About Me

My name is Laura Christine and I am 26 years old.  I am originally from Buffalo, NY but moved to Maryland to go to college, ended up marrying the love of my life and settling down outside of Baltimore.  Jason and I were married on August 15, 2009...I can't believe that it has almost been two years!  We were friends for a while before we started dating my senior year of college.

Shortly after we were married, Jason and I were fortunate and extremely blessed to be able to buy our home in a great neighborhood with lots of families and children :).  We can't wait to have a family of our own with the pitter patter of little feet running around the house - hopefully once we have children I will be able to stay home with them as Jason and I both feel that is important.  We are young, in love, and absolutely love being together...whether it is going to church, taking a trip, doing yardwork, or just running errands together on the weekend.  We are Christian, family oriented, conservative, and basically everything studies and journals say that our generation is not.

As I said, I grew up in Buffalo and my parents still live there.  I have one younger brother and a wonderful extended family with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins.  I love having a big family and getting together for holidiays, weddings, and family reunions (in fact one of my cousins just got engaged last week so there will be another opportunity for everyone to get together)!!  My father is from Europe, Austria to be exact, and so I was bit by the travel bug at an early age.  I love traveling to other countires and experiencing their cultures and ways of life.  I love hiking and being outdoors.  I really enjoy cooking and baking and if I do say so myself, I am pretty good at it (just as Jase!).  Jason and I both love animals, as evident by the fact that we have three rescued dogs (I'll save that whole story for another post).

That's it for now, I'm off to snuggle with my hubby and watch some hockey :)

Good night!!

Exhausted!

Phew!  This has been an exhausting week and I am honestly surprised that I am still awake right now to post (it is only 8:20 btw).  Jason had knee surgery on Friday and it went well, but I was the nurse for several days...I don't mind doing it, it is just exhausting!!  Ever since we got home from the hospital Friday night I haven't been able to keep my eyes open.  He is doing really well!  He has been icing and keeping his leg elevated constantly and the swelling has really gone down and he is making his way around the house without crutches.  This nifty contraption, appropriately titled the Iceman, is his new BFF.  Good job, Jase!

Then...somehow I got selected to give a presentation at work, to over 1000 people over two different sessions.  Talk about exhausting!  As soon as I finished presenting at the morning meeting, I immediatly felt tired and had to pull myself together enough to be able to present again this afternoon.  Geesh!  It's not that I mind public speaking, I actually enjoy it; but this was in front of my peers, people I work with on a daily basis, a few people that I recognized from college, etc.  At my previous job as an Admissions Counselor, I gave presentations all the time and , but this was slightly different as I actually knew people in the audience.  I think it went well, but I did catch myself talking pretty quickly...oh well.

We have been enjoying the NHL Playoff's for the past couple of weeks.  Although my hometown team didn't make it (Sabres) Jason and I still enjoy watching.  I'm going to be honest.  Hockey is one of the only team sports that I enjoy watching, with the exception of soccer.  Hockey and soccer are fast paced and there is usually something always going on.  I can't stand football and baseball; they bore me and I can't stay awake.

Modern Family is new tonight...woohoo!  We LOVE this show.  We love that it is family oriented.  We love that it can make us laugh until we cry.  We love that this is a "lesson" at the end of each episode.  We love how real it is. 

Have a great week!!
