Well it's definitely been a while since I updated this, so I apologize!
Oh... guess what? It's Noah's Birthday today!!!! Happy Birthday, honey! Yep, he's turned the big 2-6-... I only get to call him an old fart for another 3 months and 10 days, so I'm enjoying it.
Here, There and Everywhere
We've been really really busy around here lately. Noah started his second class towards his Masters Degree and is not really enjoying it. It keeps him busy on Tuesday and Thursday nights. He also helps man the sound board at church with the media team, which he enjoys. And finally... last but not least, he is going to get his pilots license this month! He's shooting for the weekend after St. Patty's Day.
I'm still involved in the meal ministry at church, which has been very busy lately. The lady that helps me lead it and I really are blessed to be able to serve others this way. :) For March and April, I'm also leading our worship team at church, which is a huge undertaking. The guy that normally does it is awesome, but is not able to be there on Sundays, due to his temporary job at the moment. So he passed it along to me. I'm enjoying it and learning a lot about what it takes to be a leader in that kind of environment, coordinating people, etc. Whew!!!
AND... yes, there is something else. I'm getting involved in the Womens' Ministry too. We'll see where that goes, but for the time being, I won't get too involved because I have a lot of other things going. I was sort of volunteered to speak for 15-20 minutes at our first official meeting of the year, so wish me luck! It's in a month, so hopefully that will be plenty of time to prepare.
We Welcome the John!
The day is finally here... our bathroom downstairs is officially (almost) FINISHED!!! The only catch is that we need to paint a second coat on one of the doors and put the new door knobs on. But that's it. Our guy is not helping us anymore... we are finito!!!! YAY!!! I will be posting some pictures as soon as I get that door painted and we get some door knobs on.
In Like A Lion
You know the saying, March comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb? Well that's exactly what it did! We had tornado sirens going off here all morning yesterday (3/1) and 70 mph wind gusts, downpours like you wouldn't believe and hail. Some places reported quarter-sized hail, and they said 31 tornadoes were reported yesterday in conjunction with the storm system that stretched from northern Minnesota and Wisconsin to Texas, Alabama and even Florida. I talked to my manager yesterday morning and we were just staying put until we were sure it was all over. I ended up going to work at 10:30am. Someone said there was a report of a funnel cloud about 5 minutes away from my work... pretty scary.
Well, I think that's it for now. Just wanted to update ya'll! We're safe and sound and bracing for more crazy spring weather. Hope all of you are doing great and hopefully we'll see you soon. Sending lots of love!

Hi All!
It is definitely winter here now... all of yesterday we received about 2-3 inches of ice pellets, freezing rain and sleet, and after that, an additional 7-8" of snow. Here are just some pictures from around the yard:
There was about 2-3 inches of sleet/heavy slush on our driveway, covered by about 6" of snow. Lots of fun to shovel! So much fun, in fact, that we left half of the driveway with the slush on it. HA! Yesterday we found that my car (the red one!) handles very well in the snow, so we will probably take it anywhere we need to go today. Luckily we both did not have to go to work. We both left work around 2:15pm yesterday to try to beat the bad weather. The roads are very bad, as we don't have nearly enough equipment to handle this type of weather down here.
If you can see, the sleet and freezing rain left some ice in some interesting places!
The freezing rain covered tree limbs with about 1/4" or more of ice. It's beautiful, but it is causing more and more people to be without power. Tree limbs are snapping, even trees falling down, power lines snapping. As of about 7:30am this morning, there were over 450,000 people in the metro area without power. We do have power though... fortunately.

We do have power though... fortunately.
Today we're just hanging out at home. Our neighbor Burt went to work around 5am this morning, and he was out shoveling his driveway. Noah kidded with him about not going to work, and he mentioned he did, but they didn't have power and the roads were so bad that he just came back home. Unfortunately, his wife had to work, and was afraid to drive in the 6-8" of snow and ice still on the roads, so he was nice enough to drive her.
My boss, Jennifer, and her husband lost power around 1am, and are starting to get cold. We offered to take them in for a while, but the roads are a mess, so I doubt we have any company today. Everyone is staying in to avoid all the accidents out there.
Our Christmas party for work is cancelled (American Family). We are postponing it until January because of the holidays and busy schedules. Good-bye, juicy filet mignon, apple sage stuffed chicken breast, garlic mashed potatoes, and new york cheesecake with raspberries!!! Yuummmm!!!
Oh... and here is a picture (finally) of my new car! It's very dirty, but at least I have a picture, right? haha! Yesterday on my way home from work, the freezing rain was so heavy, my windshield wipers were frozen solid and were hardly doing anything. I had to put them on high sometimes, and put the defrost on high heat to keep the windshield from freezing up so I couldn't see. It was insane. I got home and realized that my whole car was covered in about 1/2" of solid ice. Most of it is gone now, but you can still see some on the top.
Noah's test for his first Masters class is on the 6th, so wish him luck! He is hoping to do well on this test! :)
Other than being "snowed in" and "iced in", things are pretty quiet.
See you at Christmastime!
Love,
Krista & Noah

Hello, all!
Let It Snow!
We hope you're all doing well, and surviving the cold and SNOW up there!!! And no, this is not our backyard! haha! Speaking of, we were supposed to have 1-2" on Wednesday night, but it never got cold enough. Just rained all day and all night, and almost all day Thursday. It was very windy - gusts from 25-40 mph. So it felt very cold and damp. Yuck!
The disgusting thing about the St. Louis area is that officials and residents FREAK OUT about a forecast with the word "snow" in it. The superintendent of the St. Louis school system was on the news, saying how he or someone else would stay up to the wee hours of the morning to see if they should cancel school or not. We were only supposed to ge 1-2"!!!! What is wrong with people!? Even the city plows were all ready to do, and were out on the streets salting just incase, and practicing their routes. This is all too bizarre for me, being from a place where they don't cancel school for a blizzard. I just can't get used to it!
I'm glad to see that by the middle of next week it'll be back in the mid- to upper 50's here! It's how winter should be! :)
The Car Saga Ends
You can't believe it? Well it's true! After 4 months, the car saga has finally ended!!! We picked up our brand spankin' new Toyota Camry last week Wednesday. (Can I please brag a little bit? I'm so excited!) It's absolutely gorgeous... Barcelona Red Metallic, with a sunroof and alloys (different than the picture). I absolutely love it. The ride is great, it's so quiet and comfortable and it drives great in the rain! I was getting a little nervous towards the end with the Sentra. It felt like I was sliding, plus the engine kept losing part of the power. Pretty scary sometimes. Luckily, we sold that thing to a dealer and they had no clue anything was wrong with it, didn't ask... whatever! We didn't tell. It's up to them to fix it now!
One of these days I'll get out the camera and post some pictures of us (and maybe some of me and the car! haha!).
The Ol' Grind...
Work is going well, as always. Noah is going to be working 3rd shift tonight for some project they're doing here in St. Louis. He went into work early this morning around 5:30am, and left at 2:30 so he could go home and sleep. We're going to a surprise birthday party tonight for a friend, and then he'll go back to work around midnight until they are done. I don't know how he does it.
My work is going well too. My 6 month review is coming up already. It's been great! I still love my job and my manager, Jennifer. She and I have a lot of fun, and get a lot of things done. Our district is doing pretty well this year with her managing, and hopefully with the marketing planning stuff I've been working on, even better in '07.
Speaking of, my presentation of all the marketing information that I've been working on for the last 2 months, went extremely well, and was very well received by the agents. They were clapping by the end, which made me very excited! I feel, I'm here to help all of them with what I know, and since I have a marketing and advertising background, I feel blessed and privileged to help all of them meet their goals and bring in more business. It's the least I can do! All of them said they had never been presented with all of this information before - they were basically on their own - and were glad someone put this together for them. Glad I could help! We have some great agents, and I feel honored to work with such a good bunch.
Today was a treat. I went into the office for about an hour, then go to go help out an auction team at a nice hotel by the airport. American Family puts on an auction for agents in the area every year with some nice prizes. The agents bid on prizes with points they earn for writing life insurance policies. The more policies they write, the more points they have to bid with. All the DMA's (District Manager Assistants) got to come and help where needed and have a free lunch.
The Holidays Are Here!
My goodness... we're already at the holidays again?! Where did the rest of the year go? I really don't understand how all of us could feel like we missed half the year!
For Turkey Day we'll be heading into Springfield, IL to Noah's family. The Boones (close family friends - you could call them family) are coming in, and it will be nice to see them again. This year, we will get to meet their other son, Matthew and his wife, Jennette, whom I've never met before. We have only met their one son, Jonathan. We'll probably spend some time at Noah's Aunt Rosie with his mom's side, maybe see his grandparents (dad's parents) too.
And... we will be flying up to Wisconsin for Christmas. The dates again are December 22-26. Mark your calendars... we want to see EVERYONE!!!!! :) We miss all of you!
In Other News...
What else? Well, I am leading worship this week at church, which means I got to choose all the music we sing, and basically direct our team! Practice did not start out so great, but by the end, I think we all had it down pat. I wasn't aware that one of the songs I chose, hardly anyone knew! Ooops! But it turned out great and I think we're ready for Sunday. It's really awesome to be a part of a group that's not about themselves or the music they play - it's about praising God and using the talents God has given us with singing and playing instruments to lead the people in our church in worship! It's always a lot of fun, and we're all on the same page when it comes to doing it for the right reason :)
We're having dinner with a family from our church tomorrow night, which should be fun. We've been trying to get together with them for a month or so. They have a 12 year old daughter and a 2 or 3 year old son (can't remember how old!). He is full of energy and so cute!
Something really neat happened yesterday. One of my old high school classmates contacted me via email. Funny because I never really talked to her all that much back then. But we seem to get along great now! She contacted me because I contacted the high school alumni office to see if we were going to have a reunion (don't know what prompted me to do that - maybe I was bored! haha!) and asked who was planning it. So I think I wrote the girl who was planning it, and she finally wrote me back and we emailed all yesterday. It was pretty exciting catching up with her, seeing how everything had turned out 8 years after graduation. I'd like to actually go to our reunion in 2009 to see a lot of people. Noah isn't that thrilled, as he doesn't really have interesting going to his reunion. But that's okay! I knew a lot of people in high school, and I figure, what the hay. I just think seeing people again after 10 years is exciting and interesting!
Anyway, I think that's about it for us down here! Love "ya'll!" and see you soon!

November 2, 2006
Hey Ya'll!
Whew... so much for updating this thing once a week! There is NO way I can keep up with that!
Hmm.. what's happening? Well...
Don't Get Testy...
I passed my P&C Exam on Monday!!!!!!!! P&C stands for Property & Casualty. It's basically an insurance licensing exam for home and auto. Everyone has been asking me lately, "So does this mean you can actually sell me an insurance policy now?" No, technically I cannot sell you an insurance policy! So quit asking me! haha! Just kidding... If I worked in an agent's office I could probably sell it, but since I work in a District Manager's office, I am basically going to be using my license for helping customers with complaints and possibly training agents' staff in the future. I can now take classes to learn more about how an agency works and learn the computer programs they use, which will help me with answering staff questions too.
But man... I studied for 3 1/2 weeks! And I passed with a 78%. Which is darn good, I must say! Heck, all I had to do was just PASS! ...which is a70%. So good riddens to studying every night for almost a month! I'm finally FREEEEEE!!!!!
Getting the Car...
Yep, we're going to be getting the new car soon, which is pretty exciting. It should be coming in either the end of this week, or next week! I'm VERY excited! (Yes, I know... you can't tell. There are too many exclamation points to read past... blah blah blah...)
We're going to sell my car back to a dealer and hope they don't notice that it's falling apart right before their eyes so we can get a good amount for it. Wish us luck with that... whew!
Work, work work!
Work has been going well for both of us. Noah is always finding something to do, and still happy playing with numbers and bombs and missiles. Nothing too new there.
American Family Insurance life is still awesome. I love my job (as always). I've been here almost 4 1/2 months now and am just as excited to come to work every day as I was on my first day. My manager is still wonderful and we share ideas, jokes and family stories. It's so great to have a nice manager after all the others I've had. Quite a relief.
I've been very busy the last 2 months putting together a huge marketing plan to present at our next District Meeting next week Thursday (11/9). Insurance agents are really busy people, and a lot of times, do not have a lot of knowledge about marketing, and usually don't have much time to commit to putting together a marketing plan. So what I did, was put together a crash course in marketing through American Family, and am going to let them know what's all available for them to utilize, as far as media and marketing tools goes, and also that the company matches a lot of money for them to advertise with. I'm helping all of them customize their marketing to meet their goals that they'll set for '07, and keep it within their alotted budget. It's going to be great. I just hope the agents think so! It's been a lot of work. If they don't like it, I'll find someone who does!!!!!
Nelson Update!
Jessica Nelson is doing really well, last we heard. She was getting a lot of her strength back after her surgery to remove the tumor. I believe she started chemo and radiation both this week, which will probably drain her. But the doctors say her prognosis is good - they are very sure that the chemo and radiation will permanently wipe out the rest of the tumor that they could not remove. Jessica is losing some hair, but she loves hats - she said she has taken care of that issue! :) Dave is back at work, and they have hired a full-time nanny to cook, clean and so on, who also watches little Asa. Please keep them in your prayers - especially Jess. She is a fighter and is doing great considering the circumstances.
Happy Halloween!!!
Happy Halloween to everyone! This year we went to our friends Matt & Genieve's house for a fun Halloween get-together. Matt had a bonfire going, and Genieve had the kitchen filled with good stuff to eat.
There were definitely more kids there than adults, which was pretty crazy but
you couldn't help but laugh... the little ones were SO cute in their costumes! We had everything from a flower, a tiger, batman and elmo all the way to cookie monster and a monkey! The funniest thing was watching the 2 year-old cookie monster try pop rocks... hilarious!!!!
Anyway... it was soooo good to see Matt and Geneive again. We hadn't seen them
since about February. Genieve is pregnant and ready to pop - she only has about 2 1/2 weeks to go! They are very excited and don't have a clue what the baby is - boy or girl. It will be great to see them again after the baby is born - they'll be great parents!
Who Will Carve the Bird???
Oh, don't be a Turkey!!! *Gobble, gobble!*
We are going to spend Thanksgiving with Noah's family this year in Springfield, IL. It will be fun, and there will be literally tons of food... as always! We'll probably have our usual ginormous meal at his Aunt Rosie's house. The counters are filled with pans and pots, both ovens are going, and the stove, and there are usually
8-10 pies in the basement on a table, waiting to be eaten. It's pretty crazy!
Well, that's about it from the St. Louis Browns. Wow, what a horrible name for a sports team! Haha! Anyway... adios, amigos!
Oh yeah.... and if ya didn't hear... we are the WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
