Anyway, since I've been such a horrible blogger over the past little bit (yes, I know it's been three months at least), I thought I'd post some pictures with the updates to at least make up for how slack I've been.
1. In mid-February (this is a big one)....
We bought a house!!!!!!!!!!!
We are loving being new home owners, and feel blessed with the perfect house for us...although I'm not saying that it's perfect. We've done a ton of yard work, and the pool has transformed from a "swamp" to the wonderful place the we enjoyed just today after church. It's so nice having some room to spread out, but the more space...the more you need to fill up that space. We're trying to take it slow and do a little bit at a time, but my most commonly used phrase is currently, "Well, if I had a million dollars we could...!" Anyway, we love the new house and are having a lot of fun with it! I'll post some before and after pictures soon, although we haven't changed all too much (except for a pepto pink room or two!)
2. We also are pleased to announce the newest member of the Winburn family:
Miss Maya Edisto Winburn
here's Miss Priss with one of her sisters on the day we got her
passed out on the tile kitchen floor
Andrew spoiling her in the den. She is not an inside dog, by the way,
although all of these pictures might suggest otherwise.
asleep on Andrew's bow...precious!
This was the day that we got her...and she's grown so much since a little over four weeks ago!
We were so excited to be able to share Chris and Camille's wedding with them in on May 6th! Her wedding was so beautiful, the food was amazing, the band was great, and we had a wonderful time! Of course, Camille was just gorgeous. Chris--glowing at the sight of her. Ahh, love! I need to post some pictures, but my blogger decided to start acting up!
4. I turned 27. Yuck! That's all I'm going to say about that!
More news:
Our third niece will be here next Wednesday, and we cannot wait to meet Baby Hardwick #3. We also learned a couple of weeks ago that Baby Turner #3 (our 6th niece/nephew) will be here sometime around the new year. So, things are busy with babies in our family. It's exciting!
Our church (generation church) just moved into a new location. We are no longer a portable church! For those of you who have never un-packed and re-packed your church each week, you may not know how truly exciting this is for us! Our new location is 1051 Sparkleberry Ext (right in the middle of northeast Columbia!) We LOVE it, and are truly thankful to God for providing all good things!
We're heading to Louisiana tomorrow for a friend of Andrew's wedding. This should be a very interesting trip, and I'm looking forward to spending time with Andrew! Yay! Sadly, we'll have to leave Miss Maya behind, but she'll be in the capable care of my brother and parents over the weekend. We're so thankful for them and know she'll have a fun vacation from her parents. :-)
Randomness:
Favorite website right now: zulily.com
Most exciting thing right now: New house, new dog, supportive husband, growing church, working with babies, and enjoying it (even if I am a little sleep deprived most of the time)
Most irritating thing right now: passive aggressive behavior (If you want to be ugly, just do it. Don't try to be sneaky and pretend you don't know what you're doing. Of course, you "meant it that way...") Disclaimer: I fully accept the reality of my imperfections, but this kind of behavior is just childlike, and I'm coming across it a lot lately. Which brings me to my next point...
Most irritating thing about myself lately: Trying to deal with the actions of others that bother me completely on my own and not being honest with the person about it. God is teaching me a lot about this.
Most overused phrases in the Winburn household right now:
"That's a hot mess..." (meagan)
"Mother of pearl..." (andrew)
"Hey Maya-girl!" (andrew)
"Maya-----no!" (both)
Best coupon deal recently: free Pedigree dentastix for Maya last month! She loved them. Too bad they're all gone now!
Favorite artist right now: Adele
Person who should have won American Idol this year: Pia (unreal talent!)
Pool temperature today when I checked it: 84 degrees....yes ma'am!!!! Summer is here!
Ok, I think that's about all for now. I promise, I will try to start blogging more often. However, I've said that before!
