Lots of Updates..

These were described as being the "dog house pj's." I was instructed to wear these whenever Marty is in trouble. HAHA This is a gift from one of my bridesmaids-she tied lots of ribbons on her gifts because "Each broken ribbon = one baby you'll have." This is all of us watching Marty's interview-it was absolutely hilarious!! Oh my gosh! This blog is way over neglected!! I have so much to tell all of you. A lot has happened here. Back in November I had a 2nd Bridal Shower and it was so much fun! We received a lot of kitchen items and my sister was sneaky in the planning process. She asked every invited guest to submit a recipe and I received lots of great recipes from lots of special gals. :o) She also snagged Marty for a recorded interview where she asked him questions and then asked me to see how well we knew each other. (Just like the Newlywed Game) Some more big news is that Marty & I bought a house!! We've spent a couple of days cleaning but with the holidays here we have been too busy. In the meantime we've been packing like crazy and loading boxes into our garage. It's been snowing a lot this week, what a Merry Christmas we've had! Well, we're getting married in exactly 3 weeks from today and we have a lot to do to make our house a home. On Christmas Day Marty awoke at his gma's house to 3-4ft of snow surrounding the cul de sac. He and his brother in law spent 4 hours with the snowblower and shovel clearing out the driveway and street. A neighbor driving an Expedition even got stuck in the snow! After that he made the trek up to his parents' house clear up in the mountains to find his 1/4 mile long driveway cover in another 4 ft of snow. At this point it was 6:30 at night and pitch black. Marty couldn't even park in the driveway but he knew that if he didn't clear the snow his family wouldn't be able to get in for weeks. SO, he spent another 2 1/2 hours with a snow blower and shovel clearing the snow alone. The snow was above his knees and he had to high jump his way to the front door. This poor guy spent almost 7 hours clearing snow on Christmas Day! yuck!! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
