It's Christmas Time!

Since it is December first and time to get in the Christmas mood I have decided to change up my blog!!

We had a great thanksgiving this year. My parents went to the lake house so we went to Kory's aunt's house. I didn't take my camera but we had a fun time eating and enjoying each others company. We had so much food it was crazy!! I cooked this year and was very proud of my self!! I made sweet potato casserole, corn casserole and banana nut bread for each family to take home. I made 9 loaves of bread in 2 days!!

My aunt Deede and I love to shop on Black Friday every year together but when the ads came out I didn't see anything I had to have. (Well I shouldn't say that Santa did make a nice little purchase for me so we didn't have to fight the crowds!!) My mom called from out of town and had some things she wanted me to look for if we were out and about. So my aunt calls about 9pm Thursday and says she wants to pick me up at 11:30pm to be at Toys r us. So I agree to go!! Let me give you the short version and say that at midnight there was already a line of about 500 people at our Toys R Us so we went to another one near by that had a line for about 800!! We didn't go there!! Best Buy also had a pretty long line at midnight so we decided to take a look around WalMart since they were open at midnight. Nothing went on sale till 5am so we waited around WalMart for 5 hours!!! It was actually lots of fun and my aunt and I stayed out till about 9am and got lots of things crossed off our lists.

My house is decorated with lots of decorations I made this year and I will post pics soon!! I am trying to be crafty before I have kids because I know once I do I probably won't have the time!!

Nutcraker Market

This past weekend me, mom and my mother in law went to the Nutcracker Market is Houston. If you have never been and you live in the Houston area you need to catch it next year. It is every woman's dream!! The Nutcracker market is in a big hall and has 300 plus booths of Christmas decor, children's clothing and things for women!! It is so much fun! This year I came home with a new collar for my puppy, a cute plaque, a dress, and things for my Christmas tree. I am hoping to get my Christmas tree up soon but that all depends on when my husband gets all the decor out of the attic.

P.S.- Sorry I haven't posted about Kory's Halloween costume yet! (My younger brother took my camera and I haven't downloaded all the pictures yet!) I will try and post some by the end of the week!

Wedding Bliss

So in the month of October we have attended 2 weddings. We actually had 2 on one Saturday but couldn't make it to both since one was in College Station. And as of now my calendar is clear of any wedding in the near future!! I have counted....since we have been married (a year and a half...crazy I know!!) we have been invited to 15 weddings but we only able to attend 9. 9 weddings in that short period of a time!! We have adored every wedding that we have attended because each couple holds a special place in our hearts. I don't have any pics from the latest wedding that we attended because I never whipped out my camera but here are a few from a wedding out of state. It deserves a post of its own and that will be coming shortly!!

Fishers of Men

This Sunday, my youngest brother had a big physics project due. It was to build a boat out of nothing by cardboard and masking tape. His partners and himself then had to take it to the Boat Races and see how well they did. I did this project when I was in High school and it was so much fun! I wish I could find some picture of when I did the project but at this moment I can't. It is lots of fun to see how long the students boats stay afloat and how many labs they can get in 10 minutes. Kyle's boat made it about 8 minutes and about 6 laps. I was pretty impressed. Enjoy!!











There boat was named Matthew 4:19 and they were the fishers of men. They were so cute!!

Guess Who???

So take a look at the photos. Guess who my husband is going to be for Halloween?!!?


I can't tell you yet because it is a big secret. At work every year each department dresses up together and there is a competition for best theme. If they win the get lunch on the compnay and a half day off of work. So it is kind of a big deal! Stay tuned and I will show you a picture of him all dressed up!
