House Pictures

Here are some pictures of our  house here in Dayton! I tried getting these pictures with a low battery on my camera but I couldn't get any of the kitchen or the bathrooms .

This is the living room! I don't know if you can see the snow outside? It snows buckets here but it doesn't stick to the ground much. In Colorado when it would snow it would be in feet, here it just disappears! I love our neighborhood! Last week two of our neighbors brought us welcome gifts, cookies and fudge!! They were so nice and we all talked for about an hour and a half! God is so good to give us such nice neighbors! 

This is the Dinning Room, it looks out the front porch. Right of the picture is the kitchen, sorry you can't see it.

This is the Master Bedroom. I love the window, you can't see it to well here but it gives the room excellent atmosphere!

Going in to the sub room you have to go through the Master. I love that room! My closet is in there and also the Master Bathroom.

That door in the mirror is the hallway door going out into the dinning room.

This window in the little sub/study is so nice because of all the light it brings to this room and our Master room! Can you see the snow? The houses are so adorable here! I can't get over it!

I should be posting my cake that I decorated last night! Stay tuned!!

The Mom Song

If you haven't seen this you should watch it! My mom had me look it up and it gave me a good laugh!! You probably want to go push pause on my playlist down below.

I'm back and just now starting to catch my breath! John and I made the three day trip and we are now snugly and cozy in our little house on Schuyler Drive! The unpacking has been the best part of the move so far! I will post some pictures when I get a chance to finish the house! 

I just made an appointment for an OBGYN doctor, I feel like I have a lot of appointments to make up! The town is so adorable, the neighborhood is old and has an antique feeling to it! We are still getting used to the cold!!!!! Wow is it cold here! I have to say goodbye to all my sleeveless shirts and start shopping for sweaters and long sleeves! We got in on Saturday and we are starting to find our way around. I found a Hobby Lobby which thrilled me! I signed up for a Wilton Cake Decorating class! My first class was last Tuesday! I got the 1st session half off also!! Each course is 4 weeks and there is 4 courses, I want to take all four so I will be certified!

I can't wait to finally read and catch up on everyone's blogs!!

 I hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! 

New Enya Album

Here is a song from  Enya's new winter Cd!!!

I love how she did this song!!

Here are some pictures of the house we are going to rent! The inside is my favorite!
I love the wood floors and the fire place! I told Jonathan that if we like living in it, it would be nice if they would sell it to us!



It is nice to be back in Phoenix with Jonathan! I missed him so much. We went to our churches Christmas production last night! It was so good! Himilce was in it and it was fun to see her! Every year our church has amazing Christmas productions! Flying angles, a singing Christmas tree, live animals, horses, sheep, camels, even an elephant! Last year Jonathan and I went to Broadway on our honeymoon in NY and we saw Marry Poppins, when we got back home it was during the Christmas production and we were amazed to realize that it was so much better than Broadway and we didn't have to pay 50 dollars!

Fun Day Out!

Elizabeth and I met with our long time childhood friend Holly who is getting Married in January! We got to give her a wedding present because we both won't be able to make her happy day! We were supposed to meet at Star Bucks but I got really hungry so we went to Sam's club and ate at their little deli, we had pizza and ice cream! Then we walked around shopping and trying samples :) That is my favorite part!

Elizabeth and I got to shop a little today and we had so much fun together!

We each tried on hats at Koals! Hats are such a down fall for us! We don't wear them too much but we love shopping for a new one! 

This one is very cute but I'm not sure if I could really wear it!!

Later this evening we all got to see our sweet little Olechka play basket ball at her school! Her team did really well! The score was 39 to 28

Olga is number 22

2 Months and 3 Weeks Pregnant!!

I finally got my internet to accept my pictures! Here is one of me taken this evening! 

Moving!!!

 John's job at Met Life has closed out its office in Phoenix because of the current economy. All of John's co-workers last day is December 31. God has certainly been looking after us because John is the only employee who didn't lose his job! Since the company is closing out in phoenix, Met Life is sending John and I to Dayton, OH next month! They recognize what a great worker John is and they don't want to lose him!

 No Christmas decorating for me this year :( John starts work the 1st of January. When I get home it looks like boxes and clean out for me!! I am really sad to leave my sisters Elizabeth and Himilce. 

I am excited to live in a new area though! Were looking at houses to rent right now and every house we find is adorable! I will post some pictures when we decide on which one we can afford! Maybe I will put up our little christmas tree when we move in to our new home. We can enjoy it for a week or two, even if it is after christmas! 

Christmas Joy!

Hi everyone! I have so much to write about and I don't know where to begin. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was blessed with joy! It was so cozy here with my family! I woke up and discovered it was snowing outside my window! Dad had started a lovely fire in our stove that heats the whole house! I wasn't sick, which I was happy about on this very happy day! Mom maid pirozhkies (Russian pies with meats and mushrooms inside. We added chocolate to some, he he!) The kids introduced us to this yummy treat 2 1/2 years ago and it has been a family tradition ever since.  We all sat around knitting and playing poker and later took a walk in the snow with the two dogs and the cat! The meal was a great anticipation for me! I have been eating my parents out of house and home! 

For some reason I am not able to post pictures here, but when I get a chance I will update everyone on my tum tum! It is just now starting to peak out! I'm not as tired any more, so that is a blessing! I envy my sister Elizabeth's energy! She can just spring up the stairs with no effort at all. I have to huff and puff my way up the stairs and then take a little rest on my parents bed. When I go down the stairs I have to find the nearest chair. Elizabeth has been my slave! She cleans my messes up and gets me food or whatever I need! My mom's cooking has been heaven! I am coming home next Tuesday! I am so excited to see my Jonathan! I have never been away from him this long and I can't wait to kiss him and hug him and call him George!!!! My trip has been so much fun! Mom took us girls antique shopping on Saturday, we have been watching Christmas movies every night! The XM radio has been playing Christmas carols to get us all into the season! I wish everyone A Very Merry Christmas!!

Visiting Home

Hi everyone! I'm sorry about dropping off the face of the earth! Elizabeth needed a major break from work so we decided to make a trip back home! We haven't been home together for a while. It has been so nice being here for the holidays with the family! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sorry  I haven't been able to check up on all of my blogging friends :( When I get more time and more internet I will be seeing you! Love you all!!

Its a Brooke Fraser Week

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

This song has been giving me so much comfort this last week! I have had a really hard week and when I put this song on it has lifted my spirits to trust in the Lord and not to give into worry. I know that my life can't be perfect but Jesus is here and He can wash away all sin.
