The Last Couple of Weeks….
WARNING – Long blog
Life has been busy here in Texas over the last couple of weeks. One of the best things is the weather has finally warmed back up with highs in the upper 70’s!! It is supposed to cool down a little again this week but spring seems to be on its way in, I’ve heard it starts here in February!
Zac and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. Instead of traveling this year to celebrate we bought furniture, a new kitchen table, dining room chairs, bed frame, desk and computer, and we also went out to a nice prime steakhouse in our neighborhood. It is hard to believe that we have already been married for 2 years. I thank god everyday that Zac is my husband and he reminds me every day why I love him so much!
Lila had her first haircut
And she apparently wanted to be a pirate instead, haha….she did this all on her own!
Zac and I have kept busy with a couple of projects of our own.
Zac’s project: In December we went to a store which sold “Texas” items and they had a really neat cooler that both Zac and I loved. Zac decided that he could make the cooler on his own for much cheaper and spent time this week constructing it.
As you can see the cooler turned out awesome and it will be put to good use out by the pool this summer!!
My project: I have been working on redoing one of our upstairs bedrooms. I decided to start with the “pink room” since it is easily seen from our upstairs living room.
It actually took me 10 days to complete the room mostly because of the amount of trim I had to paint!
Lila found her a place in the closet shelving to hangout while I worked!
I decided to go with a Caribbean theme for the room because the name of the paint was “Caribbean Sunrise” so I was able to utilize a lot of the pictures that we took in St. Lucia. The room isn’t totally complete but here are pictures of it so far…
Which now brings me to my next project, redoing our ugly upstairs bathroom!! Unfortunately the walls are covered in wall paper so this project could last a lot longer than the bedroom! Wish me luck!

The Last Decade
This is a look back at our last 10 years. I am stealing this idea from one of my best friends Katy, she did this on her blog and I thought it would be a great way to begin my first blog.
The year 2000:
May - Zac & I graduated from high school
August – Zac begins his first semester at the University of Louisville in the Electrical Engineering Program
2001:
November – My Dad had a heart attack and is rushed into surgery for an emergency angioplasty
2002:
August – Zac began working as a Co-op at CMTA Engineering
2003:
April – I began working for the Department of Medicine at the University of Louisville
May 31st – My sister Karen got Married
2004:
September 30th – Zac's brother Travis and sister-in-law Amanda welcome our nephew Jackson
October – Karen is shocked and finds out that she is pregnant!
2005:
March 17th – Me and Zac began dating and it was also the day that he closed on his first home
May – Zac graduated with his Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Louisville and began working full time for CMTA
June 11th – Karen goes into labor!
Our niece Hannah was born
December 4th – Zac's brother Jason & sister-in-law Jessica welcome our niece Ellie
2006:
April 28th – My brother Daniel & Kayla are married
June 30th – My Dad is diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer; Hannah is diagnosed and put in the ICU with Type 1 Diabetes on the same day
2007:
February 24th – My brother David & Christa get married
April 16th – Travis and Amanda welcome baby #2 our niece Lauren
May 16th – My Dad lost his battle with Cancer
May 26th – Zac proposed to me in Cincinnati!
2008:
January 18th – Zac & I were married on the island of St Lucia
November – Karen found out she was pregnant with baby #2
December 28th – Zac & I expand our family with our first addition…our dog Lila!
2009:
February – Zac is asked by CMTA to relocate to Texas to help head a new office in Houston.
March – We accept the offer to move to Texas and officially list our house for sell.
July 5th – Karen and Vincent welcome baby #2 our niece Madison
July 31st – After 6 years it’s my last day working at UofL
August 31st – We close on our new home in Texas
September 23rd – The movers arrive and we leave for Texas
September 25th – Our first official day in Texas
This is obviously just a selection of events that happened over the last ten years. Looking back at the past decade there were very happy times as well as many sad ones. Other things that happened were: My oldest brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease. Both of Zac’s brothers were married, Jason married Jessica and Travis married Amanda. I sadly lost both my Grandmothers and Zac lost his Grandma Schneider, as well as other family members and friends. I was honored and asked to be a bridesmaid in 9 different weddings! We spent countless hours having fun with our friends, usually hanging out around a bon fire or someone’s garage. We grew stronger relationships with our families and couldn’t love them more! I am very excited to see what the next decade will bring and to see how our life grows and changes here in Texas!!
