blog...clog...???

So, I don't know what the heck is going on, but I can't seem to get my pictures to add to my blog posts. That is why I haven't been posting, I have short ones from Thanksgiving and Christmas. And now our wedding and vacation! This is getting VERY frustrating! So I guess I will put the posts that wont add pictures on to this post, and try again with wedding and vacation pics. I do have wedding and vacation pics added onto my facebook page if you are wanting to see them.






On a different note of "what is going on in our lives". Well, not a lot since we got back from the Bahamas. Just trying to settle back into work and home. I have caught up on cleaning and laundry.... but haven't put it away. And the Christmas lights are still on the house, but in Mike's defense it hasn't been warm enough for him to do it. The couple of warm days we had he wasn't home early .






So here are my blogs that I couldn't get pictures to load into, mainly because I am sick of having them just sitting there. (not that there is any riveting information in them)


Thanksgiving:
Yikes! No blogging since October 29...oops :) Well I guess nothing to eventful has happened here in the Welch house. I have been playing with the new camera we purchased after the wedding. I had been saving $5 target gift cards and we also used the gift cards we received as wedding gifts. We went to my parent's house for Thanksgiving and in the tradition my mom and I headed to Fargo for Black Friday shopping!!! Other then that nothing really went on in November, so here are a few pics I snapped during dinner prep.




Christmas:
HOHOHO! (ok I know I am really late) Christmas was wonderful, Mike and I spent Christmas eve with his family at his brother and sister-in-laws house. After dinner and gifts with them we headed down to my parent's house, when we got there everyone but my dad was in bed. We unloaded the car and headed to bed because of course the kids would all be up early. Christmas morning was as usual crazy! stockings, gifts and food. The day was wonderful. I didn't get many pictures because of course I didn't bring my battery charger for my camera and it died before we went through our stockings..... :/ But here are the few my dad and I took.

works in progress

  Well nothing BIG has been going on here. But I have been working on organization problems around the house. The bedroom off the garage has been a catch all since we moved in, first boxes, then wedding stuff. Now old stuff I am selling on bisman & FB rummage sales, the DVDs that are waiting for their home to be built and stuff of my parent's that I need to get back to them. I am working on getting that room cleaned and organized.
   The kitchen is an ongoing organization project, especially since we got a new stove! The cooking capacity is huge, but the drawer under it is tiny.
    I got all my scrapbook supplies brought in to the house from the garage and organized into a cabinet! hopefully with this done I will be able to work on scrapbooking since I haven't finished the one for 2012, and haven't started one for 2013..... hmmm I better get going before more projects start piling up.
   Our freezers also got an over haul. After last weeks trip to Sam's and Mike coming in from the garage saying the deep freeze was full, and me not really knowing what was in there. Mike's family also just butchered a cow so we needed room for beef. I decided that's it, and pulled everything out. I found a few freezer burned things, lots of green beans and a lot of things I forgot about.
   I know exciting right....holy poop... I am an adult haha being excited about organizing and a new stove. Blogger isn't letting me put pictures in so I can't add my stove or organizing mania. I also have a turkey day and Christmas blog waiting to publish when my pics will load.
***Happy Sunday***

....ahhh memory lane. I had planned on making a photo book from that vacation, well I am working on it and sadly haven't finished it. The whole home buying and getting married thing got in the way. I only have about 150 pictures left to place, out of almost 4,000 isn't to bad.
  Finishing our Dominican book isn't the only thing I have to get done before we leave, we have to get the house ready to leave for a week. Mike's family will be checking on the cats but I hate leaving a messy house and coming back to one is even worse. We also have to go through our summer clothes and make sure we have a weeks worth that fit to pack (haha wish us luck, especially Mike since he hasn't had the shorts on in over a year). Buy the travel items we will need. Purchase some underwater cameras. I got two for last year and wished I would have had at least one more. They were just disposable but the pictures were great. Decide on what suitcases to take, last year 2 got broken, wash and pack everything.
  I am excited to have a new camera to take with. And plan on blogging a little while we are there. I liked the daily review and picture I posted when we got home last year and will do it again....for anyone who cares lol
