10 Years and still going strong!

Jason and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on August 8th! WOW! It is hard to believe we have been married for 10 years already! It seems like yesterday when we said I do. We actually won't be celebrating until November when we take a much needed vacation to Mexico! We are so excited and can't wait. I would post a picture of us but sadly have no recent pictures of just us. We have been through so much but I would not trade a minute of it! I think we are having more fun now! Ok, I know I am a little sappy but it is 10 years! That is a big deal!

However, my darling friend Faye posted pictures from our wedding on her blog. Check out her entire site, she is an awesome photographer (some of you may remember the pictures from summer 2007 that she took of the kids.) She is actually in the pictures of our wedding. (last one on the right as you are looking at the picture)I wish I could get married again just so I can have new awesome wedding pictures taken by her.

SLACKER!

Ok, I know I have been a total slacker in the blogging department. I tell you things have been crazy and I can't even figure out what happen to the summer.

Here is a brief recap of what we have done and I will post some pictures later.

The whole family went to Holiday World in June and I would highly suggest it!! It is totally fun and drinks are free.

Lauren had her dance recital (she did great) and I took her to American girl with Grandma and her cousin.

Alex has been busy playing Legos (new found love) and getting tan as can be!! It is crazy how dark he is.

Claire is growing like a weed and saying new words everyday!! We also had the joy of taking her to the ER in July because she jammed a small square lego up her nose!! Lovely!

Jason has been traveling a lot lately. Houston, LA and Boston just to name a few.

I went back to work sort of! I have been working like crazy to get through orientation, then I will only be working 2-3 times a month in the hospital setting....

That is it!! Not to much going on but enough!

I promise to do better this time!! I have also discovered Facebook so that is a lot of fun too. TO all my faithful readers and people who post, I have been reading yours and enjoy every minute of it!

ALREADY?

I just wanted to share a few updates in the life of the Ulms. We are back in full swing I can't believe there is only a few weeks of school left.

-Alex started soccer and he is enjoying it! Of course he is the fastest kid out there!

-Claire is doing awesome with her speech therapy! We are hearing new words everday!

-Lauren had a dentist appointment yesterday which does not sound like much until he informed us that we need to pull two teeth to make room for her adult teeth and he will continue to pull two at a time in hopes of making her teeth a little straighter and this will help when she gets braces. Seriously? She is 6 and we are already starting to talk about braces. She will be fitted for a retainer within the next few months! Oh my!! Jason just says we are spreading the money out over time. Lets hope so! So next week we are pulling the first two baby teeth to allow her adult teeth that she has to straighten a little bit and then when those teeth that were pulled come in we will pull the next two!! Sounds like fun!

-Jason is busy as usual at work and is getting ready to do some more travel.

-I am getting ready for a huge Kids Sale that our MOPS group does every year(most of my readers know this since they are in MOPS too and you are the ones who read my blog, but just in case) SO I am preparing to put in about 30 plus hours over the next 3 days! It is a lot of fun and I will be sure to get a lot of great deals!

ALERT! ALERT!

GRAY'S ANATOMY IS GOING TO BE NEW STARTING ON APRIL 24TH. We will get to see 5 NEW EPISODES!!!

Good Old Indiana

We are back from a much needed vacation where we enjoyed 80 Degree temps. Now I have my winter coat on!! That is no fun!

Jason's mom is home from the hopital and doing well. Thanks for all the prayers. They were heard and answered!

Like I said, we enjoyed beautiful weather in the land of Florida. It was suppose to rain all week but we were blessed with only one day of rain that revealed a beautiful rainbow and a good reminder. The rest of the time was great. We went to Disney one day. Sea world one day and enjoyed the rest of the time swimming at the house. Jason also thought it would be fun to play tennis. Has anyone ever seen me in any type of sport that requires a ball? Not a pretty sight but it was fun to be silly.

Odds and Ends

I much to say and not much time to say it....

Please pray for my mother-in-law. She is in the hospital and we are not sure what is going on. It appears she had a mini stroke and she is also going to be seen by the oncologist for some odd blood work. We drove to Fort Wayne to see her today and she appears to be in good spirits.

We are leaving for Florida tomorrow night for a week of fun in the sun and some much needed time away as a family. Please pray we have safe travels and it does not rain as much as they say it is going to.

Thank you to the cutest blog on the block for my fun background. Shelly, you have started a movement!! Here is the link! http://cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com/
