Holidays 09

David and I stayed home for Thanksgiving this year. Last year, we went to some friends for T'giving lunch...but this year I decided to cook us our own meal. I had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year.

Here is a little preview of some of the food we had. We watched the Macy's T'giving Parade and Football while we ate. Ahhh..nothing better than football and food! Hahaha!

That night I was able to drag David along with me to do a little Black Friday Christmas Shopping. I've NEVER gone shopping at 3am before....but I LOVED it! I can't wait to do it again next year. David said he isn't going...and I told him that was fine because then he could watch the baby. I think he changed his mind after that! Haha!

I didn't take any pictures while we were in Indiana for Christmas with David's family. But here is a picture of what the roads looked like while we were traveling from IN to GA. It was nice to see snow...but I was glad when we were out of it. Lol

Christmas at my family's is ALWAYS a riot. We laughed, ate alot, played games, made fun of each other, played music and sang, and just had a great time. This is David and I with my sister Susan's youngest, Weston. He was tired Christmas Eve and so he got to snuggle with me for awhile.

This is my nephew Ethan reading the Christmas Story from the Bible on Christmas Eve. He is only in first grade but knew most of the words already. I'm soo proud of him. He has come such a long way and is becoming a very special young man.

Christmas Afternoon, David and I left and headed to my sister's in SC. My nephew Carson (who shares a Birthday with me) wants to be a Brain Surgeon when he grows up. So his grandparents got him some really cool doctor stuff for Christmas. This was him listening to my heartbeat. We were able to hear the baby's heartbeat too. Carson thought it was so cool to hear his little cousin's heartbeat.

And I'll end this post with a special picture of my adorable neice and I!!!! Can you tell she is my favorite niece? Okay soo what if she is my only niece...she is still my favorite! Hahahaha!!!!

Our Big News of the Year:-D

David and I are going to have a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are sooooooooo excited!!!! We found out July 3rd while we were at camp. It was awesome being able to have my family there to enjoy the news with us. Our parents are all so excited and all the aunts and uncles are ready to spoil her:-D Lol!!!

Well I haven't blogged in several months soo I thought I would pick it back up!! Alot of things have happened since I last posted! Lol!!!! I'm going to try and hit on a few highlights and then do a few more posts:-D

In May, I got to fly out to Colorado to visit with some VERY dear friends of mine. Hayley had just had Jordon so I flew out for her baby shower. I was soo happy to be able to spend time with my good friends and such a cute little baby:-D

Then in July, David and I went to Alabama for our annual vacation to Family Camp. Almost my whole family was able to be there and it was soo much fun. David enjoyed being able to get away from the MC for awhile and I enjoyed being with all my family and some of my dearest friends. This picture is of my adopted sister, Angela (who was a missionary teacher to Belieze at the time but was able to fly home for a vacation), me, and my best friend Joyce.

Uncle David and Emma got to bond while at camp and I loved watching him take care of her. He is gonna be such a great dad!!!

My precious little angel and I...

I can't believe that next year at camp, I'll have a kid. Wow...soo weird! Lol!!! I grew up at camp...and I really hope my child is able to get the same!!!

On July 4th, we went with some friends to see fireworks. I love this picture of us because it shows our personalities. Lol! We both love having fun and we have a blast together. I'm sooo glad that God gave me such an amazing man!!!!!!

In Aug., Carrie (David's sister) married Josh Kline. David was unable to go thanks to the MC...but thank the Lord for technolgy. He was able to watch the wedding online. I was her matron of Honor. I was soo excited to be in her wedding....but it was very hard not having David there to enjoy it with me!

Our families great friends from Florida drove up for the wedding and I had fun getting to spend a little bit of time with my flower girl:-D David was jeolous he didn't get to see his "other" girl:-D

A couple of high school pals and I...

On Aug. 16th, David and I celebrated our one year ann.!!! I couldn't believe how fast time seemed to have flown! I was soo happy that I married this man! He has made my wildest dreams come true. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!!!!

Josh surprised Carrie on their honeymoon by swinging by our house on their way back to Florida. It was soo much fun having them here for a weekend. I know David loved seeing his sister. It made us all more excited about living in the same town when we move this summer!!!

Trying to Catch up.....

I guess I haven't blogged in FOREVER....soo I decided to sit down and update ya'll!!! Start at the bottom because the pictures ended up being out of order. Lol!!!! Enjoy!!!


I just wanna say that I have the best hubby in the whole wide world! He has rocked my world for the past 2 years...and especially these 8 months of marriage! I couldn't have asked for a better husband!! In our time together we have had many times where God has tested our trust in Him and each other....but through it all, we have come through victorious!!! One year ago yesterday was his homecoming from Iraq....and I'm sooo thankful that God brought him safetly home to me!!!!!! *I love you, pumkin!! Thank you for being the best hubby EVER!!!!!!!!!!*

THEN this month, my dear friend Jackie came and visited us!!! She is the first real company that we have had! We LOVEDDD having her! We basically just ate and watched movies the whole weekend! It was heaven! Hahahaha!!!

Finally after 7 long months! Yea, I was shedding a few tears at this point myself! Lol!!!!

THENNNNNNN on March 25th, I had the honor of photographing my dear friend Julie's homecoming!!! Julie and I met through my inlaws/her parents. But by the time we finally offically met, Marcus was deployed. So David and I made it our goal to keep her busy and take care of her while Marcus was gone. WE had a blast and made sooo many memories with her and Jenny!!!! Including spending four days moving her into her gorgeous new house!!!

This was taken back in Febuary during the SuperBowl. Since our guys were gone, my friend Jenn and I had our own SuperBowl Party!!!! Lol! Jenn and I's hubby's are in the same unit! She and I have become super close friends!!! Also our inlaws know each other and Jenn is from the same town as my inlaws so I'm sure that we will be friends even after we all leave the Corps!!!

March the 17th was St. Patty's Day soo we dressed in Green and headed to our buddy's house. George was getting out of the Corps that week so we had an awesome going away party for him. David and George are best friends and I know that David misses him terribly now!!

My Beautiful Sisters and I after the funural!!!!!

Then later I got to go spend a few minutes with my dear in-laws!!! It was a fast but wonderful weekend other than the fact that David couldn't be with me:-(

Then at the beginning of March, we lost my grandadddy! He had been sick for awhile and so I was happy that he was finally to go see Jesus and Grandmother. He was in WW2 so he had a military bural. That is the part that got me the most! I'm soo proud to have had two grandaddy's who served their country and their God!!!!

Then in March, I FINALLY got to see snow!!

In January David left for 40+ days to California for a training mission. So I headed home to see my new nephew, Weston Kyle. Then I went to Martha's house for a week or so. While at Martha's, I celebrated my 21st birthday. It was sad to be without David but I was with family. Carson and I share our birthday so that made it more fun too!!!

Getting ready for Christmas....

My friend got me hooked on making my own Christmas cards:-D It is soo much fun. I only did a few this year...but next year I plan on doing alot more.

Not your usuall post

hi everyone, this is christas husband david. i would have posted on my blog, but none of you are on it so it would have been pretty much pointless. i try my best to be somewhat humorous when i write these things. i find that laughter is the best medicine for anything. i then further deduced that laughing hysterically at something could probably raise then dead so i am now wondering if causing someone to laugh in such a manner would really benefit us at all. i dont know about you but seeing a dead person alive again would be a little unsettling. i have been censored by the owner of this blog from discussing with you any further findings i came up with do to the fact that talking about deceased persons on the aforementioned persons blog is now prohibited. if you enjoyed the first portion of what most people would call the musings of a deranged moron, then please feel free to let us know. if you did not enjoy them, well....... dont say anything for fear the fleas of a thousand camels will do something i am also scensored from saying on this blog. ttfn.
