Picture of my sweet Mckenzie fast asleep on me after we went and visited the house and she played in the park.


Me as a Magic Dancer (2003-2004). On Saturday night we went to a game and it was the first time I actually missed dancing. It was a fun season in my life.

Um...I think that is it for now. Everything is really coming together now. Obviously we are VERY EXCITED! We locked in our interest rate last week also. Now we can start buying stuff for the house. YEAH!!!

I've got lots of pictures that I'll try to upload soon.

kristy chowning

for all of you who know her, isn't she just great?! yesterday we drove together to jen's bridal shower and we got to talk for about an hour. cameron and i are thinking about going to an infertility specialist since we have not been able to get pregnant yet. since kristy and kyle have been going through this she was an open book with me yesterday about the whole process. i just wanted to thank kristy publicly for being such an amazing friend!

a few things

i have a mild case of mitro-valve syndrome (i probably spelled that wrong). one of my heart valves flutters in and out when it should just open and close. it's not super serious. i don't have to take any medicine for it. i'm just suppose to stay away from caffine because that is what sets it off. well, i kind of forget that and so i just drink caffine like it's going out of style. and then BAM my heart starts to go crazy. it'll be like that for a few days and then go back to normal for a few months. it's kind of a cycle (probably one i should stop). all that to say my hearts been flurtering a lot lately. i'm trying to be good, but my love for coke-a-cola is not making this easy. so i've bought caffine free coke.

that was random. it's just on my mind because it's been acting up for over a week now.

i have to go. a new episode of LOST is finally on!

talk to you all soon...

House Pictures

Here is a picture of our fireplace and our tv nitch in our future family room.


Here is our beautiful drywall! This is upstairs, standing in the loft looking at the front two rooms.


What our house currently looks like on the outside.


All our doors are hung! This is in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The closet doors and entry door for that room.

Pictures...

Tia, Elizabeth, Katie, Kristy and Maya


Cameron with his framed Magic jersey (the staff got that for him for his 29th birthday. it is a signed jersey by Dwight Howard. his parents got it framed for him for christmas. it will go in his loft when we move into the new house.)


Cameron and I at work. He was in the middle of getting his picture taken for his column and I interrupted to give him some love. Azuree captured the moment. I was doing financials...our amex statement is in my hand. :)


Mckenzie peaking around the chair at us. So cute!

Happy New Year.

I hope everyone had a happy new year. Cameron and I had a chill new years. I really dislike going out and being in the middle of thousands of people...i don't do good with crowds. Anyway, we went and saw our house and then had fun driving around and going in other houses under construction. Then we went and saw "The Producers" (it was pretty good) and then went to dinner. Got home around 11pm and watched the ball drop on tv. I had a good time. Next year I'll have to give in and go out I'm sure. :)

I don't feel like I'm ready for a new year. I want to me more gung-ho and excited for a fresh start, but I'm actually feeling a little depressed and tired. I'm sure that will go away. I really do want to be excited for 2006.

2005 was a good year. Pretty hard for me health wise though. I am feeling a lot better now and am praying that 2006 will see me restored to health 100%. This year we sold our house, but didn't get into our new house yet. Relevant had a great year. Lots of growth which makes my job harder, but I still love it. I really thought we'd get pregnant in 2005, but we did not. I am praying that 2006 will the year for us to get pregnant and perhaps even our first child will be born in 2006. Only God knows for sure.

Whats on my mind right now:
The Gators just won their bowl game. Good game. I just cleaned up our room. You couldn't even walk around in here with all our Christmas presents everywhere. Now its organzied which always makes me feel good. Cameron is at the Capital One Bowl with Kyle and some Zondervan people. I've got it on the tv and it looks like a good game. My sweet Mckenzie is sleeping next to me. She has lost 2 lbs. since we've been here. I think all the change and stress. She's still 16 lbs, but she feels boney which I don't like. The NFL regular season ended yesterday. And last night was the last Sunday night game ever! WHAT! That was a shock to me...i don't like that decision. Of course Sunday night does have good tv, so maybe it's okay... I'm going to go workout in a few minutes. I'm super tired so I think I'll lay down for a few first. I finally got my photos downloaded and I can't get them to upload. Stinks...i'll have to try again later. I really like regular coke-a-cola. Not a good thing to like with all those calories and sugar.

I pray for Gods vision and direction for my life is made very clear to me in 2006. I pray to hear Him in everything I do. Oh...and I pray to stay motivated to keep working out. :)

Talk to ya later...
