Steve...
Before I met you, I never thought that I would be so dependent on anyone but myself. Now that you are in my life, I couldn't imagine my life with out you. You truly complete me. You always seems to find the right words to say at the right time to make me smile. Even when we are apart just thinking of you put smiles on my face.
You might not know it, but you make me whole. You are the light at the end of my tunnel. You're the only thing that keeps me sane. I could not ask for anything better, because you're the best. You make me so happy in so many ways. You've opened my eyes to so many new things. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. Thank you for putting up with me when I pout and when I whine. Thank you for listening to me blabb on about stuff that makes no sense. Most of all thank you for not only being my best freind but also my sole-mate.
I love you so much.. I love the way you hold me. I love the way you hug and kiss me. I love your touches and you smiles. I love the way your eyes glow when they look at me.. Most of all I love that you let me love you!
Nui

Our Babies..

This is popcorn.. he is a 16 months maltese. He weighs about 9 pounds. He loves to sleep with mommy Nui and plays with daddy Steve. His favorite treats are beggin strips..
This is our new baby... buckeye.. We don't really know how old she is.. But we know that she love to play with her brother popcorn. Buckeye likes to cuddle with daddy Steve and likes to chew on mommy Nui.

They are both great kids... We are so happy to have them in our lives even when they misbehaved.. We are also very happy that they get along...

Aunt Darcy and Uncle Jeff

We just wanted to say thank you very much for letting us invade you house for a week. We are truly grateful for your hospitality. Thank you for making us feel at home.
The house is so beautiful just like the people that live inside it. We couldn't ask for a better aunt and uncle.
Aunt Darcy, you still make the best pasta salad ever. The pasta casserole was also awesome. But Nui's favorite has got to be the sloppy joes..
By the way..We are practing our swing for a rematch the next time we see you..lol
Love you both..

Brutus

We took a tour into Columbus to get some buckeye stuff today. As we went thru town we saw Brutus. Brutus was dressed up in different outfits at different locations. It was really cool.. We only found three of them but we were told that their are a lot more of them out there. They were a part of the "Brutus on Parade" thing.

Nui's first experiences with snow..

My first experience with snow was so awesome. This was the first time that I have ever seen snow in my life. I was so excited that I was actually going to get to play in the soft white snow. Steve wanted nothing to do with the snow. So Haley (my new cousin) was nice enough to play with me. She taught me to slade down the hill. It was so fun!
Haley also taught me how to make a snow angel. But for some reason, mine didn't look as good as hers.

We had so much fun playing in the snow. I didn't want to quit; but since it was getting dark, Haley thought that it would be best to go inside. Thank you Haley for such a wonderful time.

Now all I have to do is to pursuade Steve to move back to Ohio.. Lol

Today is a sad day..

We arrived in Ohio today just in time to say our last goodbyes to Uncle Henry. Although I've never had the pleasure of meeting him when he was well, I feel like I've known him my whole life. The way that the family talked about uncle Henry was so wondeful, the memories that they shared with me I will truly treasure forever. If I can turn back time, I would like to actually get to know this wonderful man in person...

This was also the first time that I met the Ashcraft family for the first time. Eventhough they were in pain, they all gave me a great welcome. They all made me feel like a part of the family. I will never forget the smiles and the warm hugs from my new family. I am totally blessed to be a part of the Ashcraft.

Aunt Phyllis, Perry, and Matt...
We love you with all of our hearts and our thoughts and prayers are with you yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.
Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you.
p.s. Remember that if you are ever in Florida, please know that you are welcome to stay with us..

Well once again I decided to post another blog regarding Uncle Henry as i have been sitting here all night just thinking about the times I spent with him. The one that comes to mind the most was when I would spend the weekends down in Hanover with Uncle Danny and Uncle Henry while waiting for Keith(Uncle Danny's son) to go and race at R&R Speedway in Zanesville, Ohio. I would be sitting over at Uncle Henry's house while I was waiting for Uncle Danny to get his old piece of junk(lol) Chevy S-10 to start. After the temper rose and the foul words started commin outta Uncle Danny's mouth, Uncle Henry would say to me "Stevie I think it's time for you to get over there so you all can head down to the track!!!" lol.

Love you and will miss you always Uncle Henry........

Uncle Henry

Well good evening everybody. I hate to leave a blog like the following, but I have to do it. It is with deep regret that after Perry and Aunt Phyliss spoke with the doctors this evening that they have decided to remove Uncle Henry from the ventilator. They will do so Saturday morning allowing his to brothers Paul and Danny the time to get to Ohio to say their goodbyes. Diane and Danell (Paul's wife and Danny's daughter) will accompany them to ohio.

Steve and Nui will be leaving Friday morning to drive to Beaufort, SC. They will stay in Beaufort Friday night then drive to Ohio Saturday morning early with Steve's brother Scott.

Everybody please pray for Perry, Matt, Aunt Phyliss and the entire Ashcraft family.

Well everybody here she is. I have to say that Nui is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my lifetime. She does everything for me and always puts me first. It is amazing to find someone that compliments me so well.

Nui always knows how to make me laugh and knows me so well. There is not one minute that goes by where we are not thinking of each other. When we are away from each other we miss each other non-stop. It started out that way 4 months ago and unlike most relationships when it wears off our love continues to get stronger and stronger for one another.

We are both sorry and unfortunate that we are not closer to family, but Florida is where we are at for now. Nui is looking forward to July when we go to Ohio to see the Ashcraft clan and mom's side of the family as well.

I have to just end this note with GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 more games to go.

And finally....................

God please watch over our Uncle Henry to pull him through this as he is not ready to leave his family quite yet.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

hello..

Hello everybody... This is Steve and Nui... We started this blog because we figured that it would be a great idea to give you a little bit of an insight into our lives.

We met each other while Steve was training to become a manager for pf changs. After five weeks of training, Steve finally had the guts to ask Nui out.. And ofcourse, Nui has been waiting for Steve to do so but didn't know how to approach him.

From the first day that Nui laid eyes on Steve, she knew that she was in trouble. She knew that Steve was going to be the one that she was going to spend the rest of her life with. There was something about Steve that caught Nui's attention and still catching it till this day. It hard to say and it's hard to believe but we both kind of knew that we were meant for each other. Steve has never fail to impress Nui in everything that he does for her. He treats her like a queen all the time. He loves her and all of her flaws. Nui couldn't ask for a better man.

Since we've started our jouney together, it has always been an adventure.. Sometimes good and sometimes bad, but in the end we both know that we will always be by each other's side.

Metro Zoo

We were so happy that Scott brought Alexis and Scotty to visit us for New Year. They spent the weekend down in Florida with us. On their first day down.. Nui and Alexis had their girls day while Steve, Scott, and Scotty had their boys day. Nui and Alexis went to the mall, walked around a bit then got their nails done. The boys went around town and looked at Harley's.

The next day we brought the kids down to Miami Metro Zoo. We had a blast. The zoo wasn't all it was cracked up to be because all the animals were sleeping. But we still had a great time. The kids enjoyed the little water park a lot. That was the hi-light of the day. Due to the fact that Scott went with us, we couldn't get junk food into the kids.. but somehow we managed to get some junk food into them..lol! Nui and the kids all got wall-e shirts to wear to the zoo. Uncle Steve didn't get one because he was to big.

We love spending time with the kids. We would love to have them back anyday!
