Grandma's Birthday

Today was Jason's Grandma's birthday she turned 76 today. SO All of her children and their children who live close by travelled up to Aunt Helens and had a party. Of course we were all required to bring a little something. So I called Trixie up last week and I asked her how to make something small and simple and she gave me a recipe, well it turns out it tastes great and I did not fail at either. Here is Jason enjoying our wonderful pasta salad.

Once we got there Aunt Helen has a wii, althoug Jason and I did not play with it still looked like fun. Maya Jason's neice had a blast as she was dancing along.

Then we have Jason's twin uncles dancing along too, it was hilarious to watch.

Well fun was had by all, and we cant wait for the next big party. We close on our house this week, and I have a job interview this week. So hopefully all goes well. Jasons cousing Jeremy's wife is having troubles in her pregancy and is in the hospital so our prayers are going out to her so that she can make it to her final weeks in pregnancy.

Our APT

So everyone that is far away and pretty much everyone close has never seen our Apartment so let me give you a virtual tour of the apartment i have been spending a lot more time in than i would like to be, but at least i have somewhere to be.

To start off this is our living room we have a couch thanks to aunt sandra and uncle tom a tv and tv stand thanks to jason's parents and a dvd player thanks to them as well too.

This is our beautiful dining room, and our table it has four chairs but we use the other chair for our desk, and thanks to grandma b for our table you never know how much you sue a table tell you dont have one.

I wish i could claim this as a spacious kitchen but it has everything we need and it doesnt need to big for just the two of us. and yes i have picked up my family trait of piling papers on any flat surface as soon as you walk in the door. :)


So this is our bed in bedroom. The quilt is from Jasons aunt sandra. We also have two dressers you cant see and a walk in closet, sometimes i wonder how two people can have so many clothes.


This is what i call Jasons desk for world of war craft it is the cornor of our living room, also that is the wall hanging aunt jeanine gave me for christmas, i will find a better home for it when we move into our house, but for now it just makes me think of the family and smile.

So this the outside of our apartment we are in 5302 D it is the top floor. Right now it sucks cause there is so much snow on the stairs, but alas this is home. So to continue on our journey here in Fredericksburg we have had more snow than they have had in a long time, Jason's family blames me, but it is crazy we have had two snow storms already and we are supposed to get another foot tonight, but here is it what it looks like in front of our apt, it makes it difficult walking around. Last Saturday Jasons whole family got together in memory of their brother Luke at their parents house and we played in the snow Jason made this awesome snow cave which looks like it wont be melting for awhile, sorry dont have a picture of that, but maybe soon.


Also i promised this awhile ago but i have my camera and it is very much in use now so here is the jean blanket i made for jason for Christmas. thanks to mom grandma and aunt lori, you guys are amazing.


I also want to thank everyone who taught me some mad sewing skills cause now i am using them to teach my new sister in laws how to sew curtains and everything. it is nice to be one knows a lot of things and I love that they value my expert opinion. Still no job, but i know it is part of the Lord's plan and i must have faith i will get a job when he needs me to in the mean time i am helping Jason's family in whatever way i can and reading some books :)....
