It's Baseball Season

UGH well I already wrote a long blog, but something happened with my computer and it somehow got lost.. >:-O

So here's the short version. John and I joined a gym. Getting up in the morning is rough. John is on a softball team with his church. I enjoy being his cheerleader and embarrassing him by getting a shirt made that says 'Mrs. Vitcusky'. The end.

And here are some pictures that I can't take credit for.

See You Later

I can't believe it's already been 2 weeks since we said "See you later" to our beloved Uncle Bobby. I am sure by now he has found his place in heaven and is eating bagels with God every morning. We miss him terribly but are comforted in know he is now at peace - in fact I am jealous of where he is right now.

I am so amazed by the continued strength and support of this family. As we go through the ups and downs of life, we all seem to grow so much closer. I love how tight-knit we all are. Imagine the days when all the cousins have kids! There's 3 already.. and that number will eventually grow. (Don't look at me). Aunt Laura, I think you might need to get a bigger house!! In a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to book a reception hall for our family parties! God has really blessed us with all these wonderful people.

It's 2008!

Happy New Year! (Ok I'm a little late, because it's already February.. but the year is still new).

We made it through our first Christmas/New Year together as a married couple, and it was so much fun! I'll post some pictures... (and bore you with random stories hehe)...

Life hasn't really changed for us too much in the past few months - which is good. We're in such a great place right now. John works as a customer service Rep for a plastics company, 2 miles away from the apartment. I work in customer service as well, for Tiffany & Co. - which is 4 miles away from our place! So we definitely cannot complain about the commute. We would love a house, but our situation is working out for us very well right now - in a few years after we have time to save, and maybe if there's more than just the two of us, we will definitely start house hunting!

And I guess we really can't complain out our neighbors.. hehe.. ;-) have you ever seen Everybody Loves Raymond?? We have a similiar fate - DIANE ('Mom' as we lovingly call her) lives in the same apartment complex, with Olivier and Laura. Originally, our landlord offered us an apartment RIGHT across from Mom's - literally you could see in each other's window. You bet, I gave him a call back- "Curt, I love my mother, but are you NUTS??". I've been living in this complex for the past three+ years, so he knows very well who my mother is and where she lives. Anyway, for reasons other than my mother, I am glad we got a different apartment - the floors, bathroom, and kitchen were all redone for us. This is the third apartment I've lived in, in this complex alone, and by far it has been the best one. We are truly blessed.

Moving on...

Here's a little PSA: Have you heard that LAURA got her permit?? Be extra careful on the roads, now that our little Laura is driving! :-)

Oh and for you dog lovers... John's mother got a new puppy- a hound/boxer mix. His name is Noah and he's a cutie. I'll share a picture..

As promised, here's a few recent pics...
