WOW....ZING...A NEW RING!!!! ( I am so corny)

So my husband totally scored MAJOR points today! I may just have a new diamond for my ring that is double the size on my old one!!!!!!!!! and brent may have surprised me with it today! How, you ask???

It is a long story...but here it goes....he is leaving tomorrow for a trip, and he wanted us to go out to dinner. But on the way, he said he needed to go to springfield mall to get something for his phone...so we all went in the mall (which actually took quite some effort because both kids were screaming...but he got us in). Every once in a while, we stop and look at stuff in the jewelry store, so we went in and he said, "Lets look at diamonds for your ring"....so we did. I tried one on to see if I liked the size and clarity, etc. and the lady said, "Wait, I have one that is just a little bigger and better quality than this one, under the counter...." so she pulled out another ring. I tried that one on, and of course liked it. Brent said, "Do you like that ring?" and I said, "Yes, of course." and he goes, "Well, its yours." I was like..."Ha ha very funny"..and he was like.."It's yours." and they both started smiling. Apparently, he had been in cahoots with this jeweler for days and had gone in the other day to buy it for me. so..SURPRISE.

The funny thing is that my current ring is at the jeweler getting re sized because it fell off at the beach so...i had no ring to give her to put the new diamond into. Brent had forgotten I sent it off. So...she said, "Why don't you just take this ring (the one with my new diamond in it) home with you to wear until you get your old ring back, then we will do the exchange!" So i was like...HECK YEAH! So..in about a week, I will give her both rings and she will send them off and get the new diamond put into the old setting!

WHAT A SURPRISE! It almost felt like getting engaged all over again!

He is a pretty sweet guy, if I do say so myself and I think he totally deserves me bragging on him for thinking up such a sweet way to give me my super sweet gift!

Its been a while....

Well....it has been quite some time since I have last posted, because man, life has been BUSY! We went down to Melbourne for 10 days and bought a house!!! Most of you already know this because you have seen it on email or facebook, but for the friends that have not found out, here are the stats! We are going to be living in Viera, FL which is basically in Melbourne. We found an almost finished house in a great neighborhood and will be closing July 1.....which means, truck and Mundies head out June 28th :( We are thrilled, but, of course, will be sad to leave our friends in DC. I have attached some house pictures and some random pictures from our trip. We were able to see the space shuttle Atlantis take off from Kennedy Space Center, so that was AWESOME! We also stopped in Savannah, Ga on our way to Knoxville, which was fun to show Savannah around Savannah!

After we went to FL, we went to my brother's wedding. It was a BLAST! He and Allie were so cute and the wedding was wonderful. They are very happy. I have attached some pictures from that.

As for the weight loss challenge....it was kinda forgotten about. Life got in the way and Brent and I lost momentum. However, I did lose more than him, so I am the winner, but neither of us came close to the 17 pound mark!

That's about it....so much going on..I am sure I forgot something!

These pictures are in no particular order because that would have taken too much effort and time....I do not have the energy to sort!




Parker's first time in the sand and to see the ocean!











The flash in the sky...that's the shuttle taking off!!
