Edenton!

 

 

 

 

Daniel and I had the day off yesterday, so we decided to take a small trip to the coastal town of Edenton! It was so neat! We discovered that there was a battle there from the Revolutionary War and that one of the signers of the Declaration lived there! We saw a few historic homes, as you can see from the pictures, ate some lunch at the Soda Shoppe and walked into a few shops to browse! It was just nice to be outside and out of Greenville!

Birthday Fun!

 

For Dan's birthday, Daniel went and got tickets to a car show in Raleigh. He and Grant(my nephew) had a blast! This is Daniel in his "dream car". They have lots of more pictures, but this was the best one!

Long time pass with no post!

Time flies when your busy! The past two months it seems like all we do is sleep, eat and work. We did do one or two fun things. Daniel's birthday came at the end of February! That day, I fixed him a special breakfast! He loved it! I don't have any pictures, sorry! That weekend, his parents took us out to dinner at Cheesecake Factory! Sooooo good and so nice to see his parents again! We also went and did a temple session! What a great way to end the month! This month, we were wanting to go to the Zoo this weekend, but it is deciding to rain the entire day. What a bummer! Also, this month, I am going to the dentist to get some cavities filled! What a joy! Not really, I hate the dentist, so pray for me. Maybe next month will be better.

 

 

 

 

It got real cold here today and with some rain, we got almost a foot of snow! I had some fun collected some for snow cream after getting off work. Even though, it won't be here tommorrow, its still neat! Here are some pictures!

Look forward not back!

With the new year approaching, it takes my mind back to all the things that happened this past year. It all started with New Year's! I was sick with a cold, but the best memory is that Daniel proposed to me! What a great year it has been! Get married, get a new job, move into a new area and new ward, which we love of course! There have been some not so pleasant memories, but as time goes on, I only seem to remember the good things and in many ways it's a great blessing! I love the beginning of a new year, and the anticipation that comes with it! 2009 here we come!

Busy Month!

I can't believe that I haven't blogged in a month! I must be busy working too hard. Well, lots has happened. Shortly before Thanksgiving, my parents returned from their two year mission in Australia! I wasn't able to be there until the day after, but it was so nice to see them again! Then this past weekend, Daniel and I finally got a tree and some Xmas decorations on Friday and then Sat night, we invited 7 couples from our ward over for a Xmas party where we decorated gingerbread houses! It was a blast! Thanks to all those who came! We had a blast as well! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

New President!?

It seems that everyone is talking about the election and the new president. I had a girl at Walmart the other day randomly ask me if I was excited about the new president. I lied and told her that I thought Obama would do a good job. In reality, I disagree with some of the things that Obama will do for this country. I don't like the fact that he supports abortion, or the idea of raising taxes, or pulling the troops out of Iraq, who are protecting the people who are innocent in this whole war. Daniel and I were able to watch the ending speeches of each candidate the other night. It was very interesting to see how each one spoke. It was a neat experience to see McCain, and his humility toward Obama. I love the moment when he mentioned God. On the other hand, Obama, was almost the complete opposite. He only said one thing about McCain, and then proceeded to make alot promises to the country of what we needed to do, that America needed to save themselves. He made no mention of any higher being. Well, I won't say much more, for I know that our Heavenly Father knows of our situation as a country and won't let anything happen that is against his plan. I do love what Bush said after the election, "May God bless who ever wins the election," and I think he knew that it needed to be said.
