Special Delivery.

Our nephew is here! Evan Isaac was born January 26th, weighing in at 6lbs 11oz. He is a cuter patooter and we were so happy to be able to spend time with him yesterday.

Mommy, daddy and baby are doing well......
......and we couldn't be more excited to be an aunt and uncle!

XOXO, Aunt Mack and Uncle Jason

Annual.

Saturday night was my office's annual dinner. It's a great excuse to dress up and mingle and if there is one rule I have it's don't ever pass up a free meal and an open bar.

Also, never pass up a chance to work the homecoming pose:

Vintage.

Saturday night we had over one of my oldest friends (not in age!) and her hubs for burgers and beer. We had recconnected around Thanksgiving and couldn't wait for our significant others to meet. It was a success! The boys bonded over Mustangs and heavy metal...

...and we laughed our rumps off looking at old pictures.

10 years ago....



I believe that shade is called "peroxide blonde."

Sometimes people come back into your life for all the right reasons.

Keeping The Humor.

As much as we have been expecting it for the past 6 months, it was still a bit of a shock when Jason was laid off on Friday. We are certain this is only a stepping stone leading to bigger and better things and we are starting this new adventure together as a team.

We weren't put together by accident. We need each other, especially in times like this.

We got his company car all cleaned out this weekend to return yesterday.

At least his sense of humor is still in tact, right? *wink*
Loads of love, Mack

Uh Oh, It's Magic.

Good News: I was named team lead for the year for the Client Service Reps! Weird News: They had a big "passing of the wand" ceremony this morning which was a bit scary.


Now if I can only figure out how to turn my keyboard into a chocolate bar with this thing.

We Blame The Moon.

After a week of being under the weather (him the first half of the week, me the latter) we were finally feeling rested and well enough on Sunday to get out of the house. We took Mana to lunch to celebrate her birthday and then headed to the movies to see Valkyrie (I highly recommend it!). Inspired by the full moon, we grabbed the camera and tripod when we got home and trekked to the empty lots in the back of our neighborhood and decided to act like complete fools whilst playing with the remote. The results (we obviously had no idea what we were doing)?




^Re-enacting the typical scary movie scene: He looks behind to watch whoever is chasing us, as I trip on a twig and twist my ankle..... slowing us down. MUAH-HAHAHA.




We also managed to get our Christmas decorations taken down and I had the hardest time bringing myself to take these down, they were all so pretty!


Luckily, next Christmas is only a mere 11 months away. :)

Feels Like Home.

I think there are too many moments in life that people take for granted. With everything going on in the world today, so much is focused on the negative and the simple things get taken for granted. My favorite part of the day? After dinner, after the dishes have been washed and put away and we are snuggled up on the couch with the pooches to watch some brainless television. My head nezzled into the crook of his shoulder. Perfect fit. Oh, and two wet noses on our laps. :)

It is the most comforting peaceful time of my day and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
