Consuming My Time {01.23.2013}
Well we've made it to the middle of the week! If you're like me, then you have probably been waiting for the weekend to come. Although I'm not quite sure why because Saturdays Erik works so I basically sit alone at home waiting for him to get off. But not this weekend, this weekend I am going shopping and I am so excited! New shoes and new clothes, what girl wouldn't be excited about that?
I feel like I don't get to update our blog as much as I would like to but that's because I barely have enough time when I get home. Let me take you through a normal day in our house....
Chocolate, Work & Our Life As We Love It!! 01.19.2013
I hope your weekend is bringing you happiness and sunshine.
This weather week in Houston has been crazy! With one day hot, one day ice on our cars and now a beautiful sunny Saturday all in one week, I'm bound to have a story for you! Well first let me start by saying I OFFICIALLY LOVE CHOCOLATE! I used to hate it. I'd take a bite and it would just make me so thirsty- blah! But then, a co-worker of mine brought dark chocolate mini Hershey bars in and I went to town! I ate piece after piece after piece. It was so yummy! I was shocked with myself because for years I tried to eat chocolate but it never got my taste buds moving until now. So I guess you could say I am like a die hard chocolate fan-yay! All yummy chocolates aside, I was super busy at work this week. My desk was over flowing with papers on-top papers and assignment following assignment. I felt like I was never going to get it done, but no worries, I got all of it done :) Erik has been busy at work as well. Right now they are working on a building and they have to have all the welding and piping done in less than 2 months! I don't know how they do it, but they make sure it gets done on time. This past Friday, Erik and I were in need of some groceries, we finally joined Sam's club and we are so in love. The prices are great and we can buy in bulk which means it lasts much longer. Oh Sam's club, you can do no wrong-hehe. So Erik and I have been needing some high quality photos taken because our engagement pictures are average, our wedding pictures are average and the only phenomenal photos we have are of us going to Prom and we certainly don't look the same anymore. So I found this outstanding photographer and we are scheduled to snap shots in February. Oh I can't wait!! And in the mean time, we trying to eat right and I'm working on my smile so that its perfected when picture time comes. Not to mention, it seems like the months are flying by! What happened to December? That came and went in a FLASH! Guess its true, once your out of High school time just keeps on keeping on. Recently, we've been thinking more and more about adoption. Maybe it's because my 21st birthday is around he corner somewhere, or maybe it's just that baby-fever is hitting us hard. Well whatever the reason, it's been the topic of our conversations for more than a week now. We've even started applying for adoption, just to get the ball rolling. It's pretty exciting to read about and dream about but also very nerve-racking because we have no control over anything when it comes to adoption. We're hoping to hear from someone soon, but until then, we're keeping God beside us and praying he answers us. Oh, I can't forget to mention our year anniversary which is less than 5 months away!!! Pretty darn exciting if you ask me. Still hard to believe its been almost a year but, Amen, it feels good to be in love. What's that song, "you look so good in love?" That song is exactly how I feel! We've been looking on Groupon everyday trying to find a good deal on a trip. We aren't looking to stay long, we are thinking about leaving Thursday night, May 23rd, and return Monday night, May 27. Since Mothers Day falls on our actual anniversary and there's no day off until May 27th, we decided to push it back so we could get an extra day and not miss Mothers Day. I guess we would be gone for 4 nights and 5 days. It'll be quick but it will be a nice little getaway for our anniversary. We are still actively trying to conceive and hopefully we will get a positive pregnancy test in the next few weeks or months. It's definitely a lot harder then we thought. We were told all our lives how easy it is to get pregnant young, but we've had no luck whatsoever. I guess that's how it works sometimes. We are still keeping our heads up, enjoying the journey and we continue to pray that God will give us the gift of a healthy miracle baby. Other than that, not much else is going on. We are looking forward to church tomorrow and I guess no football now that the Texans are out of the playoffs. But, we can't complain, they gave us a GREAT season! Way to go boys!!!
God bless,
Megan

What a wonderful week!! 01.12.2013
Where do I start?
This week has just been full of excitement and fun!! Let's start from the beginning....
Monday morning Erik got a call from his work saying he passed his test and would start his new "better paying" job Wednesday. Tuesday showed up and I had something like a period which was so great because for the longest time I hadn't had one. I'm hoping that the vitamins I've been taking (Folic acid, Prenatal and Fish Oil) are helping and that next month my period will arrive on time. Wednesday Erik started his new job at 5am!! He said that he doesn't like waking up early but that he loves the money and that's why he's working hard :) Thursday was Newsletter day at my job and I was waiting for my turn to be in the "getting to know ..." section and my luck, I was chosen to do it! It was really fun writing about things important to me and everyone got a few laughs from what I said. Friday finally arrived and it was wonderful!!! It started with a HUGE Happy Birthday to Baby Colton who turned 1! Boy the cake looked sweet, after he took a bite, he made a cute sour face. At work I got the "spot on" award which is where every week one person is spot-lighted for working hard. It came as a total shock but I was super happy to get it!! Friday night Erik and I celebrated our wonderful week with a nice dinner at Texas Roundhouse. It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful and busy week. Today I'm trying to look at rental homes and then hopefully find something to spend my $25 gift card on-hehe. I'm looking forward to praising God tomorrow and believe me he deserves lots of praises!!! AND, DON'T FORGET, Go Texan Day!!!!! Where your Texans colors proudly as they get ready for their 2nd playoff game.
I hope you all have had a good week and I hope your weekend is amazing!! I look forward to posting tomorrow.
Enjoy the pictures, Happy Saturday and God Bless you

Total happiness!! 01.07.2013
Oh my goodness yall, it has been a wonderful week!!
Where do I begin!!! Saturday Erik got new glasses and during his appointment, we messed around and snapped some pictures. Afterwards, we met with his parents to eat lunch at Willie's and shortly after, Erik and I we were super lucky enough to grab tickets to the Texans playoff game. Sunday morning we got up went to church and praised God! After church, we met up with Eriks aunt, mom, dad, and two cousins at Rudys for some much needed yummilicious lunch. Monday morning Erik got a call from his job saying he passed his test for work and is being promoted! He starts his new job bright and early tomorrow at 5am. He is so nervous but very excited- like a kid going to school. Soo I've been saying I want to post photos of my desk at work and I have been forgetting about it but I finally got some pictures today. Tonight I made some delicious food with the help of my hubby. We made rice-a-roni chicken flavor, Cajun seasoned French Fries and {my secret recipe} caramelized chicken. Oh-muh-gosh it was the best dinner ever!!! I made cookie-cakes for dessert- YUM!!! This Friday we are looking forward to baby Coltons 1st birthday. Oh, I can't forget to mention my love for my new phone which takes AMAZINGLY clear photos... the photos you will see are taken by my phone {Erik & I got matching HTC phones with our AT&T upgrades-yay}. So I guess you could say there are lots of really exciting things going on and everything seems to be moving along smoothly and wonderfully for the start of 2013.
