Deal or No Deal!

Jeff and I have had a deal going for almost a year now. The deal is that if I can learn to keep a clean house I am allowed to have a baby. I agree with the deal because I believe no baby should live in a messy house, the child needs to have a good environment to go grow up in. Now for those of you that have lived with me or know me very well I am not the cleanest person. My clothes rarely make it to the closet or hamper when I take them off. They usually end up on the bed, the floor of the closest or the chair in our bedroom. I rarely take the time to actually put away my blow dryer or straightener after I use them, so after a few days I have things all over the bathroom. This drives my poor husband crazy because he is slightly OCD and wants a clean home. The thing he hates the most is if I come through the front door with things in my hands, they aren't put where they belong right then, they usually end up right next to the front door on the floor in our front room. He is always picking things up after me. I think there is truly something in my brain that keeps me from doing these simple tasks of putting things away. For example, if I decide that I want to eat a granola bar while sitting in my bed when I'm done my thought process is to set the wrapper on the night stand and I'll throw it away in a minute. (The wrapper sits there for days.) Jeff doesn't understand how I can't just get off my butt and throw the wrapper away right then. I really don't know why I can't, I just don't think to do it that way. You have to understand though, I do clean once a week, I'm not disgusting, just messy. So this is my attempt at changing. I had a good excuse when I was working full time in St. George. I told Jeff, "I am working just as much as you and I cannot be expected to clean this 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath townhouse by myself." The idea was to split the house into 2 and I would have my rooms to clean and he would have his. I attempted to keep my area of the house clean, which lasted for maybe a week. I just kept getting busy and forgetting. We are now living in a one bedroom apartment in North Carolina for the summer so I am going to finally become a clean person. I figure I can handle two rooms, one bathroom and a kitchen right? Yesterday I did a full cleaning and Jeff was so amazed. I told him to expect it for the rest of the summer. Maybe if I can keep this up my townhouse won't be that bad when i get home. So everyone think of me every time you are cleaning your house and hope that I am also cleaning mine. Here goes, maybe in a month or two you will be hearing some kind of baby news, I guess if you do, you'll know I kept a clean house!

Let's Hear It For The McCoys!


Jeff and I just wanted to congratulate Brandon and Brittney McCoy on their new arrival. On June 21, 2007 Cruz Allen McCoy was born weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 in. long. He is a beautiful boy, as you can tell by the picture. They are going to be great parents and we can't wait to get home to see our new little nephew. Brittney you just keep showing him pictures of us while we are gone so that when we see him he will be happy and know who we are. Congrats again and we love you!

Baby Peter is home!

Baby Peter is officially home. He is still very small, only 4 lbs and on oxygen but he is home so we are all so happy. Kris is such a great mom and I'm so excited for her to have her baby at home with her. He is a beautiful baby and I can't wait to get home to see him.

Flashback Friday



I've seen this done on other blogs so I thought I'd give it a try. These are pictures of our second Christmas together being married. We had just gotten a new camera so these are some of the first pictures taken with it. The one picture is of me and my beloved TiVo. I truly love it. We left it at home for our friends to use while we are away from the summer and it is so hard to not be able to rewind if I miss something. So I can't wait to have it back. Thank you to whoever made this wonderful thing called TiVo. The other is of Jeff at my sister, Kristina's house. He had just received a shirt from one of my siblings. I put it in here because I think he looks so handsome in the picture. So there is my first Flashback Friday. I think it is fun. You should try it too!

Here we come North Carolina!

Well we've had a great time here in Florida but things are changing. The office we are with has had some hard times with people not being who we thought they were. Unfortunately they have had to be fired and some have left leaving us with a small team. There is another small team in Raleigh, North Carolina so we are consolidating and moving to North Carolina. It'll be fun to live in another state and I've never been to North Carolina so what an adventure. We are leaving Saturday to drive there, so the packing must start today. We are going to get to Busch Gardens before we head out because Jeff has been dying to go on all of the roller coasters. He has to have a little bit of fun every now and then, he is working so hard right now. So wish us luck in North Carolina!
