott is now a resident of the state of Indiana. I miss him like crazy! I have a new laptop that I LOVE and we skype and talk on the phone, but it doesn't compare to sitting next to each other watching TV or eating dinner across the table from one another :-(

Wedding planning is going great...... I have a dress, it looks something like this:

and a reception site, photographer, and soon will decide on a DJ. I am having so much fun planning and it's everything I always thought it would be :-)

I went to the beach last night and met up with Matt, Amanda, and Callie. Amanda had a volleyball game and Matt and I took Callie to the playground. She was interested for a while and then, as my brother said "like a baby seaturtle", she found her way to the ocean. She walked slowly through the sand while maintaining her balance on the new turf. When she got within sight of the water, she made a beeline. She splashed around with Matt for a little while, then Amanda came and joined us, took Callie's clothes off, and she splashed away in just her diaper. I will have to post pictures when I get them from off their camera. Then, while Amanda was playing, Matt put Callie up on the boardwalk and she walked along like it was a tightrope. There are fabulous pictures and video of that as well. I think she will be going to cheer for Amanda on a weekly basis!

A month of celebrations, love, and relaxation

What a month this has been! 2 vacations to the beach, 2 weddings, a week of amazing graduation festivities, and Scott and I got Engaged, have set a date, and booked the church! Hopefully by this evening we will have a reception venue and photographer in mind as well. I have so many pictures from this past month I think my blog might freeze up if I try to load them! I'll do it a little at a time.
A few items to discuss:
1. Logan is still in the hospital, doing well, but still fighting so your continued prayers are very appreciated!
2. Callie just gets cuter every day and is snuggly and funny and becoming a little copy cat. I realized the other night that our wedding is going to be a week before her 2nd birthday so I may be flying from the Honeymoon back to Va Beach to celebrate before officially moving to Indy ;-)
3. I have to say a million thanks to my mom and dad who are doing a lot of legwork for our wedding today! I could not plan this wedding from afar without them. I promise once we get Scott out to IN I will have all the time in the world to come home and we can do all the fun stuff together!!!!

In one hour I take Scott to go have surgery on his knee. He retore his medial meniscus and wanted to have the surgery done by the surgeon he knows here. I get to play nurse the next few days since it's easier for him to stay here than crutch up to his 3rd floor apartment. He already has his office set up in the living room for the next few days :-) Then, a week from today we get the moving truck and start packing up to leave on Thursday for IN.

May has been a wonderfully full month :-)
Off to the hospital.........................

Prayer Request

Everyone who’s reading this, please say some prayers over the next few days/weeks for my Cousin’s son Logan. He turned one the beginning of December and was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. After a long 4 months of waiting for test results, fighting infections, and finding a bone marrow match, he was admitted yesterday evening to MCV in Richmond for 7-10 days of chemotherapy to be followed by a bone marrow transplant. Please include little Logan and my family in your prayers.

Leavin'....on a Midnight Train to Indy

Scott and I went to Indianapolis this weekend to find a place for Scott to live for the next 3 years while he's in residency. We starting the day off with two super fratty run down places asking WAY too much just because of the location. After seeing those two and some of the more scary southern streets, we found a keeper. The house does have a smaller kitchen than I am use to and don't even get me started on the lack of closet space :-) Luckily, we'll have a huge basement that I will be putting shelves in and rotating my clothes out seasonally. I'm already working on bags to give away to Goodwill in preparation for my move out there when the time comes ;-) The house has a detached garage, a sunroom, and a covered back with a fenced in back yard for our imaginary puppy that I think will appear within the next year.

The weekend was a huge success. We arrived at 3:30 Friday afternoon and signed the lease at 2:00 Saturday. It was perfect! Scott and I were able to explore the Broad Ripple area where the house is located, went out with Isaiah (Scott's friend from college and our gracious host for the weekend) and his friends, went to College Park Church which was fabulous, cooked lunch and dinner, watched movies, played cards, and explored the downtown area all before we left at 6:00 on Monday.

Callie Mae Turns One

I feel like just yesterday I started this blog in anticipating of all the fun and exciting events of 2009. One of my favorite posts was when Callie was born on April 8th :-) We were all able to celebrate her first birthday together this year- Mom, Dad, Don, Donna, Me, Scott, and Amanda's friends Ginny and Harry. Even the Schumachers were able to sing Happy Birthday and have cake and ice cream with us via Skype! Matt grilled out, dad brought his bubble machine, and Callie sporadically opened gifts until she was too overwhelmed to open any more. Here are just a few of the many wonderful pictures from the day......
