Special Announcement

The Galloway Clan is growing!!!!

Yep, that's right.  Michael and I are thrilled to announce that we are HAVING A BABY!!!  (as if the overwhelming majority of you didn't already know this!)

Baby Galloway should grace us with his/her presence sometime around March 27, 2011.  We are thrilled!

So, this officially marks the beginning of Baby Blogging :) 

Ich vermisse meinen Mann

So, here I sit...day 3 of no hubby.  He is working hard over in Germany and I am holding the fort down here.  Wouldn't be all that bad but he has no phone or email thanks to the small town he is in with no reception!  Sorry for the complaining, but hey isn't that what blogs are for - getting stuff off our chest?

Is it Friday yet?!  I miss him  :(

Target, McDonald's, 3 cute boys...

So there is absolutely no excuse for my slackness in posting...one post in and I got lazy! That is just sad. I know I said there are no excuses, but here is mine anyway - I had all these grand plans for posts. I even took my camera along on our bowling double date (where I bowled a personal best 148!). But, then our computer at home was being slow so I was too frustrated to post, then my camera cord was at home when I got to my office computer and I couldn't post without the photos - so the end result is no posting!

Until NOW!!! :)


A few weeks ago our Bible Fellowship Class (yes, that is the same thing as a Sunday School class!) was introduced to a lady who is pregnant with her 4th boy and in need of some help. She is a single mom, working at McDonald's, speaks little if any English, and has 3 boys 8, 6, 2.5, and a boy to be born next month. A group of us went to their house to deliver some items that were collected and we really grew to have a heart for these sweet boys! So with the help of some other folks, Michael and I were able to pick up the oldest two kids (8 and 6) to take them shopping for school supplies, school uniforms, shoes, toiletries, and dinner. We had them for about 3 hours and it was the best 3 hours ever!



We took them to my personal fave - Target! They had never heard of Target and you should have seen the smiles when they walked through the door and the first thing they see - a pack of silly bands. Instantly they knew they would love this store. We spent a good hour and a half fitting them for clothes, shoes, and everything in between. Although they were very appreciative, this got a little long for them so we had to get some silly bands :)  As we were walking, we turned around and this is where we found them...

Next stop...dinner!  We gave them their choice and they chose, drum roll please, McDonald's!  They were in heaven...cheeseburgers, fries, nuggets, cookie flurries, and a playground!

I am so thankful that we were able to meet these little boys and hopefully have an impact in their lives now and in the future.  They sure have had an impact in ours!  Continue to pray for them and their family. 

I promise it won't be so long between posts next time and hopefully the post won't be so "wordy".

Until then...

Welcome!

Hello cyber world! Welcome to my first official blog EVER!!!! I am really not sure what to do with a blog or how all of this works, so pardon me while I learn. If you have any tips, suggestions, or advice feel free to pass it along.
And of course, I must say "thanks!" to Laura and Makenzi for the blog inspiration :)

In the meantime, I guess I will introduce myself and my family. I am the proud Momma to the cutest dog ever - Charlie! Michael and I were married about 3 months ago and we are loving every minute of married life. We really enjoy each other's company and have a blast. There are very few dull moments around our house! Speaking of "house", we currently own 2 of them (not by choice...we each owned one prior to getting married) and we have decided it is time to start the process of getting rid of 2 homes and buying a new home for us to start our lives in and raise a family. We have signed the official paper work to have mine listed and it will have the "for sale" sign in the yard tomorrow!! Crazy!! Now I get to spend my weekend "staging" a house - but we have a renter who is living there, so things could get interesting real quick!

And, my 1st ever blog posting/ tell you about my life posting would not be complete without a few pictures of Charlie, 4 ridiculously cute nephews, and the most adorable niece ever! Enjoy :) And I just realized I am a bad Aunt and have no pictures of my niece, Ellory, since she has grown so much. Guess I better pay the Raleigh crew a visit so I can get some recent photos!

Ok, sorry for all the pictures and the rambling...Hope everyone has a great day! Today is my Friday :)
