Our "new" vehicle

Well, it is not the brand new Jeep Sahara I wanted, but it will have to do. Yesterday Rita and I bought a used Chevy Silverado 1500. It has 165,000 miles but is in very good condition and we only paid $2,000 for it. I hope to get a couple years and 20,000 miles out of it and I will be happy.

Our New Home

So I’m finally getting around to posting some pictures of our new house. If you haven’t head in November Arnie and I purchased a used modular home and had it moved to the Griepentrog family Farm. So here are some pictures:

Massage Room and my office.


Other then settling in we are happy to say Arnie is back to work after being laid off since thanksgiving and we are settling into a new routine.

Oliver will be two on Saturday (where dose the time go?) and he is growing big and loves to get into trouble by climbing on everything he can. He also loves to play “night night” where he and Mommy have to go lay down in his bed cover up with blankets close our eyes and snore. Other then chasing after Oliver I have been having fun doing more stamping and am hoping to have more stamping parties this year to bring in a little extra cash.

God Bless,

Katie

Married!

Well let me start by saying: Aunt Rita you are on top of things! You're one step ahead of me and got to the blog before I could. (But that's totally ok) Anyway, Brian and I did indeed get married on Friday, February 20th, 2009. Yay! Don't worry we didn't really have a "ceremony" or anything that any of you missed out on. We Eloped! We were in the process of planning something small and decided why have the slightest headache over something that's suppose to be totally enjoyable. So we surprised everyone instead. We went to a court commissioner in Burlington and had one of my best friends, Erica, and Brian's best friend, Brian, (yep I typed that right) as our "witnesses." It was very simple but that's just what we wanted. We are so completely happy and i'm now a Mrs.Storey! Woo hoo!!

Hope all is well. Love you all! :)

Love, Bren

TGIM... Thank Goodness it's Monday! ☺

Happy Monday Everybody!

For most people, Mondays are a real drag... but I love Mondays! With my E-bay business, all weekend long sales come in, so Monday mornings are spent in "Pack & Ship" mode. And it's so much fun... lots of bubble envelopes and packing tape, but oh, so much fun.

I just wanted to let you all know I just put a new post out on my jewelry blog! I was asked by a buyer of mine on e-bay to create a custom pair of earrings for her. So I did and since I was at it, I just kept on going.

Take a look, and feel free to post comments! http://designsbydawnmarie.blogspot.com/

I've found an even better site for selling the jewelry than e-bay. It's specifically created for selling things that are hand made... whether sewing, painting, cross-stitching or whatever your craft is. This online store is just for that type of thing! If you're interested, drop me an e-mail and I'll shoot you a link so you can check it out!

Lots of Love to all!

Congratulations and WHAT!?

Let me be the first to blog my congratulations to Brenda and Brian on their marriage yesterday. However, I cannot believe I learned about this through the internet. So, when, where, how, give me details and photos. Who was there? What did you wear? Will we be able to celebrate this occasion together? Where can I send a gift? What would you like? Do I still get to buy a new dress, even though I wasn't invited?

Sincerely, I wish you both all the happiness that marriage brings and a long life together. Fill us all in on the details.

God Bless your marriage and your family,
Love,
Aunt Rita
