Christmas...just in the nick of time!

Today is January 21st. In my world that's just about perfect timing to tell y'all about the wonderful Christmas my family and I shared almost a month ago. I don't think I've been that excited about Christmas since I was a kid! My sweet hubby and I spoiled each other way too much but it was soooo much fun! And, hey, it was our first Christmas as a married couple so it was extra special! On Christmas morning we were so excited to open our gifts that we got up at 6 a.m.! And no, we didn't just rip through the presents; we actually read the account of Christ's birth in Luke first and prayed together. Then, we took turns opening our gifts and just enjoyed each other's company. That afternoon, we went over to my parents' house to eat dinner and visit. My Sis's husband was still up in North Dakota on TDY so we all decided to wait on his return to have our family Christmas. Which was great because we got to have Christmas twice!! We didn't take many pictures this year, but here's a few...

It was a great Christmas this year...er, I mean last year. The only bad thing was, it ended too soon! It's such a shame to have looked forward to something for so long and then it's gone in ONE day! Oh well. Good thing it comes around every year!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday! Toot-a-loo!

Oh, how time flies!

It's been a year, y'all. A year since I married the love of my life, the funniest man on earth, the sweetest husband around, and the only leader I will follow unconditionally. Nathan and I have said several times over the course of this first year together that it has been so easy and FUN!! Everyone said there would be an adjustment period where we would be getting used to each other's habits, but, we're still waiting for that to happen! Maybe we are super easy-going because it seems as though we've blended our lives seamlessly. Of course, there's been a few little "I do it this way..." moments, but no big blow-ups and such. When I look at my husband, I am constantly reminded of how HUGELY God blessed me with this man. I am absolutely, 100% positive that there is no other man more perfect for me than Nathan. Our love story is too full of God's hand and we are just so much alike. Even our differences complement one another. For instance, I abhor doi

Hello? It's me again!

Hello all! Apparently I decided to take a 2 1/2 month blog break. I know, you wish I would've warned you. But, the thing is, it just sorta happened on the fly. I got busy, was too lazy to post, and my sister moved away (that's a whole other post). And to top it all off, my computer decided to succumb to one or several of the viruses floating around WebLand. So, when I was ready to post two weeks ago...ha! no internet connection! So there. Those pesky little 1's and 0's showed me! I just thought I was gonna get back into the swing of blogging. Anyway, my computer has been revived (thank you, Lord) and I am anxious to show you what I've been up to this summer. Yes, I have a few PICTURES! Yay! Actually, this post is going to be rife with pics since I'm so behind. They may or may not be in chronological order, though. It depends on how cooperative Blogger is today. *wink* Many of you know that my sister and I like to make stuff and since she now lives thousands of

Dixieland Delight

It's one of my favorite "Alabama" songs. And it also happens to be the term I give to anything that makes this Southern girl happy (as of this post anyway--I just came up with it). Corny, I know. But hey, I can only work with the dorky genes God gave me, right? Anywho, back to my point... I love being a girl! The clothes, the jewelry, the ability to get away with crying for no apparent reason...I could go on and on. Sometimes when I'm feeling especially excited to be a girl, I'll say it out loud and then my hubby just shakes his head and laughs at me. He's just jealous. Yesterday, I got to go ramblin' around with a friend of mine whom we shall call "K." She's going to be in a wedding this weekend and needed someone to go get their nails done with her. Who am I to deny a friend in need? So naturally, I tagged along. We caught up on each other's lives since we haven't seen one another in awhile. We nosed around a cute little paperie
