8 month Anniversary

On November 15th Jacob and I celebrated our 8 month anniversary by enjoying a free night in our hotel (hotel we stayed in for the first two nights after our wedding). Jacob surprised me with 8 roses, an edible arrangement, champagne on ice with our toasting glasses from our wedding, and a willow tree figurine that I have been wanting. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner and some much needed rest and relaxation. I am so thankful to have such a thoughtful husband who is very romantic and really thinks about what would make me happy! I really love being married to Jacob!

Chillin'

Marshall chillin' waiting for lunch!

Place Cards

Macy made us all place cards for Thanksgiving. It's so fun each year to see what new things she can do. Some of the names were more difficult to read than others but she did a great job!

Thanksgiving Craft

Every year since Macy has been big enough to do and enjoy crafts mom has had a special holiday craft. One year it was marshmallow snowmen, the next orange slice pumpkins, and this year oreo turkeys.

We also had some college fun!

Thanksgiving Eve

Macy, Marshall, Sean, Julie, and Kim came to spend the week and celebrate Thanksgiving. We have had a lot of fun so far. On Thanksgiving Eve we went to Chuck E Cheese to play games and I think that the adults had more fun than the kids!

Bored at Chuck E Cheese?

I don't think so!

Simpson's Sorry

We got a new Sorry game! For anyone who knows Jacob you know that he has a love for The Simpsons. If I would let him we would only be allowed to buy Simpson's things and our entire house would be decorated with them. Anyway we played Simpson's Sorry with Macy, Marshall, Mom, and Sean this week and had tons of fun.

Dog Pics

A beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Lola

Lola is our youngest Pug and as it turns out our smartest dog! She hates to get up in the morning (something she and I have in common). She makes you pull her out of her crate and tries everything she can to keep from going outside. She will sneak back in the room and get back in her crate, sneak into another room and hide on the floor, or her newest trick is to come and get in our bed. The other morning Jacob was at work and I was home. I let all the dogs out and Red, Moe, and Abby went outside happy as could be. Lola however was found in bed, so her and I spent about an hour snuggling and taking pics. Here are a few!

Grace-O

After the Texas game we spent the night at the Caldwell house and got to spend time with Carrianne and Grace the next morning. We always enjoy our breakfasts and time with them. Grace really loves to hang out with Jacob mainly because she thinks he is just a big kid there to play with her. She has tons of fun and Jacob has officially nicknamed her Grace-o!

TTU Vs. UT

November 1st 2008 was a great day! I cannot express the pride that comes from beating Texas especially when they are ranked number 1 and are undefeated. Texas Tech has had a great season and we enjoyed every minute of this very exciting game.

We started the game by enjoying game day

Corso correctly picking the winner of the game!

Half time score, GO Tech!

I don't think that Matthew enjoyed the game as much as us. Here's a hint to all you Texas fans if Matthew can't pull off burnt orange then no one can!

Final Score!

Sorry!

This weekend we enjoyed a lazy weekend filled with football and board games. Alex, Norima, and the girls came over to be lazy with us and Jasmine thoroughly enjoyed beating her Uncle J and several activities!

Tech Game #2

Last night we got to enjoy our second Tech Home game of the season (if you can call it a game, poor SMU). We had tons of fun and got to catch up with a few old friends. I ran into a friend from High School and got to spend some time catching up with her and making some plans for the future since we both broke out of Tomball and have both made our home Midland. Jacob and I also got to spend time with our favorite newly married couple Steve and Cynthia. We got the pleasure of attending their wedding three weeks ago and haven't seen them since. Jacob and Steve went to school together and have been like brothers ever since and we are so excited to welcome Cynthia to the family also! It's also really fun to have another newly married couple to hang out with!

Weekend FUN!!!

The Fun continued this weekend with some ball rolling.....

Bike Riding.....

And book reading....

Then sadly the weekend was over and everyone loaded up and went home :(

Thanks for coming, we can't wait to see you again!

Labor Day Weekend

KK was ever so nice to drive all this way to see us this weekend and to bring two passengers with her! Macy and Marshall are having a great time playing with PaPa, Nonnie, Uncle Jacob and Aunt Megan. We have been riding bikes, putting puzzles together, watching movies, going to the playground, and cooking.

We are truly enjoying having them here and

getting to spend time with them. They are keeping

us on our toes and laughing constantly with their

funny little personalities. We will be sad to see them go tomorrow it will be very quiet here after they leave!

First Tech Game

College Football is FINALLY Back!!!!!

It has been a long summer and Jacob and I couldn't be happier that the wait is finally over. We had a blast on our quick trip to Lubbock and back to watch Tech beat Eastern Washington. There was a group of students who painted their bodies and stood together saying We have a dream...14-0! I think all raider fans have that same dream this year! GO TECH!!!!!

North Carolina Here We COME!!!!!

Well all of Jacob's dreams came true last week, as we spent a week in his version of Heaven. Jacob and I along with mom and dad spent the week in North Carolina. We went to Winston Salem and spent the week at Worldview Academy's camp at Wakeforest. We had so much fun enjoying the atmosphere and culture. As it turns out we don't really have trees in Texas compared to those in North Carolina. Jacob and I enjoyed spending a lot of time at Chapel Hill and taking in all of the tradition and history of UNC.

The Dean Dome was the main attraction and I think we took about 300 pictures of it. We also visited the Basketball Museum, Franklin Street, and Wakeforest's campus as well. Jacob and I got the privilege of watching some of the UNC boys workout to get read for next season as well as getting the autograph of Hubert Davis a former UNC and NBA player. All in all it was a great week of relaxing and exploring. We are really grateful to mom and dad for making it all happen.

Band Wagon

OK OK stop yelling I did it! But don't expect much we are pretty boring! Soon see pics from vacation go Tarheels!
