Weekend Update

We had a great weekend of shopping and Christmas festivities! Saturday night we went to see Pat Green at Billy Bob's and it was fabulous! I got so much shopping done Saturday morning/afternoon......but I will say that our last stop was Wal-Mart and I won't be back there....for a REALLY LONG TIME! What is it with parents that let their kids run around and throw baseballs and footballs at each other, dodging in and out of peoples carts?! I know I sound like I don't have kids (obviously) but can't you just keep the kids in the cart or attached to it somehow? Especially when there seem to be thousands of other people shopping and you might lose your kids? I think some parents wouldn't mind if there kid was taken by someone else.....

I needed to vent about that, thanks. We had Christmas with Lee's family yesterday and had a great meal as well as opened wonderful presents! We are definitley starting the Christmas traveling off with a bang.... We go to his parents again tomorrow night to give his nephews their Christmas presents and then we are heading to Tyler to spend Christmas with my family. Friday we are meeting up with his Mom's side of the family to spend a couple of days with them for Christmas and then Sunday we get to go home sweet home:)

I didn't have a tree topper this year so I put the TT hat that Lee bought me for Christmas on the top of the tree. I think it looks quite nice:)


This is before Pat Green on Saturday...OMG it was cold that night!


Ok, let me explain.....Lee shaved his beard off Friday evening and thought it would be fun to leave this mustache. Don't worry, I put the kabosh on that as soon as I saw it but I had to take a
picture first:) He looks hilarious and a little creepy.....

Christmas Tree

Lee got our Christmas Tree yesterday at Lowe's for a whopping $14!! We love it! He put the lights on yesterday and then I was in charge of the rest. I had so much fun decorating it last night:) I am definitly in the mood for Christmas now! And I am so GLAD to see the sun today....I was starting to get depressed!

This is my favorite ornament at the moment!

Here is the pretty tree!

Christmas Party

These are a couple of pictures I took before the party Saturday night. I had my camera on top of a box and set the timer but I still cut off part of Lee's head:) They aren't the best pics but thought I would post anyway.

Moved...and Settling In!

Friday was the big 'moving' day and everything went pretty smoothly! I had movers take care of all of my stuff and Lee had a friend help with some of his furniture. Lee's mom, Barbara, helped with whatever she could and I was so thankful. She put things away and cleaned as things were being put up in the kitchen! We were exhausted, to say the least, Friday night. We slept on a pallet on the floor because our mattress wasn't being delivered until Saturday. And it came bright and early Saturday morning - 7:30am! We love our new mattress!! Great investment. Saturday we spent the day unpacking and trying to just get organized. A friend of Lee's had a Christmas Party Saturday night and we had a great time (I had way too much fun drinking red wine because I couldn't even move on Sunday!). So Sunday was shot as far as doing anything productive:) I had already taken Monday off so I did finish my unpacking then, once I felt human again! Today we are getting a hutch for the kitchen (for more storage space) and I think we are also going to get our Christmas tree tonight. I really haven't done any Christmas shopping yet, ugh! I'm going to try and get a couple of things today and finish it off on Saturday. Then Saturday night we are going to see Pat Green at Billy Bob's......so excited for that!

I hope everyone has a wonderful time with family and friends this Holiday! I'm so thankful to have all of you in my life!

My Nieces at Halloween

Pictures from the weekend

Friday afternoon we went to the Kimball Art Museum to see a Nativity from 18th-century Naples. It was fabulous but I didn't get any pictures of it. Although, the trees outside the museum were awesome with all different colors so I got a couple of pictures!





Saturday night we went to Heather's house for her Dad's 50th Birthday. We had a great time and they are wonderful hosts!


This is Heather's dancing face:)


Marlo, Heather and I posing for a picture.


This is classic Marlo.

Marlo and Lee.

This is all for now. The countdown is on (11 days exactly) until Lee and I start cohabitating!! Yes, I am very excited for our first Christmas together in the same living quarters! My Mom will be up this week and weekend to help me pack and I am so grateful for her! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!

Thanksgiving in Ft. Worth

Meredith and I spent Thanksgiving with Lee's family this year. My parents went to vist my sister Gretchen in Alpharetta, GA and had a wonderful Thankgiving with her family! Mer and I went over to the Gwaltney's on Wednesday evening and had a fabulous time with all of the family!

Here is Barbara trying not to get her picture taken with all of the alcohol behind her:)

Mer and I getting in on a pose.

Here is a good picture of Lee and his Aunt 'Karen the Missionary'.

Scooter and Terri - Lee's brother and sister.

Thanksgiving morning, Lee, Bill (Lee's Dad), Meredith and I walked/ran the Turkey Trot in Ft. Worth. We had a great time and I hope that this is something we continue to do as a Thanksgiving Day tradition!

We were up late the night before so I took a couple of pictures of Lee and Meredith trying to get ready. Meredith is getting her number pinned on.

And here is Lee, at 7am with his sunglasses on!!

This is before the race started but I did get a smile out of him.

TTU vs. OU.....bummer

I haven't posted in a while so I have things to catch up on. Saturday, November 22nd, Lee and I went to a friend's house to watch the TTU-OU game. Turned out it wasn't really a game at all! And this is sad really because this is the first picture I was able to get Lee to 'get his guns up' and smile all at the same time!! Oh well, the Red Raiders have had a great season and I'm looking forward to the Bowl Game that they will play in.
