Travelin fools

Ok, I apparently really suck at keeping up with my blog. Since my last post I attended the egg bowl and forgot to post pictures, went to Memphis for Barrett to run the 1/2 marathon, went to Florida for Andrew's college graduation, came home to PA for a very busy but very fun pre-christmas visit with family, and now we are getting ready to fly back to Jackson. Next on the agenda...Christmas in Jackson, Dress shopping with Ashley, relaxing in Starkville, New Years in Jackson, Driving to San Diego, 2 weeks in San Diego, and then NAVC in Orlando. Whoooo, what a vacation!

Florida last week was wonderful and warm. Andrew's graduation was really nice and he was one of the only people there to graduate Suma Cum Laude (cuz he's so smart). I also finally got to meet Lorri and she is so sweet! We of course made the trip from Daytona Beach to Disney World several times to eat at our favorite places and we went to Mickey Mouse's Very Merry Christmas Party. This is a party at the Magic Kingdom after the park is closed. We got to ride lots of rides, drink hot chocolate, and watch the christmas parade.

On the PA side of this leg of our holiday Barrett got to see his first snow storm. He has been coming up here for Christmas for the past 6 years and this is the 1st time that its snowed. We played in the snow for about 2 minutes and then I was over it. I would much rather be drinking hot tea and baking cookies in the house, which was just what I did.

And really, this time I promise to post some pictures, very soon...

Turkey Fun

We've had a great family Thanksgiving. I cooked a full dinner for Barrett's parents, Jessica and Lucas, and my parents. Today my mom and I went shopping and to Dandy Doodlez for some fun painting. I love having my parents here, too bad they can't stay longer.

We're looking forward to a good egg bowl tomorrow and at least a fun tailgate even if we don't win.

I'll post pictures of the tailgate and game soon

Pray, Pray a lot....

almost time

So, just to let you know. Testing is in T minus 2 days...

I would like someone to please give me a kick in the butt so I have a little more motivation to study.

Yesterday my friend Ashley told me "Somedays you are the windshield, somedays you are the bug, today you were the bug"

Not much seemed to go right yesterday. I kept getting distracted then I got tired and I couldn't get any studying done. Then I came home and Reggie had not only knocked over the Trash but he also pooped in the middle of the mess. After that I was ready to relax so Barrett and I went out to eat. Sounds great right. Well I thought so too until my dinner made me sick and in the middle of the night I woke up nauseous.

Thankfully today is going better. I went to class today, made lunch with Barrett, and Ashley's wonderful dad is coming over to look at my broken dryer. I am so blessed to have good friends.

On a different note, is anyone else ready for Christmas. I already want to start listening to

Christmas music. I have been working on Christmas presents for people. I have a list of what I'm going to get everyone and I've started ordering some of the presents already. I am so excited for all of my Christmas travels. I will be really tired when I get back but it will be so much fun!!!!

TaaDaaaaa

Here they are, my new chairs.  So pretty.

Happy Fall

It is officially glorious fall weather.  Today was cold and brisk and the perfect day to sit inside with slippers on studying by the flame of my woodwick candle.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been a fire place but since I don't have one my crackling candle will have to do.  

I now have both of my chairs back and they are really nice looking.  I will post pictures tomorrow.  Barrett doesn't want the dogs sitting in them as much since they are brand new so we are working on breaking them of it.  I think I might have to get Dora a new bed for in the living room.  Her current bed is gross and I hate taking in apart to clean it, and if its going to be in the living room all the time it can't look like it does now. 

This week has been fairly unproductive because I got sick on Tuesday and wasn't able to get anything done that day or Wed.  I am feeling better now thank you to some antibiotics.  Barrett and I went on a dinner date to Little Dooey tonight.  I hadn't been there in a long time and it was yummy.  I decided that when my parents are here for Thanksgiving we are going to have to go there because they have never been and it is a Starkville classic.  

I am about to begin the rest of my weekend.  It consists of studying (boo), cleaning (kinda fun), and Baking (awesome!).  I am going to make Pumpkin muffins and Banana nut bread.  If anyone wants the recipes just holla.  Cooking is fun!
