Back at it...Getting caught up!

Hey Everyone, I noticed it has been quite awhile since I have written and there is alot to catch up on. My mind has been spinning with a ton of thoughts,questions,and a good "Ashley" sermon or two. I thought the only way to get everything organized was to start blogging and I have decided that I will blog once a week at the least. I work part time for crying out loud! Whether it is a recipe or a thought I shall post it. Since, I last wrote Charlie and I have been on our honeymoon, a vacation,added another kitty, and got pregnant. Yes you read right. Charlie and I are expecting the end of January. We are both very excited and can't wait till the baby is here. Since we have to wait we are enjoying the different stages of pregnancy. I am 21 weeks now and our favorite thing right now is feeling the baby move around. It is an amazing feeling...(most of the time) lol So, I guess that is our biggest news...on the small news front we have a new kitty that joined our home the beginning of the Summer. His name is Zeus and he is a little orange striped kitty that loves to chase his tail, eat and catch large bugs, and yell when Zoey takes off. They (the cats bring great entertainment to our lives) We are still adjusting to living so far from family and friends. Don't get me wrong we have friends up here but there is nothing like your best girlfriend living 20min away and now she lives 2 hours away. It has taking some getting used to but we are slowly trying. We like routine so if its not on the schedule we dont tend to jump up and go somewhere. Charlie and I have signed up once again for volleyball. A good excuse to get out and get some fun exercise. I do mean fun...lol Planet Fitness just doesn't cut the "fun" exercise part.We also decided, actually, we were forced to cancel all volleyball back home. Our team kind of disbanned and we couldn't find replacements. Its for the best I think. Being as far along as I am it wouldnt be wise. (so we tell ourselves...) Let's see what else...Charlie is doing wonderful at his job he loves it. We have traveled to Cancun for our honeymoon; which was FANTASTIC! I wont bore you with the details...I'll post pitures. :) We also took a trip in August to Grand Rapids, SD with my in laws. We drove out there with the motorycles and got to see alot of the cool sights out there..(It was bike week; need I say more.) Right now...we are canning our mini harvest and/or whatever veggies and fruit we can get. So far, we have salsa,tomato sauce, and applesauce.Yummy! We are also tryig to figure out freezer meals for when the baby comes...but thats not for awhile.. I love preparing and storing for our little family..maybe its nesting kicking..I dont know but I love it... I guess thats it for now. I shall post some pictures of our Spring and Summer and then you shall be caught up. We aren't that exciting....
