all smiles!

Hello All! I know its been FOREVER! I promised Aunt Angie I would get some new pictures up and Erin as well....so, not much to say except I've never been happier, life is good, God is good!

Introductions into my other life...

I have to admit I was pretty upset when I recieved an A- for my blog...just because I didn't have any pictures. It's just myself and Jared and those are never really fun....so I went through my camera and found some picutres. The picutres I am going to try and upload are those of Jareds niece and nephews. I figure maybe you would like to meet them. Hopefully you will bare with, because I am not used to putting pictures on here. Most of the pictures will have Jared in them because it's from his birthday party. You will all soon come to realize Jared is not very photogenic.

This is a picture of Alex. Alex is the oldest of the kids and is turning 12 on the 27th. He is a great kid and is always so helpful when I babysit them.

Now this is Scott. I believe Scott is 7. He is a good boy. He absolutey loves to tell you about his day in detail and is pretty much willing to do anythig for anyone. He has such a good heart and is always wanting to be a helper...he is more of a leader rather than a follower.

Tori is the only girl out of the crew. She is 6 and is definately spoiled by mommy and daddy. She gets away with anything and often times has special priviliges. Jared and I have talked about it and we both think its such a bad idea. The other boys see how she gets special treatment...but she is not our child.

Can you tell by looking at this picture that he is awnery? Well he is. This is Noah and he is the youngest....4 I believe. Noah is the most unique child I have ever met. Wes and Melissa ( Jareds sister and brother-in-law) have their hands full. Everything Noah eats has to be glutin free...so alot of times they have to prepare special desserts for him and alot of things he has to have his own jar of. He is a total Ham, can always make you laugh.

So there ya have it. That would be some pictures for Aunt Ang, and plus everyone gets to meet some kids I enjoy hanging around. I think it has been mentioned before but all of the kids are adopted. The oldest three are actual siblings adopted from ashland county and then noah was adopted from marion county. I have heard about their pasts and I'm glad that I am able to know them and that they have had a great home provided to them :)

Deadline met!

I can't get into Erins website, so I'm not sure if she has updated yet or not...and I know Ash is doing amazing even being really pregnant...and I know Em has not yet updated....we must keep Aunt Ang happy guys! I'm never sure what to write about because my life is not that eventful. It's always the same ol stuff. Still working and going to school.
Tonight I went to the HS spring musical. Kate did a fabulous job! When did she grow up so fast???? Do you guys ever feel that way? Jared willingly came with me even know he really didn't want to go at first...afterwards he mentioned it several times how he enjoyed it. It was really good...it actually sounded like everyone could sing as well! I remember back in the day when I was in theater....I knew I wasn't the best singer...so I just sang quietly...or mouthed the words..but there were some who didn't bother and sang at the top of their lungs! lol...its all good though.
As of late my days have been spent studying and working, and spending as much time with Jared as possible. It's wierd to think I will not get to see him for possibly up to a yr. Ash your strong and I'm proud of you...I hope I can keep my head up. Jared leaves for training May 1 and then I won't see him for 10 to 12 months. It seems like it has come so fast. Makes me sick to my stomach to even think about it. Anyway I really do not have much more to add...I need to get some sleep, I've been attending the Bridge service in the gym on Sunday's and find myself LOVING it. It really is the highlight of my week. Ok well I hope everyone is doing well..and can't wait to catch up on some blogs!
