Eventful day at church!

On Sunday, our church talked about physical fitness and how you need to be physically fit so that you are healthy and able to do what God has planned for you. It also goes along with being spiritually fit as well.

Matt was in a skit at the beginning of the experience to start of the message about being fit ("experience" is what we call our church service) He is the one dressed up as a twinkie :) It's really funny!! Just click on the link below to watch the 5 minute skit:

"Food for Thought" Skit



At the end of the experience, the River Rock kids (kindergarten-5th grade) got to come up on stage and sing "Every Move I Make." Since I volunteer with River Rock, I also got to go on stage with the kids. Remember, we were talking about physical fitness so all the kids got to wear sweatbands! (They were super cute!) In the video, I am on the far left of the screen in a red shirt and blue sweatband. Click on the link below to watch us sing and dance to the song on stage:

**** I just realized that these links don't work unless you sign into facebook. I can't find a way to make the videos on facebook public like you can do with the pictures. Anyone know how? Sorry to those of you who don't have facebook...it's the only place the videos would upload****

Daily adventures in the first year of marriage :)

We accidentally had a candle overflow and the wax dripped through a crack in the table and onto our carpet...YES, the CARPET! How do you get wax out of carpet you ask? Use an iron and a paper bag and/or towel!

I didn't get a before picture because I didn't think about it...but trust me, there was A LOT of wax on our carpet!

Here is Matt using a washcloth after already soaking up some wax with a paper bag.


Back to the paper bags...they worked the best!

This is after cleaning it up...you can hardly see where the wax was!


Meanwhile, I was acting all wife like and I actually cooked dinner! Here is proof :) I made tuna casserole

New Haircut/ Random Pics

I got a haircut on Friday...and it was cut a LOT shorter than I wanted it...but Matt likes it, so that's all that matters I guess :) We decided to take some random pics tonight, so here are 2 of them.

We are both very busy with work and volunteering at church, but we are doing well. Life is good and we are just kinda waiting to see what happens in the next few months as to whether I will get a teaching job or not.

Amazing 5 year old...

So this past year, there was a little girl named Kaitlyn Maher who was on Americas Got Talent. At the time, she was 4, but now she is 5 and she is adorable!!! She even has her own CD already! Here is a link to a video that was taken on New Years Eve of a song that SHE wrote for her dad. It is super cute and I just wanted to share with everyone :)

A look back at 2009

Here is a slideshow of the main things that happened in 2009!!

Bring on 2010!

Our First Christmas Together

This Christmas was our first Christmas as a married couple...and we were busy!! We were both part of our church Christmas show called "Joyride" at The River.

This is a painting that was done during a church service right before Christmas
At the shows, there were gingerbread men and a snowman walking around in the lobby. They were pretty cool!
Matt was a janitor in the performance and he was the opener to the whole thing.


(video taken during a rehearsal, so it wasn't quite perfected yet)

He was also Joseph.


(video taken during rehearsal)

There was a REAL baby that played Jesus at every performance! In this picture, it is a doll because this was taken during a rehearsal

I wasn't IN the show, but I was in charge of the little kids who were the sheep. They were sooooo cute!!! It was fun, and a lot of people appreciated me being there to keep the kids under control.
I made each child a sheep ornament and a goodie bag that I gave to them after the last performance.
Christmas Day!!!! Our first Christmas together :)
One of my presents from Matt was Disney Sing It...I opened it and played it right away!
Then we made Christmas cookies
and decorated them too!
Here is the final product...take note of Matt''s "ninja" snowman and the bear with his head bitten off, haha. Matt wasn't exactly into making "cute" cookies
I was in charge of the cute cookies :)
Then we went to the Oglesby's for more family fun
And of course had to take lots of cousin pics!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

The Journey to Disney Stardom has Begun!!!

The music video for The Wannabes that Matt was a brief extra for has been posted on their website!

Matt is in the very beginning of the video in the background. He is wearing black with a black hat and is carrying a tan colored crate. All you will see is his back...but still, he's there! The song/video is called "Anticipation"

Here is the link to check it out:
