Four Years Later.....

Well Friends,

I have decided I should start blogging again. With Baby #4 on the way, a love for cooking/baking and crocheting etc. I figure I have a lot of Randomness in my life to share!

I will share crazy stories from our days with the kids. Recipes I have tried and want to share. Crafts I am working on and more.

Hope you enjoy following our crazy random life!

It's a....

Well two weeks ago we had my ultrasound! For awhile I thought our child was going to be stubborn and keep us in suspense. Finally we were able to see, very clearly, that we are having a baby BOY!!!

Troy is very happy, and I am thrilled as well. We were hoping for a boy but would have been pleased with a girl as well. We are just so thankful and feel very blessed to be having this child.

At this point my due date is October 20th. Hoping to go earlier but know that everything about timing is in God's hands.

Time Again

Wow its been over 2 years since I have posted anything! I am terrible at this!

Well I figure its time to start again. An update:

We have been married now for 2 1/2 years. We are due to have our first Child mid-October 2012. We are super excited! We find out hopefully on June 12 if it is a boy or girl!

We will share with everyone the gender but will keep the name a surprise!

We are hoping to buy my parents house this fall. We tried last fall but I hadn't been in my job long enough. I work at a local bank as a teller. I have been there for almost 1 1/2 years now.

Troy graduated from NIU one year ago! He is working as a Quality Assurance Tester for an outreach of NIU, IIRC(Illinois Interactive Report Card).

We are excited about the new things happening in our lives! The last year definitely brought some hard times and changes but God is faithful in all things!

I look forward to trying to keep up with this as the summer starts and as we plan for our baby!

Cooking/Baking

So those of you who know me know that i love to bake and cook. That has been a fun side of marriage! i love cooking dinner and such for me and my hubby. I just recently got to by a Kitchen Aid mixer which makes baking a lot easier :-)

Here are a couple meals i have cook since the new year...(sorry pictures are kinda blurry)

Venison Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans & Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Lemon Basil Pork Chops, Yellow Rice & Salad


Usually we have spaghetti, and sloppy joes at least every other week. Sometime soon i'll post my recipe for the sloppy joes. I'll try to post recipes and pictures as i make meals!

I made Chili this weekend as well as Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, & Snicker doodles.
Yummy yummy! :-)
