Prayers

Today my dad is going to his neurologist appointment to find out what exactly the details of his tumor are and what they will want to do. Im really nervous that I cant be home to be there for him and the rest of my family. If you could please pray for him and my mom as they go today it would be greatly appreciated. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I know. I thank everyone who has been praying and supporting all of us :)

2nd Shift.

Can I just say that I HATE Caleb working 2nd shift. It gets quite lonely and I hate falling asleep alone. It's hard because I babysit during the day while hes sleeping then by the time I get home he's at work and doesn't get back till like midnight. I know I'm just complaining and we don't have it all that bad, but cooking for two and eating alone is no bueno! Thankfully he only has to do it this week (I hope)!!
To try and fill the time I have decided to reread Harry Potter and I forgot how simply wonderful these books are I haven't been able to stop reading! I'm almost to the second book, but I'm really exited to read the last one again because I hardly remember it.
Saturday Is Calebs birthday and I got him his big present I'm trying to figure out a little fun gift I can get him I'm clueless at this point.
Last but not least this nanny babysitting thing has been going pretty good but I think these little boys get bored and Ive run out of fun activities to do with them any ideas?

The married life so far...

Being married to Caleb for the 12 days I have been has pure bliss :) I cant say enough how much I love this boy. Ive been lame on my postings so ill do a brief catch up. We obviously were married on July 9Th and had a beautiful wedding (still don't have all the pictures will post those later on) and then went to Cedar point for the weekend as a little get away. For those of you who don't know, Cedar point is an amusement park full of roller coasters that made me wanna cry, puke, and pee my pants. It was nice to get away for a couple days and do something fun. We go a hotel and stayed for one night and got to rife for 2. There is also a water park so we went back and forth which was well worth it considering the 90 degree weather!


After coming home from Cedar point Caleb had the whole week off so we did little odds and end things to keep busy. I did make him watch all of the Harry potter movies and then went and saw the last one (which was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!) with my little sisters :) I think by now hes a little Harry Pottered out buuut I'm going to Reread the books as soon as I find someone with them ( mine were left in AZ )

So as a wife its obviously my duty to make my hubby dinners. Im no chef but Im capable of throwing some stuff together. I had made a few dinners and it went real smoothly. Well I decided to make spaghetti (one of the easiest things to make) and epically FAILED the noodles all turned to mush, the garlic toast was black and the sauce wasn't very saucy. Needless to say it ended not so well and I apparently need to work on my spaghetti skills. Im making a chicken pasta tonight lets hope it goes well.

Until next time :)

Mr & Mrs Vanderveen

July 9th 2011 I married my best friend :) I cant quite describe how happy I am that I was able to marry the man I love the most. I couldn't have found someone more perfect and for that I will feel forever blessed.
