Happy Birthday Kayla!! We love you!
goes out to our great friends Melissa and Brian! They recently found out they were expecting their first baby together!! We are so thrilled for both of them and we cannot wait to meet the new addition to their wonderful family!
Congratulations guys! We love you! Happy and Healthy Nine Months! :)
Last Tuesday, I opened the door from our garage into the kitchen and I was greeted by my sweet Mia, as usual. 
Isn't she precious? Anyways, I was giving her my typical dose of just got home from work lovin' and all of a sudden I noticed another sound coming from the other side of the kitchen. It was a curious barking and as I turned the corner I saw my husband sitting at the kitchen table and a little pup at his feet. 
Meet Marley - our new baby. She is 3 months old and as cute as a button. The first words out of my mouth to Bruce were "What did you do?"
Needless to say, I was in shock at first. But now that we have her I love her more than anything. She is a pretty good pup and is crate training pretty well. She gets into everything so I have to watch her like a hawk, but other than that she has been doing really well.
Mia is still getting used to sharing her house, but she is getting better every day.
Our family is growing!! :)
It has been a hot minute since I last updated my blog - I'm sure no one missed it too terribly! :)
Things have been going really great in our little world lately! We are both still enjoying our home and having a lot of fun trying to fill it up! Bruce has been working his booty off lately. Ever since the temps hit the 90 degree and above mark here in HotLanta, everyone needs their HVAC fixed ASAP! No complaints here though - it is great for us and for the business!
My work has been a ball of stress lately. We've been hit pretty hard with the recession and have had 2 rounds of major layoffs. I have been able to make my way through both (thank God) and I think I will be ok. I have taken on a lot of other peoples jobs since they were laid off - I am now officially: Executive Assistant, Office Manager, Marketing Assistant, IT Support and Receptionist. YIKES! Ha, Ha! It actually has not been that bad and hopefully they will want to keep me around until we get through this rough patch in our company. *fingers crossed* :)
I cannot remember if I blogged about this or not...so I may be repeating myself, sorry! BUT, our dear friends Heather and Matt are expecting! And it's a GIRL!! :) Might I add, that I called that one all the way!!! :) I am so excited for them both - they will be amazing parents!
Also, our friends Allison and Kirk welcomed baby # 2 and it was a GIRL too!!!! (I called that one too - 2 for 2 baby!) Her name is Abigail "Abby" Gibbs Thompson - she is gorgeous! Jack is going to be a wonderful big brother!
All these babies and GIRLS...is something in the water? :)
This weekend is Father's Day and my dad's birthday is June 26th - so we are celebrating both this Saturday at my brother Greg's house!
Hope everyone is amazing! Have a great rest of the week!
Much love, Carrie
Love this song..... :)
Come on Get Higher by Matt Nathanson
I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If i could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss feel the pull of your heart
I miss taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and god when you come on
Hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on....(sing shaa la la la laaOuuu)
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me
Drown me in love
It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's all wrong, its so right
Come on get higher
Come on and get higher
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your heart

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
