Best discovery ever!

So I made a discovery today that I couldn't be more happy about!!

One of the only ways I post anything, on facebook or anywhere else, is from my phone. David surprised me with an iPhone in October and I am totally loving it! It allows me to do everything i need to do online or otherwise without having to sit down at the computer. Between client emails, editing, designing, book keeping, and the list goes on, I feel like I'm always on the computer. I just couldn't justify spending more time away from my family to blog. Even if it is my journal that I cherish. So, I just decided that I'd rather live in the moment then worrying about if I was able to blog everything fast enough or not.

Now for the discovery...
There is an app for blogger!!
Why is it such a big deal? Well simply because I can blog quickly and easily from anywhere while on my phone. The pictures are already on my phone. They don't need to downloaded from my camera or resized or edited. I just push a button and they're posted!

I can't wait to get this blog going again!

Madi will turn 4 in a month! She started preschool last sept and is learning more than I ever could gave imagined. I love watching her blossom into such a beautiful little lady!

Marlie is still my little ray of sunshine. She will be 17 months in a few days an she just started walking last week! It took awhile for her to get up and going but now she's up and running...literally! I could chase after her all day and never tire of it.


Yep they are my girls :)

Here's what we've been up to these past few months in no particular order :)

Madi was what she called "a purple princess" for Halloween. Boy did she play the part well! She is quite the little princess. Marlie was a little flower. It was perfect! Just something I pieced together from different things here and there. What a doll she was!

We have been enjoying lots of time with Daddy since his day job has been ridiculously slow. Not so great for the wallet, but it is so fun to have him home with us during the week!

Two big things happened!
Marlie said her first word "grandpa!" Who she absolutely adores and I coils be more tickled about it :)
AND..Madi got her hands dirty in the pumpkin slime and liked it! Which is a huge deal if you know what a girly girl she is. Seriously though. Funny girl.

I lost some weight! On my head that is ;) I didn't even realize how long my hair was but I don't miss it one bit. I love my short hair!


We danced and sang while doing laundry :)


I had a birthday! It was a pretty great one too. Filled with family and fun. 26 has been good to me so far :)


David and I got all fancy and went to his company Christmas party. I love getting all dressed up and we don't do it often enough. It was fun!


We spent Christmas in Cali with my family and Marlie went on her first carousel ride. She loved it and was laughing the whole time (despite what this picture shows haha).


Speaking of Christmas, we went to pick up my Christmas, birthday, anniversary present from Costco a few weeks after Christmas. I am in love with my Vitamix! I use it once if not twice a day and it's wonderful!

I've used it to make everything from smoothies to soup and ice cream. Love it!


We got over a foot of snow for about a week in Jan. and it was a blast! We played and played until we were frozen. Then David would make us a cozy fire so we could defrost :)


David and I celebrated our 6 yr anniversary on Jan 21st. I woke up to these lovely flowers and a sweet note from my love <3 David had to work all weekend. So, we kept it simple and went out to lunch with the girls :) it was a very great day!


Most recently, Madi started ballet class and she is quite the dancer. Let me tell you! She absolutely loves every second of it!
We had a full week of sunshine last week and it was wonderful! We were all so happy! We played outside as much as we could. It is raining once more today, but we'll look forward to our next few rays of sunshine!

Well my hand is getting a cramp from laying in bed and typing on the phone. Not to mention it's 1am, but oh how good it feels to blog again!

I woke up to find this

Today is pretty special.

At this very moment 5 years ago I was officially Mrs. Greenwood for time and all eternity. 

It was amaizing. 

I love that he is all mine forever.

Tomorrow night Grandma's watching the girls and we're going out on the town!

It's going to be perfect.

Thank you for 5 wonderful years my love.

4 Years

Exactly one week ago, David and I celebrated 4 years of marriage. I wanted so badly to post something the day of, but I figured spending time with him was more important than talking about him on my blog. . So, you get to hear about it now :)

We had a WONDERFUL (all caps) weekend! All I wanted was to get away over night. I just wanted to have a room with just him and I. We agreed to skip the gift giving part and put that money towards a memorable weekend away.

Excited to rediscover us :)

We stayed at the Courtyard Marriot in Kirkland. (it was about a 20 minute drive, but it was perfect)

We checked into the hotel and about a minute later, my stomach was growling. Luckily Olive Garden was literally right across the street. So, we ran over there and shared a delicious dinner.

Afterword, we came back to the hotel for some swimming and relaxing time. It was so nice to not have a schedule and just do whatever we felt like.

That same night, we had tickets to see Avitar in IMAX 3D in Seattle. The show started at 10:45 pm and it was sold out! We reserved our tickets online the weekend before. That was the only time open. Crazy! We didn't have a schedule. So, we said why not? We can sleep in :)

It was a great movie. Even if it wasn't, it was just so nice to sit there and hold hands with no distractions.

The next morning, we woke up and went down to the lobby to find a breakfast buffet unlike anything I've ever had. David said "now this is my kind of vacation". I agree.

After we checkout out, we headed a mile down the road to the Kirkland waterfront. It was a little chilly, but it was so peaceful and beautiful.

Thank you self timer :)

Later on that day, we went to Seattle to see the Ballard Locks. By that time, the sun was shining and it was a gorgeous day! This is where the ships come in from the ocean and they raise the water level to let them cross into Lake Washington. It was pretty amazing how fast they can fill it up. Pretty neat learning experience.

David is standing my the dam at the locks.

Proof that we were there. haha

I can't say enough, how wonderful it was to just enjoy us.

Here's to year 5!
