New Bedroom

Well the bedroom is 98% done and we just have a few finishing touches to do but it's mostly completed. We have moved everything into our closets now and all we have to buy now is new bedroom furniture! We really love it and it's so cozy! Here's some pics....

My closet (not all of my clothes were in there yet..obviously)

Chris' Ring Dunk

This past weekend me & Matt went to College Station (the home of the Fighting Texas Aggies) for my brother's ring dunk. It is a tradition at Texas A&M that when you get your graduation ring that you have a party and dunk your ring in a pitcher of beer as fast as you can! Dad even dunked his ring too but in a glass (Go Dad)! Me, Mom and Chris cooked all day and prepared for the party. We had chicken and beef fajitas, rice, beans, guacamole, hot sauce, queso and homemade chocolate, peanut butter chip and pecan cookies (that I made thank you very much). I have to say those cookies were yummy. I made over 4 dozen and they were GONE by the end of the night. Some of Chris' friends wanted me to open a bakery...I think my friend Nicole would get a kick out of that! Nicole I am getting pretty good at the baking..maybe that's what we should do one day together. We could call it Nic & Ro's...lol! Anyways, Matt & Dad cooked the fajitas and were the bartenders...they did such a good job! We also sat outside by the firepit and the guys smoked cigars and we roasted marshmellows. The next morning me, Mom and Chris cooked a big breakfast for everyone! It was such a fun weekend with my family! We are so proud of my brother and all that he has accomplished at Texas A&M and we can't wait till he graduates in August of '09! We love you bubba!

Juliana's Birthday Party

Matt & I went to Virginia a couple of weekends ago for Juliana's birthday party! Juliana is one of my very best friend's Christie's daughter. She turned 5 and had such a great time. She had a princess throne and she deserved every bit of happiness on her special day! Juliana is so special to us and we were so glad that we could be there! We were also able to spend some time with Christie and sweet little Ashlyne (her other daughter) and her family which was a lot of fun. After the party, me, Matt & Christie all went to eat at "On the Border" for some great mexican food and yummy margaritas! Thanks for inviting us Christie...we had so much fun! I actually want that princess throne for myself now...lol! We love you!

Halloween Fun

Well I know this blog is a little late but in my world these days it's better late than never! We had so much fun on our first Halloween as newlyweds. Matt went and got us pizza (our normal friday night food) and I stayed home and got all dressed up (since I am still a kid at heart) and waited for the kids to come by so I can give out candy! The kids were so cute! Also, Jenna, Joanna (my sisters in law), Eric (my brother in law), Cheryl and her kids Destiny and Daniel (my brother in law's girlfriend) came by too for some candy and pictures! It was such a fun night!

Wedding Bliss

Last Saturday we went to Laura Raffaelli and Barry Archambault's wedding. Matt's parents and Laura's parents have been best friends forever. These two families have basically grown up together. The wedding was so beautiful and it was such a fun time. My sisters in law Jenna & Joanna were in the wedding and they looked absolutely beautiful! We danced all night long! Am I having deja vu....we did the exact same thing at our wedding! It was a great day for Laura & Barry and we are so happy for them. Welcome to Wedding Bliss.....it's such a great adventure! Here's some great photos of the Schumacher clan......

Fall Ball 2008

This past Sunday, we had the Schumacher Annual Fall Ball which consists of playing touch football, pumpkin carving and yummy food and drinks! We had such a good time! Our team won...with me tagging Matt...hee, hee! We had tons of hor derves which everyone chipped in to make! Uygar (my future brother-in-law) made all of the wraps and baked ziti! I made homemade chocolate chip and pumpkin cookies. I got really creative and even decorated the pumpkin cookies for Halloween! We also had homemade brownies and hot chocolate. My father in law set-up the tv on the deck so we could watch "Garfield Halloween" and "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" in which Matt recited the entire movie...he's so cute! Peanut (the family dog) even dressed up in her lady bug costume...she was really cold! Now we are officially ready for Halloween with our carved pumpkin!! It was such a fun day!!

Me running with the football! Scary!

Night Out with The Millers

We had so much fun this past Saturday when we got together with our friends Bud & Melissa! We traveled to New Jersey and met them for dinner and visited some of the fire houses nearby. We had such a fun time! We went to dinner at this Country Club where they live and there was a live band. We thought it was going to be a really cool band...but not so much...but that was the fun of it all! Melissa & I laughed so hard at these people dancing to "Under the Boardwalk" and many many more older tunes! Especially at the woman who had her portable fan plugged in to the table so she wouldn't get too hot! It was hilarious! The food was awesome and the entertainment was at the least very entertaining. The lead singer went around to every table to get people to sing some of the songs and "of course" she comes by our table and "of course" I participated...we were cracking up! It was such a fun night with yummy food & drinks! We can't wait to our next night out with The Millers! Who knows what's in the cards for us next time!
