Chris & Brittney

Chris and I have been together for 3 years, and we were married the weekend that we met, May 10Th, 2008. It was one of the best days of our lives (So Far). Since we have been married our lives have changed drastically, and its been for the better. Chris is the Crew Chief for a race team for Volkswagen which moved us to Danville Virginia just days after our wedding. We are living in our own house now, and we are loving it! We have a 3bd, 2.5 bath, and 4 acres of land. So we are looking forward to our family and friends visiting! Chris and I are so happy living here, and are looking forward to facing life's changes together and one day starting a family.

Christmas Vacation

I have been meaning to update my blog...but i have been really busy with work and just getting things done around the house. Well Chris and I spent 3 fun filled weeks in California, it was so hard to get on a plane and come home. We enjoyed spending time with our friends and our family. The time just seemed to fly by we were busy every night! We had a fantastic Christmas, and New Years. Chris and I are getting a house full of furniture for Christmas! We are so excited. We already got our new bed and we love going to bed now! We hate waking up in the morning too.

California HERE WE COME!

Chris and I leave for California in 3 days and we cant wait! We are so excited that we get to spend Christmas with our friends and family! We will be there for 3weeks. We don't really have anything planned, just to enjoy some warmer weather! Its been 27degrees here and that's COLD! We had snow one day and that was really neat to see. I am also really excited that i get to bring my dog Chewie home with me! I have missed her so much.
Well we have lots to do before we leave.

Skype Anyone?

Dose anyone use SKYPE? Chris and I were introduced to this by my brother. He uses it to talk to his friend in the UK. Its really awesome, and 100% FREE! Skype is a video phone, a webcam is not needed but its really neat being able to talk to some one and see them at the same time. Its really helps to make you not feel so far apart! I use it to talk to my parents, and we don't feel so far apart when we can see them when we want. So if you ever want to Skype us our ID is cbwares, or my email brittneywares@yahoo.com
If you need to download the software its skype.com
We look forward to talking/seeing you soon!

November Update!

So there have been alot of things that have happened and i just have not had time to really blog about them... so i am going to say it all right now...

Starting with we moved into our very own house and we are loving every min here! We have 4 acres of land and Toby loves being able to run around as much as he wants without a leash! We have a 3 Bed, 2 1/2 Bath with a basement. Its an older home but fits us perfectly. Unfortunately we do not have any furniture. Our landlord is really great, he is letting us use what he has in the house, which isn't much, but fun for entertaining. We have a pool table, dart board, pinball machine, poker table, and a kitchen table and chairs! So that's pretty much it that in our house except for the air mattress that Chris and I have been sleeping on. We don't even have a TV! We have cable and internet just no TV. So when we want to watch something we either put in a DVD into our laptop or watch whatever we can on youtube or something else. What can i say we are truly living like newly weds and we are loving every min of it!


Our Happy Home!


Check out our flooring!

Nice Big Patio!

Our Driveway!

So Next.... I had a job change. I was working at Southern Showcase selling Modular Homes, and at first it seemed like it could be a really great job, but as time went on i learned alot of things about the company that i just didn't agree with. Plus the hours that i worked really took away from spending time with Chris. I was not home until 7:30 every night, so we never shared a meal together and only spent a few hours each night together. So starting this Tuesday, i am going to learn to become a florist! I am really excited about this opportunity that i have. I have such a creative mind, and i love to decorate not to mention love flowers! So why not do something that i really have a passion for. Best of all, I'm really excited to learn how to take care of flowers, and plants so that i can have them all over my yard and house and i wont kill them!


Our puppy Toby, has really grown alot! I remember when i could hold him in one arm and now i can hardly pick him up. He has grown out of his small cage, and upgraded to a bigger one! We are hoping that this will be the last cage that we will have to buy since they are not very cheap!
These are the recent photos of him at our new home.

Big Cage

He Loves Car Rides

Our Final and most recent change was the purchase of a "NEW" (to us) Car!
With the weather starting to change its been getting colder and colder here! When we wake up in the mornings its about 27 degrees outside! Burr.... and poor Chris has had no other type of transportation other than his motorcycle! Even though we only live about 7miles away from the track its been so cold, where he has had to pull of the side of the road and warm his hands up in the exhaust! So we have been looking for a cheap car that will get us threw the winter and Chris finally found a car that i think is perfect for him a 1991 RX7! We drove to Richmond on Saturday (about 2 1/2 hours away) and came home with a new car. The drive home was really interesting when we learned that the windows were broken and they were down! So we had our winter jackets on, heat on high, and 2 1/2 hours later we were home! Today we worked on the car, washed it, painted the wheels black, fixed the windows, changed the brakes, and a few minor things. But its in great condition and we are looking forward to having a fun little car that we can play with. Chris is excited because next Friday he is allowed to take the car on the track and race around. I just hope that he wont get any other ideas come next Friday! Here are the pics of our new car.

HaPPy HaLLowEEn



Chris and I had so much fun at a Halloween Party that we went too...
Our original idea that we were going to go as was a couple of nerds (we figured we could come up with something that we already had at home) Well after just browsing some shops we ended up changing our costumes completely! Chris went as "IRON MAN" and i went as a chick from the 80's we had alot of fun putting these costumes together. The best part is, i used a jacket that my mom use to wear!! Here's some pics

Race Season Is OVER!






We finished our race season with a great final race in Atlanta Georgia! It was a great race too! The winner of the 2008 Jetta TDI cup was Josh Hurley!
He really deserved the win too, he raced hard this season and had no support from his family.
He walked away with $100,000 a chance is race in the pollo cup in Germany,
he also gets to be a guest race car driver in another race in Germany.
Chris and all the guys worked so hard this season especially the last 3 weeks he was gone and only home for 3nights! They traveled from Iowa-New Jersey- Georgia without a day off!
Each weekend they worked from 4-5 in the morning till 12:30 at night!
I am so proud of all the guys they really did go above and beyond at every race. Sleep was not an option for these guys. They finished off this season with a really nice banquet and really showed appreciation to all the Techs, because with out them this team would not be here today.
They gave each Tech a personalized Tork Wrench with there name on it. It was really fitting for each guy. Here are some pics from Georgia





He would sleep anywhere....


Race Morning.....5am!!
