A Weekend in Edwards

Matt and I went to Edwards, Colorado this weekend to visit some good friends...the Otts. Jenny Ott (now Showalter) and I went to college together but really got to be friends when we both worked as Admissions Counselors at Indiana Wesleyan University. Once Matt and I got married I went to work for her dad, Gary Ott, in Indianapolis. Gary is the CEO of TLC, the company that owned Angels of Mercy Home Health Care. It was such a blessing to have Jenny make me aware of the marketing opportunity with Angels almost three years ago! This is Matt and I with Jenny and Daniel (Jenny's husband) when we went sledding! See that puppy jumping up at me? He was romping around with another puppy, a golden retriever, the whole time we were out in the snow. They were so cute! This one kept climbing on the sled with me so I took him for a ride down the hill :)

Daniel started his own photograpy business about a year ago. He is INCREDIBLY talented and has been doing some commercial photography in Indianapolis. He took pictures of the new Indianapolis airport and Reed Hospital in Richmond Indiana. Check out his website. It is pretty impressive!

Matt and I actually visited them at their vacation home last December when we made a trip to Colorado. It's becoming a traditional annual visit! Connie, Jenny's mom wants us to stay longer next year and hit the slopes with them! The Ott's are such a wonderful, warm and fun family. Jenny's two brother's, their wives and children were all there together. We played games, went shopping, went sledding, ate delicious meals and caught up on life! Unfortunately, these are the only two pictures we took. I can't believe I didn't even take pictures of Jackson, Isaac or Syndey...the grandchildren! They were pretty cute!

Thanks for a great weekend, Daniel & Jenny!

Philadelphia Eagles Gameday Countdown

Eagles vs. Vikings

We are PUMPED about the Eagles being in the playoffs and after an amazing game against the Cowboys
last Sunday...have been looking forward to this game all week!

Matt even simulated the game between the Vikings and the Eagles last night on the Wii and the Eagles beat the Vikings 55-0! Unfortunately, that is not going to be the case today because it is 16-7 Eagles right now...but as long as we get the win...we don't care!



As you can see I'm the referee on the Wii football game!




We have been waiting for a few years to use the Eagles cups and plates that my mom bought Matt a few years ago in Pennsylvania. We decided to break them out today! Aren't they great? They make Matt a very happy man.











Here are the cups and the plates...along with Matt's Eagles mini-helmet.

And here's hoping for a GREAT game!
Go EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!

Matt and I planned to spend New Year's Eve with another couple this year and when they decided to just stay in and watch a movie...we were all for it! We had to work that day so we were looking forward to a night in. Does this mean we are getting old? :) Matt ran to the store and got me these snowman sugar cookies and sparkling apple cider...yum!
Last week we looked all over Wal-Mart for these cookies. You just throw them in the oven and they are good to go! We couldn't find them last week...but we did this week and they were on sale! I love snowmen.
I was trying out a different lense here that Mom Witt gave me a few years ago. You can't zoom in and out with it but it gives me a much clearer focus on my subject! I'm sure that Matt will just love that I posted this pic. :) I tell him that his Grandma really likes it when I post pics of him...right Grandma Johnson?!
We rented this movie from Red Box. Also, something we tried to get around Christmas but it was unavailable! It is a Max Lucado Christmas movie. It was pretty good! Literally, it ended exactly at midnight because as it ended we heard fireworks going off outside. We went out on our deck to check it out, and sure enough we got a show! Wishing you all a blessed 2009!
