I couldn't get it, then It was humus, Baa humus? Baa humus??? BAHAMAS?? Franticly looking at Tom then Nancy then back to Tom.. I was a little confused for a split second. lol So We are going to the Bahamas and then to Universal Studios. I am so excited, I guess this is our last howrah hopefully before dental school and as a graduation gift to Tom for graduating. My count down is on.. Please get here soon May 3!!!!!

Yea I know its says 2009, he meant to put 2010! lol :)

Kind of an update....

Well I only kinda have a update to put on here.. Nothing really big has happened in a while for us. We are still waiting to hear back from dental school, so everyday is a big anxiety attack walking to the mailbox or every time Toms phone rings, but I guess for now no news is good news.

I thought I would put the few pictures of Christmas on here, we were really bad this year and really didn't take any pictures. This was one of my Christmas gifts, its a really big foambag, we love it, but even though our apartment isn't that small with this big thing it really makes our 2nd bedroom very cramped! lol but its great for naps!!!
Me on Christmas day
This year we made some changes to our big Christmas tree, it was too big for our apartment so Tom took off the top part and made it nice and small and I really like it this way!
My mother in law got a new sewing machine for Christmas and that meant that I was able to get her old one, finally a sewing machine that works! Mine has been out of commission for 2 years, so I made some pillows to go in our living room.



I like them, slowly but surely I will make me house super cute so I can hold my own against my sisters! lol

Greatful

I have a grateful heart today.

I think that the lord puts people in your life at the right moments and knows when you are in real need of a hug, smile or friendship.

In my short time of being married I have been blessed with a wonderful caring and devoted husband who loves me and knows how to take care of my needs and to show his love for me. I am grateful for Tom.

I have been also blessed with amazing sisters in my life who have taught me by their examples and taught me to laugh at life and know that there will be ups and downs in your marriage, work and money but that their is always family and the ear and love that is offered when you need to cry or laugh. I am grateful for my sisters and sisters in laws.

I have a wonderful mom who is everything I want to be. I am very grateful for her example in everything she has ever done.

I am grateful that after 3 years of having not a friend at all in church that I am able to make a friend who cares about me and what is going on in my life. I am grateful for her calls just to see how work is going or if Tom had heard anything about schools.

I am grateful for this time of year when we can really see the good in people and they make it known to everyone, My heart is full and I wanted to say thank you.

Happy Anniversary

October 28 2006

It's amazing how fast 3 years will go by.

Well 3 years ago I married my best friend and soul mate. Our wedding day was great beside the fact that they lost Tom in the temple and I watched about 4 Brides who came in after me go off and get married, But they found him and we were sealed. Now 3 years later life has gone on, Its hard being so poor and trying to make ends meet, trying to figure out how I can make a weeks worth of food last for 2 or maybe if I'm real lucky 3 weeks. But somehow we do it, We fight through the tough times together and know that it wont always be like this, It will get better, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am so grateful that the lord sent Tom to me that he knew that there was no one else that I could go through this journey with, No one else who could make me feel the way I feel about myself and how I see the world and want to be a better person for. I love my husband more than anything and I'm glad that our journey together is only beginning that I have this wonderful strong man to go through eternity with. I'm glad that they didn't loose him for good in the temple. :)

Happy Anniversary Tomtom I love you more than anything and I am glad your my husband.

xxoxoxoxo

I wanted to post my engagement video but our external hard drive is broken and we cant get to any of our pictures or videos so these are the few pictures I was able to grab, Hopefully I will be able to post more of them sooner rather than never.

Birthday

Another birthday has come and gone. This year all I really wanted was a massage, after all the ones I do everyday I really just wanted some me time, So thanks to my wonderful mom and dad who bought me a amazing massage and facial. That was the best way to start a birthday!!!

My sweet sisters both got me some really cute shirts that you can just throw on and not have to worry about the gs, which is always a plus. .....even though Amber kept my first present for herself. lol :)

I'm gonna have to say that one of my favorite gifts is the one that Jessica got me. Its a plastic muffin tray that you use in the play kitchen but she told me its so I can make muffins in it. LOL I love it. Nancy has the pictures so Ill post them once I get them. Nancy got me a warming blanket which I love since Tom doesn't turn the heat on till January, or sometimes February, so thanks Nancy I love it. And I love the flowers too!!!!!!! Rebecca got me a movie gift card with a max and Ermas gc.. but she told Tom that I get to pick the movie out not him. lol

Lastly was Toms gift.... There is a story behind it. Most of you know that we love to play games, its fun and we have spent many hours laughing till wee hours in the morning playing, Well I'm fine with all the games except for PIT. I don't know who has played it, but its just mass chaos and I hate it. there I said it.. So for the past 4 years Pit has been out of the Schmitt home because I wont play it. So a month of so ago I was looking for something at Ralph and Rebeccas house and I found a Lord of the Rings Risk.. Which is another game that I don't like but I showed it to Tom and told him I would only play because it was lotrs.

So one Night we were all sitting around and Nancy asked if I would play PIT if it was lord of the rings.. I said sure.. So Tom went to work and this is the result............

LORD OF THE RINGS PIT

Most of this I have to thank Doug because he design this on illustrator and emailed to Tom and Tom did the rest. For a few weeks now Tom has said he really needs to be at his parents house to work on "physics" and talk with Doug about "physics"but really the physics was this project.

Tom cut out the map and stained the whole box so it has Middle Earth on it. These are just a few views of the box.



It came with custom directions. When we start we say "So it begins" and when we finish we say "It is a gift" He even put green felt on the bottom so it will be easy to grab the cards out.
Instead of the Bear and the Bull we have the Eye of Sauron and The one Ring.
These are all the PIT cards, Tom thought really hard about who was the most important characters to me and made them the most points and so on.. Its a no brainier who it worth 100 points. I need to add that he hand cut all of them out and used a stamper to round the edges.
So After I opened the gift and laughed we decided to play.. and yep I loved it. We know the way to my heart. lol So Thanks Tom for this way cool gift and all the time and hard work he put into it. I love it. Now we just need a Twilight Pit. :)

Hard work pays off. :)

Well Thanks to EVERYONE for all the prayers and support that we received over these last couple weeks. Tom re took the DAT yesterday and he did so well!!! He went up in every category and his overall average went up. So it looks like we are sitting pretty. I'm thankful for a good husband who works so hard and spent so many hours studying biology and chemistry. I am so proud of him!!!

Wish us Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
