Exciting News!

Josh was promoted this week!!! He is now that Purse Ops Manager for Kohl's. It's basically the position in the store that is in charge of the personnel (and all that comes with that, like hiring, scheduling, reviews etc.), the cash office, credit and best of all, it pretty much gets him off of the sales floor! He's excited for the position and all that will come with it, so I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! He deserves it and it was actually very telling that he was approached about it before he even inquired...just goes to show you how amazing he is! :) He would never toot his own horn, so I had to do it for him!

Some Kowe pics

Here's Kowe's favorite spot to be while we're online... ...and while I'm folding clothes. Whether it's on the bed or on the couch, she has to find a spot right on all the clothes to cuddle...then I have to work my way around her...
There's nothing much going on around here, so I thought I'd post some pics of Kowe.

Happy New Year!!!

This year, for New Year's, we decided to make a trip back to Cracker's Comedy Club in Indy. We went with Shell and Dan, and just two years ago, we rang in 2005 at this same place. My, how things have changed! Here is a picture that Shell took in pretty much the same exact place 2 years ago... And here we were this year...Shell and DannyI told Josh that since this would probably (hopefully) be the last big night out that I get before we get pregnant, I was going to have FUN! And I did. Plus, Josh had to work at 6am this morning, so he wasn't planning on drinking, so it worked out that Shell and I could actually drink together! It didn't take much...Shell and Dan right before the midnight champagne toastAll of us right after ringing in the New YearAnd we all planned on getting Hot Dog Man hotdogs afterward, but somehow Dan was the only one still in the mood...Josh and I leaving the club....welcome 2007!!!!

We're so excited for 2007! It is looking to be a fabulous year for us, with some exciting trips planned and with hopefully being able to welcome a new member to the family in the year to come. We're thankful for our friends and family and we look forward to an amazing year to top 2006! We've got our resolutions all set, so here's hoping we keep them!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
