Making Granny Proud

Granny taught me to knit when I was 13. I was always fascinated by her craftiness. She could make just about anything. So once upon a time, thanks to Granny, I made a scarf or two. It had been so many years since I had knitted that I forgot how to "cast on"-or begin the whole process. So Perry Ann and I went to breakfast last week and she helped to re-ignite my desire for craftiness. She reminded me how to cast on. And here are the results friends.....

Meet Perry Ann(They don't get cuter than this)















Project # 1: A scarf for an undecided person (still a work in progress)















Project #2: I decided half way through Project # 1 that I now need to learn to crochet. Here's my first crochet project. It's a scarf (go figure :)) for my 4 year old niece, Kaylee. :)















Project # 3: No, no no, this is not a third scarf!!! This is my first ever baby blanket. Baby Culin is due any day and I'm going to be ready to wrap him up when he gets here!! I may just be slow b/c I'm new at the crocheting business...this has taken me about 10 hours to make :) ...Nothin' but love for the new baby. :)

Signs that it's time to create your own blog

The truth about this blog is that I haven't actually written anything on it yet. I'm not too technologically savy, but I decided I needed a blog since Alyssa had one. (it's the whole little sister wanting to be like big sister thing) So I created one the other night and then went to sleep. Woke up in the morning to find my husband had posted a picture of himself on my blog page and had written a few sweet things about himself. He did the wedding "not enough ways to say thanks" post too. I think it's sign number one that he needs his own blog site. He insists that he doesn't. Wouldn't you say that staying up until midnight and 1:00 am(check out the times of the previous posts) pretending to be your wife and posting blogs on her page is a sign you need you own blog? Sign number two: I came home from work Friday night and Eddie had told me he'd done some "research" on blogging and "successful bloggers". He proceeded to inform me on the importance of having a visually stimulating page(e.g. pictures, videos), blogging often so that blog viewers do not lose interest, and not being too long-winded in your blogs (a obvious problem for me as you can see....). Sign number three: We come home this afternoon after church and Eddie asks/says, "Have you even blogged on your own blog yet? What's the point of having a blog if you don't blog? You should go blog something now." He seems very concerned about the success or failure of this new endeavor. I however, am just very impressed that there is a web page in existence with my name as the address. How cool is that? Anybody else out there think my husband needs a blog?? :) I'm hoping he'll be impressed with my first entry....

Not enough ways to say thanks

Married life is definitely awesome. But I think of of the most amazing things was to sit back and see how loved we are. So many people poured hours, dollars, and incredible prayers into our wedding and into us. Thank you so much for being a part of the process, the day, and our lives. And thanks Daniel for capturing the awesome day through the eye of a lens... or 10.

My Husband

He has to be the greatest one ever. Not only is he incredibly handsome but he stays up late to make my blog look pretty. I love him sooo much!
