Sum up 2010. 2011 is on its way!

This year has been somewhat eventful for us. This year we celebrated our second year of marriage! The time has flown by. It seems only yesterday, that we knelt across the altar, and yet each day is a wonderful reminder that I am married to my best friend who supports me in everything that I do. Speaking of Daniel, for the past year, he has done full time school at a branch of Mount Olive College for his bachelor’s degree in business, and should be done coming June. He continues to work full time at the hospital in CT Radiology. Work has kept him busy with the addition of a new boss, as well as being part of a committee called Ecomaniacs, that does service around Greenville every month. He has also been busy in our church with being a secretary keeping important records. As for me, work has kept me on my toes as well, with lots of changes to the department and management as well. Things are beginning to return to normal again. I am also involved at church working with the young ladies from 12-18 in our congregation, and it is always a great joy working with them. With the New Year approaching, we are looking forward to Daniel finishing with his bachelor’s in June, as well as adding a wonderful addition to our duo shortly after. We will find out soon after the New Year if it’s a son or daughter coming to us! Happy Holidays to all and may God always be in your hearts as well as your homes! Love to all!

Thanksgiving 2010!

The Holidays are coming! Daniel and I had the opportunity to have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house this year, since we are both working THanksgiving day. So on Wednesday, we drove up to my parents house, and had the feast of our lives. Daniel even made the sweet potato casserole for us, that turned out real well! There was so much food, that after everyone had ate, we could all have seconds! It was great! Here are a few pictures! Maybe next year, we will be able to have work-free holidays! Lets hope :)

September Camping trip and Halloween!

Daniel and I took a small vacation for a weekend and went camping in the mountains. We took a tent and camped up in Hanging Rock. It was super cold that night, but we had fun! For Halloween, we were able to carve some pumpkins at least this year even though I had to work. We didnt really celebrate or dress up. Maybe we are getting too old or maybe its because we dont have kids yet? Who knows. Here a some pictures! Enjoy!

Birthday!

I had a birthday, shout hooray! You want to sing to me today! One year older and wiser too! Happy birthday to me! Yes, I turned 27 this year! Last year, I worked on my birthday and it was no fun, so this year, I took the day off! It was great! I had the best day! Slept in, daniel made me breakfast, and let me open some gifts all before he had to leave for work that day. I love music and games, so I asked for an IPOD touch for my birthday. My wonderful husband went out and bought me one! He made me hunt for it though. Also, since Daniel had to work, his mom, aunt Jill, and both of his grandmothers Norma Tiek and Judy Rogers came to Greenville and took me out for lunch to my favorite place Olive Garden, and then shopping at Kohls! I officially love birthdays! Here are some pics from the special day!

2010 WVB Reunion!

Recently, I attended a family reunion in Utah for my dad's side of my family. We decided to "go back to our roots," which was camping at 12 Mile Flat campground in the mountains of Utah near Fayette. The last time we had gone camping here was when I was one year old and according to my parents and my siblings, I fell hands first into a smoldering fire pit, buring my hands pretty bad. Well, this type of thing didnt happen this year, but a child did get hurt. My poor nephew of only 2 years, was hit right on his nose by a homemade swing, a 2 by 4 piece of wood. Oh yes, of course as all family gatherings go, most of got sick as well. We discovered halfway through the camping experience, that the water there was unsafe to drink, so most of us got the runs as well as puking. Overall it was a good trip. The best part was seeing my cousins, and my family that lives in Utah, who I dont see on a regular basis. Here a few pictures!

Visiting Family at the Beach!

Daniel and I took a much needed visit and trip to see Dan's sister and her family in Florida this past week. We kayaked, swam in the gulf, ate real seafood and most importantly spent time with Megan, Steve and the kids. It was nice and so beautiful! Here are a few pics! Thanks to the Palmers for letting us come!

Spring Break!

Daniel and I decided to take a break from school and work this week. We wanted to see the Biltmore Mansion, so this week we bought tickets online, and rented a hotel room for one night. Thursday morning, we started the five hour drive and got there in time for a nice dinner in downtown Asheville. We enjoyed downtown Asheville, but the dinner not so much. After getting some sleep and a good breakfast, the next morning, we made our way to the Biltmore House. We already had our tickets printed, and had shown them to the people at the gate, so when we got on the bus to the house, we didnt realized that we still needed them. So after stopping at the bathroom first, then going back to get our tickets, we finally made it to the house for the tour. It was so fun! We paid the extra ten dollars for the audio tour, and it was so worth it! After the two hour tour, we walked through the gardens, and took pictures. The weather was wonderful, still a little windy but sunny skies all day long. So grateful for days off! It was needed!

Daniel's Birthday

Daniel had a birthday in February! He turned the big 27! We celebrated with both parents! My parents came down and took us out to eat at McAllisters Deli for lunch the day before and then for dinner on Daniel's birthday, his parents ordered us a nice dinner at Outback! It was a great treat from both! We also ordered a special cake for Daniel's birthday from Cold Stone! Daniel says it was the best birthday even though he was sick! Happy 27th Babe!

Snow in 2010 and Valentine's Day!

This year near the end of January and beginning of Feburary, we got snow here in the upper south! We got 5-7 inches! It was fun. It even stayed for a few days because the temperatures got into the teens here. Two weeks later, we also got snow and it was Valentine's day. The second time it melted quickly and the roads were clear enough that Daniel and I were able to attend the temple on Saturday and even have a nice pre Valentine's Day lunch afterwards at Cheescake Factory. On Valentine's Day, we just went to church and stayed in, fixed a nice dinner and made some sugar cookies. Here are a few pictures! Enjoy!

2010 Here we come!

Dan and I are looking forward to this year! We have gots lots of goals that we want accomplish, as well as have some fun! Dan is still working on his Bachelor's at Mount Olive. He is in his 4th or 5th class right now, and still working full time as a CT Tech. For me, I am currently still working in the Patient Food Office. In mid March for two weeks, I will be part of a new program for receiving menu selections from our patients. We will actually be visiting the patients more on a one-on-one basis, and I will be supervisoring the menu selection side of the program. I am somewhat excited and nervous. If the trial works out, they will make the program permanent within a month or two. As far as a few other goals, we are working on paying off our cars, so that we can save more money :) Here's to a new year!
