Our OH SO exciting weekend

Saturday morning I got up and showered and got busy...for some odd reason I get in these moods to just CLEAN! So I cleaned the apartment and finished just in time for J to get home from work. Justin wanted to go to the gym so I watched a movie (Push- it was good). : ) typical huh? Then Justin came home and Kimberly & I went to the house to show her around (again...more to come later). We got lunch, came home, watched Justin play some PS3, then sat around. Later we watched another movie (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) and went to bed. I know SO EXCITING!!! Sunday wasn't much more productive. We both slept in and woke up saying to each other... Is it really 10:45!?! We blame the weather. Then we got up, had a wonderful breakfast (french toast) made by both of us! We then piled on the layers and went to see Kason at his last BCS Christmas Parade. (I'll add pictures later) It was nasty outside...cold & rainy. He is lucky we like him. : ) After the parade Justin and I headed to Sears to look around at refrigerators- we found quite the deal! They had a big sale on Black Friday but forgot to take the sign down so they had to honor the price! : ) So we walked away with a beautiful stainless steel Kenmore Elite Trio french door with water & ice dispensing fridge!! It is going to look BEAUTIFUL in our house! Then we came home and have sat around all afternoon. (Me on Photoshop, Justin on PS3) we are SO so EXCITING! : ) I cant believe another Monday begins tomorrow...only 4 days till we board a plane to go to the Hameedi's!! I cant wait! I keep telling Justin I need to go shopping to get some warm clothes...the warmest thing I have is an Aggie Sweatshirt!! : ) Anyways...with that being said, I should shower and get to bed so I will be in the best mood for my little babies (even the ones who make me want to pull out my hair sometimes)! Let the countdowns begin...

4 days till D.C. to see the Hameedi's
9 school days till CHRISTMAS break (10 for everyone else)
18 days till Christmas

Christmas Come Early

UPDATE!!: So I've been playing and figured out how to make my very own COPYRIGHT! : ) I can't wait until I can do this full time, have fun and just create works of art!!!

So with the purchase of our wonderful camera and the upcoming purchase of our new home (more to come on that later) we both decided that with those purchases that would be our Christmas to each other. However, my husband is AMAZING.

Today I had a terrible afternoon. I had to walk out of my class to cool off I was so upset. Who knew ONE 6 year old would cause so much trouble!? Anyways, I cried all afternoon, came home, put on my pj's, lay on the couch, cried some more...it was just one of THOSE afternoons. (not days, because my morning was great) Anyways, Justin texts me to tell me he is going to "stop somewhere" and will be home late. He gets home to me laying on the couch still...still mopping...and tells me he stopped at Best Buy! My thought was come on...what could we need at Best Buy!? Then he tells me it is my Christmas present. He tries to tell me he is going to wait until Christmas to give it to me but we both know better than that....he pulls out the bag and suddenly my day of crying and being miserable turns into joy and wonder as I pull out of the bag...PHOTOSHOP! I have been looking online and talking about it for so long but its expensive and knew I wouldn't get it for awhile!! I have spent the past 3 hours studying how to make it work, playing with different settings, edit options, etc. and I still haven't brushed the surface!! : ) Anyways...I''m off to study some more! : ) Do you know HOW AMAZING my husband is!? So I need some models for a photo shoot ASAP!! Any takers????

Family Photos

Saturday morning we all got up and headed to IHOP for breakfast (I thought of you Carla). After breakfast we headed to the Louisiana Boardwalk for family photos. We are getting better about doing family photos every year. Last we did family photos and sent them out with Justin in them even though we weren't even engaged at the time...haha...no we are married! A lot can happen in a year...sorry got off there...anyways...now that Justin and I have a AMAZING camera we took some photos. We were short on time so we didn't get near as many as I would have liked but they will do. Mom says that if I can photograph my family...I can photograph anyone.

Road Trip for Wedding!

On Friday morning we got up and went and ate breakfast with Daniel and Megan before they headed back to Houston and we headed to Shreveport for Vanessa's (my cousin) wedding! I woke up with a terrible migraine and just felt horrible. I quickly packed up Pip's & my stuff and got in the car so I could pass out. I have the best husband ever. I slept for 3 out of the 5 hour drive. However, when I woke up and wanted to talk Justin told me to go back to sleep : ) He was enjoying his quiet drive. We arrived in time to check in to the hotel and get ready to head to the Rehearsal Dinner. It was great! We went and ate at Copelands. I told Justin I miss my family so much. It was so great to be with the Parkers and the Calhouns and my whole family!! Growing up we were together ALL the time. I love my family and hate that we don't see each other more often!

Jessica & I

Me & Grandma

Me & The Bride

Dad & Emily (Dad being a bomber pilot in Emily's scarf)

Elissa & I

Overall it was a great rehearsal dinner and a good time was had by all!
