I have decided to BLOG our life. I am going to attempt to update this weekly at first (for major updates). I may also put mini updates or thoughts up daily (or just a few times a week), lets just see how dedicated I am to this new "thing".
*currently* We just returned home from the first ever Pullen/Maxwell Family Trip. We are hoping Tim (TJ's dad) will continue with this new tradition. This year we went to New Orleans and stayed in the French Quarters - it was over whelming for me - but yet enjoyable to be with everyone (Tim, Gayline, Jenny, Leslie, Ryan and Kent) all at once. The guys had a good time at the casino - Leslie and Jenny did pretty well too (me, not soooooo much!) so next year we think Vegas would be a good family vaca trip...I'm in!!!! And I know everyone else is (TJ and I are the only ones who have not been to Vegas...therefore it is essential for us to go). We had many experiences with our eyes that will not be typed here, sorry! But will be forever in our minds of New Orleans!!!!
Thanks to TJ's mom, the most wonderful mother-in-law, who stayed at our house with our babies (our dogs Harvey & Hayley - they are people to us - there will be many stories about them. and sometimes you make mistake them as real people ha.), we came home to our loving dogs whom always think we will never return when we go out of town...Sorry dogs, but in 19 days we will be gone for a week. And as of now we have no one to watch them. Any takers???? They are very high maintenance dogs and require lots of care and attention. God help us when TJ and I have kids.
But anyways, in 19 days we will be going on our 2nd 'honeymoon'!!!!!! We know our anniversary isn't until October, but there is no way I can get off another 6 days in a row at work. Being a teacher and vacation during the school year is a NO GO...so therefore TJ surprised me early and we are celebrating our one year early in the Caribbean on our first cruise!!!!! Neither one of us have ever been on a cruise, so it will be a first for us both! Just like honeymoons are suppose to be! We are going to Cozumel, Montego Bay and the Caymann Islands.

Ok...enough blogging for tonight...I need to read for school (oh for you who don't know, I am working on my Master's ... woohoo!!!)
