THREE JOYS
1. Cooking- I love cooking and entertaining...having people over and serving a great meal and making people happy is so much fun to me
2. A good book - I am reading Hearts of the Children and can't wait to finish it...then I'll move on to Joel Rosenberg
3. friends
THREE FEARS
1. birds - I think they are the creepiest little things....they just stare and stare with their beady, little eyes
2. losing my job or James his
3. kids that I can't give back :-)
THREE GOALS
1. Stay as "Cool" as I am now. Remind me when I have teens that I was once cool - even to the Young Women
2. pay off my bills
3. plant a garden
THREE CURRENT OBSESSIONS
1. House Decor - any of it I just love it all. I love spending other peoples money to help them decorate their house too. :-)
2. BBQ - every summer I rediscover the grill and want to use it all the time
3. cleaning and organization. I hate it when things are disorganized but I hate to be the one to organize and I love a clean house but I just wish a little fairy would clean it for me
THREE RANDOM SURPRISING FACTS
1. I really like football since James explained the game to me about 4 years ago. Now I know what a first down is. Changes your whole perspective
2. I love German Food.
3. I really enjoy old cars and learning about them. Not working on them or getting dirty but I just like to talk to people about them.

So I am obviously not very good at posting but I do try to go read up on everyone else's blogs and keep up to date. Usually this is done either late at night or during work so I don't have much time to post anything to y'all.

But here is a little update on James and I.

Memorial Day weekend my in laws came to town and we had a nice time. We went to Fredericksburg and ate some great German food (my in-laws Marlene and Ralph next to a giant carved wood eagle in Fredericksburg), went to Enchanted Rock only to be told it would cost us $24 to climb up a giant granite rock in 100 degree weather so we took a picture with the sign and called it done!

Then we also went to the Natural Bridge Caverns in Georgetown which are an extension of the Carlsbad Caverns. It was so humid and muggy outside that the beautiful temperature of 62 degrees year round made it more bearable.

My father in law took all of these pictures and he even took one of James and I since we never have pictures of us anywhere.

Then we have just been working and for those of you that don't know what we do, James is a computer geek. He works for the Department of Veterans Affairs writing software programs that allow veterans to more easily get access to government funds for housing. I work in sales for a granite company. So basically I sell countertops to all different kinds of people. I am attaching a couple of pictures of one of my most recent homes that is on the market for a measly 1.185 Million. Pocket change right?

And then on June 14th we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. Seems like forever! :-) We had a very nice anniversary, I remade our wedding cake and then we went to Ruth's Chris for dinner. That is the best steak I have ever had in my entire life. I don't know if I will ever be able to eat another steak again! And you are basically up to speed on our life as of right now.

We did finish painting the majority of our house so I am in the process of putting all of that back together but will try to post pics later on.
