Look What I Got...

I got this in the mail today!!! I love getting wedding presents! Its it pretty?! Now, I just need to learn how to use it!

The beautiful invitation

My sweet friends hosted a bridal shower for me today. I had so much fun! And I am so excited because I still get to have 2 more!

I love the Mailman :)

Lots of fun wedding stuff came in the mail this week!
Here are some pictures of some of that stuff and other things I got over the break.

A very fun free gift that came with the seals- luggage tags with my new name :)

Overheard in My Class Today.....

Kindergartner #1- "God is dead."

Kindergartner #2- "No He is NOT!! He raiseded!"

Kindergartner #1- "Ok, Jesus is dead"

Kindergartner #2- "He is NOT!! He is everywhere. He is sitting on your head right now."

............... picks up crayons and finishes work.

Amen :)

Things I Did Not Get Done on My Break

1. Finish the house... still need to finish the dining room, bathroom, front door, and backyard.

2. Finish wedding stuff.

3. Start and stick to an Extreme Wedding Diet.

4. Work out everyday... maybe worked out once or twice.

5. Have longer and more meaningful quiet times with Jesus.


Guess I will start tomorrow :)

Happy New Year!

I just wrote a long blog about my christmas break and my resolutions.... and then erased it on accident. I don't really feel like typing it again... so I will just put up a New Year's picture :)

Today...

JT

Today was a sad day for Danny's Cowboys and my Broncos- at least I got some cute pictures out of it :)

Wedding Shoe Blues

I really want tiffany blue/aqua shoes to go with my dress... but I can't find any anywhere!! I, along with Emily and Grace, have put in some long hours searching on the internet. But everytime I find a pair, they are discontinued or not in my size. These are the three I love, but can't find. Sigh.

A Petting Zoo???

Nope, thats my new backyard :)

Elf Yourself :)

Send your own ElfYourself eCards

Oh Christmas Tree...

This is my little Christmas tree- and Rocky in front of my first fire in the fireplace :)

Thanksgiving Fun

Remodeling the house. We hate the wallpaper!
Megan's giant Rice Krispie Treat!

Sister Friends cooking Thanksgiving

Megan made homemade cranberry sauce

Isaiah's 3rd Birthday Party at Chuck's

Its been a great Thanksgiving break, although I am really really not ready to go back to work tommorrow! Just 3 more weeks until Christmas break :)

More Engagement Pics

The wonderful and talented Brandi Thompson sent us some more of our engagement pics today! Those are some of my favorites!

Found One!

Well, I found a dress- and there were no tears! Well, I didn't have tears but my mom and my sister and my 2 best friends did... thats a good sign I think :) Its not the one I thought I would get, but as soon as I put in on I knew it was the one. I really wanted to post a picture of it- but my mom says I can't! Oh, well- just a few more months.

I am off of work all week and I am so happy! I love my job, but I think Kindergartners can sense a vacation coming and it makes the week before a break really really LONG! I started packing today- and tomorrow we will start cleaning and painting the new house. One of these days I will remember to take my camera along so I can post some pictures of it. Because I really must show everyone the lovely wallpaper before I rip it off :)

Danny and I had our second premarital counseling session today- its been really good for us and I am so thankful that we have such wondeful people working with us. We are so grateful for Providence Church.

Ok, I am going to pack more boxes now. Or maybe go to bed :)

Wedding Dress Shopping

This is the one I have been hoping is "The One"

I'm supposed to be excited right?? I am kind of dreading it. Not because I don't want to get married.... I am very excited about that! I am just a horrible horrible shopper. And 9 times out of 10, I end up in the dressing room crying. Anyway, I am taking some good people with me on Saturday- hopefully there will be no tears and I will be one of those "Oh, it was the first dress I tried on..." type of people. Wish me luck!

House

Danny and I signed a lease tonight for a home in Aubrey! We are very excited! I will live there until we get married in March, but it is just a few streets down from where Danny is living right now. It is an older home (with really ugly wallpaper!) but it is perfect for us right now. I will post some pictures soon!

Trick or Treat

Princess Iris

Me and Mickey :)

Grace and her kids

I got to go visit my best friend and her family this weekend in Wichita Falls. Grace and I took Isaiah trick or treating while Delawrence stayed home with Iris on candy duty. While Grace and I were walking Isaiah around I was remembering all the times we went trick or treating together growing up- I can't believe we are now old enough to have our own kids to take!!

Halloween Candy

My favorite Halloween candy of all time are these super hero candy sticks. Yep, I am aware that most people find them disgusting. But its ok, I admit it- I LOVE them. Unfortunately, the wedding diet doesn't allow me to have them this year- sigh. What's your favorite Halloween candy??

Joe T's

I just have to say I LOVE Joe T's with my whole heart. Especially their pina coladas and nachos! YUM.

Engagement Pics

The wonderful Brandi Thompson has posted a few pics on her blog and myspace page from our engagement session with her yesterday.We had so much fun with her- she is great! Go check out all her work! The link to her blog is on the left of my page. Thanks Brandi!
