Wonderful Day.

I had the day off Wednesday, so I headed to Nashville to see my parents. I was in desperate need of some mom time and dad pestering and just to hang out with my sister. When I got to mom and dads, my mom was making a awesome lunch that consisted of roast, black eyed peas with homemade tomato relish, okra, corn and, Oh my goodness! buttermilk corn bread. After lunch I think my body wanted to go into a food coma I was ready for a nap. I got to go to the hardware store with dad in the new truck they got. It was fun to hang out with dad even though it was for just 20 minutes. It sounds silly that I got excited to go just down the road with dad but, when you live 2 hours away the time I get to spend with family is precious. It snowed while I was there it was beautiful. I was glad when it mostly melted when I got ready to go home, not that getting stuck at my parents house would have been a bad thing.

I like to brag on my wonderful husband whenever I can so here it goes. When I got home last night he had dinner almost done. It was very yummy he made baby back ribs, mashed potatoes and, of course green beans. He said it was our seventh month on being married so he wanted to cook something good and celebrate a little. Since we have been married we have tried to do something a little special every month on the 28th. Whether it is cooking a nice dinner or going out to do something out of the ordinary. I know it sounds sort of silly but, we both enjoy it. What a wonderful day God blessed me with.

Cruise News

I retract the previous statement we will not be going to Nassau, Bahamas, St. Thomas or
St. Martin. Rather to Half Moon Cay, Bahamas; St. Thomas; San Juan, Puerto Rico; also
Grand Turk. We are so EXCITED!!! We will leave from Miami which is really cool, Stephen and I have never been there, so it will be a new experience for the both of us. We won't get to stay the night in Miami, we will have fly to and from; before and after we get off the ship. All is well though, I'm sure we will be ready to get back home after being gone for seven days.

We are so stoked and ready to go right now!!

Oh! The picture below is Coki Beach

in St. Thomas, it looks amazing. I can just imagine that that water being very warm.

GORGEOUS!!!!

CRUISE!!!!!!

I think Iam driving not only Stephen crazy but, everyone else. Stephen informed me that we were going try to book a cruise for August at the first of February. Well... Ever since he told me that I have been listening to some Bob Marley music, looking up bathing suits, dresses, and what excursions that we would like to go on. I can not help myself Im just so so so EXCITED, it is no where near time to go we have seven months left to plan.

We would be going on a seven day to; Nassau, Bahamas, St. Thomas, St. Martin/Marteen.
I tell you what though, cruising is the best vacation you could go on. Just the thought of being out in the middle of the ocean on a boat with no cell phones, NO computer or Internet unless you pay for it and who would want be on the computer/Internet when there is so much to do. NO BOSSES!!!! It is just you with the one you love relaxing, soaking up the sun, eating more than you could ever think of eating, and smoothie drinking. MAN IM JUST TO EXCITED!!!!!!!

MEET ELIJAH!!!

Stephen and I are a aunt and uncle again as of Monday morning at 7:22 am. This is Elijah Gene Wheeler he weighed 8lbs. 10 oz, 20in long when he entered the world. He is the most precious beautiful baby boy I have ever seen, it almost makes you want one of your own. HaHa Sorry, mom and dad not for a few more years. Linsey had to have a C-Section but is doing very well. They get to go home today, I think Carson will be glad, Linsey said he is so confused with everything. He thinks baby Eli will live at the hospital and is having trouble with his mommy not being able to get up and move around. It is going to be interesting to see how

Carson does with his new brother.

Everyone is so excited that Elijah is here finally.

She was ready.

The family waiting

I'm going to be a big brother!?

Prepped and ready to go.

I think this is so sweet. He likes to blow bubbles.


Sleepy time.

Christmas Pictures, Finally

Sorry, it has taken so long to get some Christmas pictures up and going. I never really thought about it but, a digital camera is so much easier to use than those one time disposable cameras.
I am really hoping that my handsome, very loving, sweet, husband will get me one for my b-day that is coming up in about 4 weeks wink. wink.
We finally got our kitchen table up, it looks beautiful. Stephen had a time with putting it together piece by piece, I tried to help as much as I could but, the table is so heavy. For Christmas Eve we really didn't do a whole lot, I had to work until 2 which was crappy since I had a million and one things to do. We spent some time with Stephens brother and sister-in law, also with the cutest kid ever our sweet nephew Carson. Finally when all that was over with we went home to get started on preparing Christmas day lunch. I think we prepared and cooked until mid-night. Thank God for cell phones, my mother is so wonderful and patient, I think I called her a good 20 time Christmas Eve asking how do you this and that. Oh! Turkeys are nasty. I was not really aware that you had to stick your hand in its behind and pull out a turkey neck. Why do they put a turkey neck with the turkey? Do people actually eat it? Also a liver looking thing, along with a bag of yuck. (I used tongs instead) It was new experience to me, Stephen had a ball with it he laughed and laughed about it, only because he wasn't the one who had to clean the bird.

Christmas Day morning was so much fun we got up at 5: 45 opened all the present we got each other. Then Stephen made us omelets they were sooooo good. After breakfast it was off to cooking again, I do have to stop and brag for a moment MY wonderful husband stood by me all day long asking "what can I do", he even cooked a little, so I could go sit down for a bit. We ate about 1:30 it was so weird not to be with my family on Christmas day but, I guess that is how it is when you live 2 hours way. Next year we will spend Christmas with my parents which will be awesome. Oh, yes we did play a game, just the one I got Stephen for Christmas. I was so very happy that everything went smooth. I'm not to sure that this will be a yearly thing but, it was fun while it lasted.

I got a beautiful jewelery box.

He was proud of his gun cleaning kit.

I didn't really wrap this one



He is a Manly Man.

No I did not get a gingerbread house.

I got a massage which will be used this Saturday.
I also got some Dolche and Gabbana Light Blue perfume that stuff smells amazing.

CLUE!!!

6 Whole Months YAY!!!

The Wheelers have officially celebrated their six month anniversary. We celebrated by going to one of our favorite restaurants and to a movie, nothing to big, we are saving that for our one year. Oh, we also were a little embarrassed by Brother David, Sunday in Church. It was not so bad it was actually funny. Meagan sat with us, which was a joy, well she leaned over to tell me that he was going to say something about being married for 6 months before my face got to red but, she was to late. I do have to say that the last six months have been such a blessing. Each day I seem to grow, more and more in love with my wonderful husband. I am sure the way I feel now for my love will be completely different in six months. Deeper? Stronger? It does not matter we are enjoying every bit of life together.

I am Freaking Out!!!

I am freaking out real bad. I think I have lost my ever loving mind. A couple of months ago I suggested to my wonderful husband that it would be fun to invite both of our families
( parents/brothers/sisters) to our house for Christmas dinner, no biggie right? Wrong,
all wrong, instead of my enjoyable, fun family who will not be joining us for this wonderful time of the year, Stephens family will be, ALL OF THEM. I don't know what I am going to do, I have never done this kind of thing. I really wish I had my family here to keep me company. I'm sure we will have a great time, it's just the thing of as soon as we get done eating in know how it is going to go. I am going to be left alone with all the cleaning, my mother-in-law and Stephens grandmother possibly Aunt to play rook or Scrabble or some other silly game in which I care nothing about, all the while Stephen, his father, Grandfather and brother maybe cousins, will be out side throwing football without a care in the world. I really do have wonderful in-laws promise I just get tired sometimes. All that aside, I am super happy that I get to spend Christmas morning with my handsome husband. I'm very eager to get up on Christmas morning together open all the presents we got each other, eat a wonderful light Christmas breakfast before all the chaos starts. Please pray I do not lose my sanity. I have my hands full.

Oh do any of you know of any activities to do as a group besides playing rook?
