Jamaica here we come...

It is 16 days and counting until the actually wedding day.....yeah!!! We are getting to Jamaica a couples days before the wedding to get a small fun vacation in with some good friends and family that are joying us. Then after the wedding we plan to have 4 or 5 days of our honeymoon together in Jamaica, just lounging on the beach in the sun....doesn't that sounds nice(and it's well needed for both of us)!! It's strange because everyone knows how long I have been waiting for this day to come and now I feel like all the wedding stuff isn't quite done..... so I am feeling a little rushed(would have never thought that to be possible). But it will all come together hopefully just as we planned and be wonderful!! The next you hear from me will most likely be after the wedding, I will post all our fun pictures immediately. We can't wait!!!!

"The Steak".....

For those of you who know Jason , this will come to you as no surprise and you know how much he loves his steak!! A couple nights ago he bought the biggest steak he has ever seen(he just couldn't help himself...he was like a little kid in a candy store begging me!!), he couldn't even eat it all in one sitting. He was so proud of it he asked me to put it on the blog so he could show it off.....and I do have to admit, it was pretty tasty!!

~Valentine's Day~

This year for Valentine's Day we decided to not really do anything since the wedding is coming up and we both had to worked all day and wouldn't see each other anyway. A couple days after Valentine's Day Jason came to Chattanooga to visit and I was feeling crafty, so I decided to make him a card. This was not just any card....it's a massive card(life size). I used a lot of my scrapbooking stuff and inside I decided to do something a little different, instead of writing every word I used some different candy bars.....such as: sugar daddy, payday, 100 grand, now & laters and a skor bar. Ended up Jason loved it just because it was something homemade, creative and from the heart, he said it was in his top 5 gifts from me ever!!!

Keith's visit to Birmingham

My younger brother Keith was here in Birmingham to visit us this past week. He actually just left us this morning. He's 19 years old and is planning on going on his mission in the next couple months so we were trying to get some quality time together before he left for 2 years. I had a good time, thanks for coming to visit Keith!!
We went downtown to the McWane Center one day for a little entertainment, they have lots of science experiments (just stuff to play with) and a dome Imax theater (it was awesome).

This was letting you experience what a tornado feels like. It blew wind something like 78 miles and hour inside there.
And this was a bead of nails Keith was laying on.
This was some sort of a pully kind of thing where you pulled your own weight,
and the boys didn't think I'd be strong enough to do it but....don't under estimate me...I am buff!! ha ha! I was pretty proud of myself!
The boys built an arch.
We were bored one day and decided to invite one of Tinker's puppies Dakota over to play for entertainment. Isn't she just adorable!!

"The Circus"

I heard that the Ringling Brother Circus was in town and decided that we couldn't miss it. I had never been to a Circus before and figured what better time then now! I loved it....it makes you feel like a kid, and that's a great feeling. Of course Jason had been to many before but he still thoroughly enjoyed it as well. We are definitely little kids at heart! Jason's big kid grin!!!!



I have to say that the elephants were probably my very favorite part. It was so cute they would walk in line in a circle and hold each others tails. Fun, fun stuff!! Loved the Circus!

And then there was one....

I thought I would give you a little update with our puppies. This is Dakota, one of Tinkerbell's puppies. Doesn't she look just like her momma?? Dakota lives right here in the same apartment complex with some friends of ours, so we get to have play dates all the time.

Awwwww....isn't that adorable!!!
This is Jackson the lone puppy!! He is our last.

This is Violet, she went to a great home on Sunday!!!

Christmas Morning...

The past 4 years for Christmas we has gone to Nashville, it has become a tradition. Everyone wears their Christmas P.J.'s all day long, we play lots of games and watch Christmas movies!! Jason and I can't be home with our families for the holiday so we have created a family away from home that we love. We go to "The Robert's House," who included: Jay, Stacy, Lilly is 7 and Gray is about 4. The kids sure do make a difference to have them around for Christmas, it really makes you remember what Christmas is all about.


This was the tree Christmas morning before anyone dove into the presents. We may have went a little overboard this year.
Lilly and Jason on Christmas morn!
This is Mr & Mrs. Robert's...
and Jason showing off one of his gifts a scarf....
Gray and myself....
After an early morning and lots of unwrapping we were tired, so we snoozed and watching one of my favorite Christmas movies "The Polar Express."
We had a lovely Christmas and we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!!
