Perks

One of the many perks of marrying Brian is becoming the aunt to these 3 cute girls. Granted, the youngest one is not my biggest fan because, before I came along, Brian was her man and she shared him with no one. She did let me hold her on Friday though which is a huge deal! The oldest two happen to adore me so it makes up for it. The oldest one keeps asking me if I am really her aunt now and when I say yes, she gets all giddy. The middle one is always telling me how funny I am and, from what I heard, talks to me all the time on her fake cell phone. It is such a tough life to be so adored ;)

Sheepy

This is the story of a little stuffed animal named Sheepy. He used to be full of fluff and white as can be, but now he/she (depending on the day) is off white with almost no fluff left. He has something a lot better than fluff...he has the love of a little 2 year old named Mary Deane! Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, he got to be in the Jones family picture because he is loved by the Jones family.

Every time that I skype with MD, I have to say hello to sheepy and she tells me how sheepy is doing. Sometimes I even get to say "Sweet dreams" to sheepy too. I love that little thing like he is one of my nieces/nephews (depending on the day).

So there you have it, you now know the story of sheepy, oh, and you get to see an adorable picture of my whole family too!

P.S. I think it is hilarious that the photographer had to keep my mom smiling instead of the two children. Good times!

Brian's 2nd love!

It has been so endearing to watch Brian care for this fragile little tomato plant. He wakes up every morning and will not let himself forget to water it before he leaves for the day. He talks to it while he is watering it and tells it how beautiful it is getting. Yesterday I got a panicked text begging me to please water his plant because he forgot to! I had to chuckle. At least I know he is able to care for something else with so much love. It has given me a small glimpse into the kind of father he is going to be someday and it makes me love him even more.

The new addition to our home

Thanks to Brian's mom helping, we have a new fridge! It is sooooo much better than our old fridge. The old fridge was older than I am and froze everything in the fridge. This one has so much more room and is nicer looking.
Oh and in case you were wondering, married life is AMAZING! We don't see much of each other actually so some days it still feels like I am single. In a couple of weeks though, that will change because I will be out of school and Brian will be home studying for his big board exam.
I have started my masters and am always doing homework, but at least at the end of this week, I can do homework at home and get stuff done around the house, like maybe actually put away our wedding gifts!
