My Noticings:

Yes I know that is not even a word, but I just wanted to talk about all the little things I have NOTICED these past few weeks.

1. I am getting used to working 11 to 12 hour days and going over an insane amount of minutes on my cell phone. Yeah for Verizon!
2. I can’t handle when husband gets down. I don’t feel like I am strong enough to pick him back up!
3. Short Sales are awful!! But, I think I am becoming an expert at them so just let me know if you need any help. I have found a few favorite banks!
4. By the end of my day I come home to my husband looking like a HAG! I wish I could come home like Mary Poppins! Hair perfectly placed, not like my pony tail with fifty bobby pins. Make-up as fresh as the moment you put it on…weird cause I leave with make up on but when I get home I swear I’m not wearing any! Clothes neatly pressed, not me! I am running around all day, sitting, and spilling things all over myself. Super positive and happy, well I try to be but I have my down days. 
5. I think I have become best friends with the drive through window people at Wendy’s….Sad and sick at the same time!
6. I have officially been off Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper for two months, and I don’t even miss it! These days I’m a water, fruit punch, and lemonade lady.
7. I am in dire need of the sun! My skin is glowing and every blemish on my face is just adding something fabulous to it! I vowed I would never go to a tanning bed, so I have to stick with it! So far so good!
8. I am a really good cook, surprisingly! It’s been two weeks of great meals and my husband has eaten everything! He is super picky and he hasn’t said anything bad yet! I remain silent while watching my husband take the first bite followed by the swallow. He usually smiles and continues eating which means I’m in the clear.
9. Husband and I have become super handy and we love painting our furniture…particularly black. Quite fun!
10. I have taken more cold showers these past few weeks then I have in my entire life, except for when I was in Africa. But, it was so hot outside so I didn’t’ really mind the cold water.
11. Without husband I would be a wreck, he is the ONLY one who can make everything better, thank heavens!
12. I never thought I would be going to my “old make out spot” to look at houses. Funny cause when I used to go there, there were no houses for miles. Crazy how the building industry just boomed!!
13. I have finally learned how to sew! I had my Mom teach me how to use a sewing machine and how to sew by hand. Husband is actually pretty impressed and I must admit I am too!
14. I’ve become super baby hungry!! Just cause I work with this cute girl who has the best baby! She brings cute Ty in with her and I can’t get enough of the little guy spitting up, pooping, and smiling like crazy!!
15. Lastly I am so lucky to be where I am in life and to be enjoying all these little noticings! I pretty much LOVE my life! I think 2009 is going to be a very fun and exciting year for the Snow household.

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE........................

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”

CHOCOLATE COVERED GRAPES!!! These delectable sweet treats were introduced to Jeff and I last Valentine’s Day. WE immediately fell in LOVE!!! I decided that this year wouldn’t be the same without them. Friday morning I made my drive to Cummings only to find a super full parking lot with police patrol. I walked into the chocolate store and standing right before me was a red post saying “Please Take a Number” who would have thought???? Taking a number in a chocolate store…. police patrol….Crazy! Jeff and I both agree that those juicy little buggers smothered in chocolate were well worth the wait! To celebrate LOVE day we decided on a downtown holiday getaway at Little America. It was absolutely PERFECT!! I am so lucky to be so in love!

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our dancing skills the DIP!

The Girls in the tank...so cool!

It was freezing!

We were lucky enough to go to our friend Matt Tillotson's cabin up in Oakley for New Year's Eve! We ate, went snowmobiling, explored the huge cabins, had a dance party, and watched the most amazing display of fireworks! It was a very fun filled night with our friends! We love you all so much! It's crazy that 2008 is over and it's fun to reflect back on all the fun memories throughout the year. Here's to a happy, healthy, succesful year in 2009! Love Jeff and Linz

My cute sister in-law Megan Goodfellow is having a baby boy on February 20th. John and Meg came up for Christmas so we thought it would be the perfect time to throw a family/friend shower for her. We had so much fun planning it! We can't wait to see this handsome little guy! Kristin thanks for all your help! I'm so glad I was able to see you and that I'll ALWAYS get to see you!

This year was mine and Jeff's third Christmas together........how fast time goes by! Ever since I can remember we have had a large dinner party at my parent's home on Christmas Eve. My dad makes his famous spaghetti and meatballs and invisible shrimp scampi. It's always a crowd favorite, we pretty much eat till we're sick! For the past three years Jeff and I have slept over at my parent's on Christmas Eve and then have woken up and opened presents with them on Christmas morning. After presents we headed out to the Hancock's/Hawkins' home (my sister's in-laws) for our ten year tradition where we have a gourmet breakfast in our jammies. So YUMMY! Christmas day is spent with the Snow family. We usually meet up around 1:00 or so and open up presents together. Christmas day is filled with movies, food, and games till the wee hours of the night. We had a fabulous Christmas with our families!

Holiday Fun

Jeff and I

Priscila and Chad

Nikki and Mike (my cute cousin)

Matt and Brittany

We had a little dinner at Chili's then headed out to make our gingerbread houses. After the decorating we played a very INTENSE game of Catch Phrase. Honestly it was a heated game of boys against girls. The girls killed the boys 7-0 the first game! But in the end the boys won, thank heavens cause husbands, boyfriends, and fiance's are so mean when they aren't winning! ha ha ha! Thanks for such a fun night friends and all the trivia about Rocky, I really learned way too much!

It's Official......Britt is joining our FAMILY

The "YES" was sealed with a kiss

I am very late on this post, but since this is my journal I needed to add it. The day before Thanksgiving Matt (Jeff's little brother) proposed to his high school sweetheart Brittany Johnson. Jeff and I were lucky enough to help out with the proposal setting. We are so excited for them and can't wait for the big day which is coming super fast! Britt and Matt we love you both more then you'll ever know! We always have the BEST time with you guys. You are a darling couple and compliment each other so well. It's been so fun watching you guys fall more in love! We are so grateful to have you in our lives!
