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!

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

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!
