Merry Christmas!

It is Christmas Eve and I am so excited to spend some quality time with the family. I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and remembers that the holiday is not about presents, it is about celebrating the birth of our awesome Jesus Christ!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

89 Days to Go!

Less than 3 months to go!

I was planning on taking my bridal portraits last Tuesday, but it ended up raining and I wanted to take them outside. We postponed them to this Tuesday, but it looks like it is going to be cold and rainy tomorrow as well. I am now pushing them back to sometime in January. I have gotten my accessories and I am ready to go, just waiting on the weather to be ready as well.

I have been very busy with work lately. We have had tournaments the past two weekends, so it seems like I am always at work. At least Billy has come up and worked as well, so I get to spend some of the time with him. I have tomorrow off so I plan on sleeping in, shopping, and taking care of a few more wedding to-do items. We still need to book a DJ (we have gotten quotes, we just need to decide), find groomsmen/bridesmaids accessories and gifts, parent gifts, and a few other things.

We are both getting very excited that the Big Day is so close. We are also excited that Christmas is in a week and a half. It is always nice to get together with family and friends for the holidays!

December Already?!?!?!!?

Time is flying by!! Last week was so busy, but was amazing. I had a great time over the week spending time with my family and of course baby Caleb!! Thanksgiving was so much fun with all of the yummy food and the football games. Although the Ags got beaten, we had a great time hanging out with everyone and enjoying our time together. It was so nice to get together with George (Billy's best man) and his girlfriend Ashley. They are amazing and we always have a blast with them. I was also so glad Lauren and family were in town. Lauren, Megan (her sister) and I, along with some other friends, went and saw Four Christmases one night. It was a very cute movie and I definitely recommend it!

On Friday Billy and I woke up early to get some shopping in while the deals were good. We hit up a number of stores before heading home. When we got to my house, we had some delicious crepes for breakfast that my parents made. **For as long as I can remember, I have had crepes for breakfast on my birthday. They are always filled with strawberries and fresh whipped cream. It is the most wonderful breakfast and I can't wait until next year as the tradition keeps going with some minor changes. Billy will be in charge of making the crepes! :) **

After breakfast, Billy took a nap but I stayed up so I could hang out with Mr. Caleb! We had a delicious lunch at noon and I got some great gifts! Thanks to everyone for the thoughtfulness of your gifts. That night I went out to dinner with Lauren's family, since they are pretty much my second family. We went to Del Pueblo and I had to wear a big sombrero as they sang happy birthday to me. We then went to her house and watched "Shrek The Halls" with her siblings. It was a perfect way to end the day!

Last night I worked the first Monday Night Football game in Texans history. It was an exciting atmosphere and even better since they won! It was definitely an experience I will not forget.

Now it is back to the grind. I am very busy at work and we have a two day tournament this weekend. I will be looking forward to next Tuesday when I will get a day off! Also next Tuesday I will be taking my bridal portraits!!! I picked up my dress today and of course tried it on. I also went and bought some shoes and jewelry to go with it. I can't wait!!
