Here's what I did today!! After 8 years and 3 months of marriage I finally got it -- my dishwasher! It's my Christmas present. I've always said I don't want something that is for the house or work to be a present but you know what, I don't care this time. I'm so excited! Now I have to wait for my brother-in-law to install it but I'm sure he'll get to it soon.



Also today we got the tree out of the attic. The girls really enjoyed decorating it. There are a few branches that are loaded with three or four ornaments but that's what makes it so cute. Aunt Jessie brought the girls shirts home from Italy. I think it means hello pretty girl. Correct me if I'm wrong Jess (I know you will LOL). Well, that's all for now. I have dishes to wash since my dishwasher isn't hooked up yet.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I remembered to take my turkey out of the freezer in enough time this year. Last year I had a frozen turkey the night before and ended up staying up half the night changing water to thaw it out. I did learn my lesson. We'll be having our Thanksgiving feast tonight. Joe's parents and brother and niece are joining us. My family is in Ohio at my brother's house. Before they left Aunt Jessie stopped in to see us last night. Here are the indians and pilgrim (or pilgram as Abby says).


The girls are now making place setting cards and we also have plans to make a "pin the tail on the turkey" game. They're excited.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!!

My first blog!

I always read blogs and think someday I'm going to start one. Today is that day! Joe's at work, Megan's at school, Abby's at preschool and I am ALONE. I finished all of my typing last night so this is how I'll spend the morning.

How do I start a blog? If you're reading this you probably already know who I am. To those who don't I'm Amy, a SAHM, well I guess I'm a WAHM now. I type Q&A's for insurance claims from home. I enjoy it but most of all enjoy being home with my girls and taking care of the home. I have a wonderful husband, Joe. We've been married for 8 years. We have two daughters, Megan is 6 and Abby is 4. Megan's in kindergarten and Abby's in preschool. They are both growing up so fast. That is my life right there!
