LOVIN'

• Sitting on our back deck with a glass of wine.


• Watching TV on our new HD Flat Screen


• Watching Mia Dog lay in our yard.


• See our rose bushes bloom.


• Taking baths in our big sauna tub - with bubbles.


• Seeing my friends bellies grow from the miracle of conception.


• Watching the Hawks...never in my life would I have thought I'd say that.


• Planting flowers and watching Bruce mow the lawn.


• Grey Goose dirty martinis.


• Hanging things on our walls.


• Being with my hubby.

Hump Day!

I thought since work was quiet today and I was not feeling too motivated to accomplish anything that I would update this blog. I really, really want to get better at it!

Things have been going really well in our little world! Our house is slowly but surely transforming into "our" home. We bought a new TV for the den - it is a 52" Samsung HD TV and it is insane. We love it. We probably are watching more TV than usual because it is that fantastic! I never thought I'd love a TV so much - but now I cannot wait for college football to start! We also are so lucky that we are getting my oldest brother Mark's and Kristina's dining room table! And to make the house even more special...we got grandma and grandpa Mehok's bedroom furniture to use in one of our extra bedrooms. It is awesome - I love having a piece of them in our home.

We are also trying to plan a house warming party, but that has been more challenging than one would think! Just trying to pick the perfect date and figure out exactly what to provide...er, figure what we can afford to provide. :) It will be soon though - I promise!

My family is doing really well too! Eric and Maria have recently put a offer on a new home - so keep your fingers crossed for them! Also, our wonderful friends Matt and Joanna are closing on a new house at the end of May - and they will be closer to us!! YAY! :) And even better - our friends Heather and Matt are pregnant with their first baby! Check out the link to their blog on my page! :) CONGRATS everyone!! We love you!

On a totally different note:
As most of you know, from this blog or from MySpace - a dear friend of mine is very, very sick with cancer. They do not think she has much longer on this beautiful earth of ours. Please help me keep her and her family in our prayers.
Things like this always seem to put life into perspective. My aches and pains seem so insignificant, fights and grudges seem so childish and holding onto my family and friends is priority. Life is too short and I don't want to waste another minute....

Love always,
Carrie

Our dear friend Lynn

Hi everyone! I am posting this bulletin for a very important reason - one that is near and dear to mine and many others hearts.Our good friend and my former co-worker, Lynn is very sick with cancer.

In July 2007, Lynn was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer. They also found additional bone cancer and a tumor on the base of her skull that was pushing the nerves on her left eye. After a CT scan, they found that although her lungs and pelvis were free of cancer, there was some found in her liver. This is Lynn's second battle with breast cancer.Please join me in helping some friends of mine as they take the journey to do the Atlanta 3-day walk in Lynn's honor and in the honor of all the women and men that battle cancer everyday of their lives.
