Getting Ready

Justin and I are getting ready. Getting ready for what? Well, for our first ever wedding anniversary (!) and for our yearly vacation.

On the 21st, we are leaving to go to Penn State to visit my friend Shonna and to see the comedian Jeff Dunham in person. We're really excited since he is our absolute favorite! The next morning we are going to drive down to Pittsubrgh to visit our friends, Sarah and David.

(*Sorry about the pic...I'm new to this and just trying out different aspects of it*)

So, when we're in Pitts. we're going to basically just spend the day at the zoo. And to celebrate our anniversary with them, we're going to go out to supper at a Japanese steakhouse. That night we will leave to go to Baltimore. Basically, we'll be going to Poe's grave and stopping by Charm City Cakes as well as going to an aquarium which I hear is really good. Then on Wed. we'll be going to Amish country and hopefully stopping by to see Penny and give her the baby present. Thurs and most of Fri. will be spent in Philadelphia. We're going to see the Rocky statue and eat at Geno's in honor of Justin's birthday! Also, we're going to see the Rodin, LOVE and possibly clothespin statue. Hehe and go on a Duck ride and ghost walk. Oh and the best is going to see the haunted prison of Eastern State Penitentiary. Then we might get to see Jenn that night and maybe on Sat.

We're really excited to be able to take this trip and get to spend some extra time with each other without the worries of work and time limits and, basically, reality. Plus, with my new camera that Justin got me for an early Christmas present I can take some amazing pics that will definately be posted up here for all to enjoy!

Our First Blog

Justin and I decided that it would be fun to have this blog. There is a lot of new stuff that's going to start happening in our lives and we thought it would be nice to be able to share it with our friends and family.

Justin is keeping busy with his numerous jobs. He currently works for a cleaning service, as a lead cook at Pizza Hut and, to top it all off, he has a computer repair business which my family alone continuously supports :-) Justin is also working on scrapbooking some of our more memorable moments. I'm glad I have him for that since I can't do things like that.

My life has also been blessed recently by my work. I am a preschool teacher at a center called Stepping Stones. I am lucky enough to enjoy my co-workers and the children I see each day. Starting in the fall I'll have a raise and be working 40 hours a week. That can be a lot with 30 children each week but we're going to need it if our plans continue. Also, on my spare time (if you can call it that) I make quilts. Since Jan. I have made about eight quilts with two that were ordered. And I am making an ordered full sized cat quilt now for Justin's boss, who has previously bought one as well. I love picking out the unique fabrics and then seeing the final product. Any orders can be taken for any size :-P

We have decided that in a few weeks we are going to be searching for our very first home. Currently, we are in our Barbie Doll apartment, which I hate to admit but I actually really like, but we feel that it is time to begin searching for a home of our very own.

Also, we are working on planning some trips for this fall. Justin and I are going to do a driving tour of Southern PA and possibly up into NJ to visit my sister and then we also have a Christmas mystery trip with Justin's mom in Dec. Then there are a few lil trips thrown in here and there. I love travelling and am really excited to be able to visit these new places with the people that I love.

Well, I guess that's all for the first post. We have to get ready to go to Justin's aunt's house. She's having a summer picnic and you know what that means...FOOD!
