Subject: Matts Christmas Present

So for the last three years Matt and I have not exchanged Christmas presents. We both felt that it's more important to buy for all the kids in our life than eachother. But, every year I have still tried to at least do a stocking for him. This year we once again said we were not going to exchange. But, I had a surprise planned.

Lately I have been clipping coupons and one of them I found was for sears portraits. For only $4.95 I got 45 shots!!!!! And no sitting fee. So knowing that Matt was going to be out of town last week I scheduled Kori and me to go get some pictures done together. I found the most perfect little shirt for her, it read " Result of Mommy Kissing Santa". Friday morning I got both of us all ready, picked up my mom and we went. It was so much fun!!! The pictures turned out great and I can't wait to give them to Matt. I was even doing really well at not telling him. I just wish everyone else had done as well also.

Sunday my mom and step- father came over. Shane let the cat out of the bag, and Mom didn't help!!!! So ofcourse now I'm sure he knows. Although he is being really sweet and acting as though he didn't hear. Oh well at least the actual pictures will be a surprise!

This is Kori before we took the pictures, I love this outfit!!

Well, I am very new at this blogging thing but everyone keeps telling me to start and after reading some friends blogs I think I will give it a try.

So much has been going on for us the last two months. First ofcourse was the birth of our daughter Kori. She is eleven weeks old now, I can't believe it!! Since she came along I haven't worked. And, thanks to Matts wonderful job I get to live my dream job of wife and mom!!
Matt has been able to be home with us a lot since Kori was born. What a blessing that has been!!! He is just the best dad ever!!! Last week Matt had the lapband surgery done. We have been trying to get this done for over a year. Insurance issues kept him from being able to have it. But, his wonderful job has amazing insurance and they covered it in full. :)
This week Matt went out of town without us for the first time since Kori was born. It was a very difficult week for both of us. It is so hard for us to be away from eachother. Is it like that for every married couple? He missed us so much he came home early!!!
Well, I know I have more I could probably ramble on about, but, I won't bore anyone that wants to read this. I'm going to try and keep up on this really well.
We shall see......
