Happy 2 Month Birthday Baby Girl!!

So, I'm not a mother yet...well at least not to a human. BJ and I have three labs which we treat as our children. Hunter and Lacy are his labs....



...and Maverick is my lab...



...yes, Mav is very much an inside dog, which was NOT okay with BJ when we got married, so he now lives with my sister and brother-in-law with their inside lab, Daisy, and now new daughter Julianna! (Mav was quite convinced when she first came home that her squeaking was a mouse under the bassinet)



Long story short, my sister had the first baby in the family on May 1, 2010
...which makes today Baby Julianna's 2nd month birthday!!! I am SOOO in LOVE with this child, and to think she's not even mine. I can't imagine the feeling I'll have someday when I do have a child of my own. She is truly a gift from God... "every good and perfect gift comes from up above..." James 1:17

Welcome to our blog!!!

After much debate, I've decided to start a blog about us...the everyday Ellisons! BJ and I were married in November of 2008 and have enjoyed our 1 and 1/2 years of married life together!!!!



Being together and able to share everyday happenings with each other has been such a blessing!! God and fate definitely knew what they were doing when they brought the two of us together. Also, God bless Nathan and Cody for dragging me out of my house the summer of '08 and introducing me to BJ!!



Sooooo, thanks to God, fate, Nathan, and Cody, we are happily married and living in Beautiful Inez! I'm teaching 3rd grade in Victoria, and BJ's a designer / drafter in Port Lavaca. We both love our jobs and the people we work with, however we're both VERY happy when our day is over and we get to come home to our quite, country home.

I don't want to lead anyone into any falsehood by our blog name. The Everyday Ellison's was not titled with any intention of me blogging EVERYDAY...however, it is meant to represent us...the everyday us...not the dog and pony show us. We are a very humble couple who enjoys and finds fulfillment in the small EVERYDAY things. When we do something fun, I find a really good recipe, or have nothing better to do (like today with soooo much rain from Hurricane Alex), I'll post!!! For now, happy blogging!!
