Happy New Year

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010. 

I am expecting great things to happen this year. While most people will be out having a good time and drinking tonight, James and I will be doing our normal thing which is hanging out at the house watching movies. We might go to family game night at my parents, but we are not sure yet. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.

8 Months

So I am a few days late on this but better late then never. Christmas Day marked our 8 months of beinging married. It is amazing how time flies. I can't believe it has already been that long. It really does seem like it was just yesterday. We have already started thinking about our 1 year anniversary trip. We can't seem to agree on where to go as we dont want to take to much time off work nor can we really since we are using our vaction days in May to go to New York. I was thinking something like San Antonio, Austin or Dallas as that is drivable and can fit into our budget. Although I would really like to go some place like VEGAS! Any tips on where a good place to go would be that wont totally wipe us out but is still fun? We still have a few months to plan, but I am always open for suggestions.  Hope everyone is getting ready for the New Year. Its almost 2010. That is crazy. Time really is flying by these days.

Expensive Airfare

So James and I are trying to book our flight up to New York for Vicki & Adam's wedding and everything is  so expesive. I have flown up there by myself a few times and the prices were okay, but this time I am having to include a hotel, food, their wedding gift and whatever else we might need money for. It is becoming quite stressful in the fact that  I feel like all the airlines are jacking up their rates. If you have any helpful hints please send them my way as I need to book here in the next couple of weeks before the prices get worse.

Merry Christmas

Christmas was very good this year. We spent Christmas Eve with my family. We went to church at Houston Baptist then heading back to my parents house to eat and open gifts. Brayden opened his gifts while dinner was warming up and made it about half way through dinner before he was ready to go to bed. After dinner the adults got to open all of ours up.
     James ended up getting golf balls, a golfing coin game for the golf course, sports athority giftcard, movies, wii nunchucks and a shirt from my family. I gave him another shirt, some nice shoes and The Hangover. His stocking stuffers were pretty good too... Tobacco, boxers, candy and nuttybutter bars.
     I got a I Love Lucy blanket, some movies, boots, clothes and the best gift of all TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS (thank you D & S) from my family. James got me a jacket, jeans, some shirts and a cross necklace. Stocking stuffers for me were... candy, The Ugly Truth, stationary, and a new phone charger.
Christmas was really good this year and I am looking forward to the concert May 25th with my brother.


On Christmas day we went back over to my parents house for breakfast and to open the gifts they got the animals. Jersey got a new bed for her cage, Lizzie got a car hammock to keep them in the back seat when they are in the car with us, and Indiana got some cat litter. Nothing to exciting and that will not be something that continues next year.  After breakfast we went to see Alvin and the Chipmuncks the Squeakual. Good movie. I still think the first one was better but I will probably by the second one when it is out on video. They we headed back to my parents house to hang out and we ended up watching on of my dad's Dale Earnhart collector movies that he got for Christmas. It was pretty good.


Now we are finally home and watching some of our movies we got and try to make since off all the stuff everywhere. Tomorrow we will be  taking down the decorations and starting to organize for the move in April since I am off I am going to start organizing and putting things together in crats that we dont use. I know its early, but I will not have time come March when all the packing will need to be done. 


Hope everyone had an AWESOME Christmas. I look forward to reading about them later one.

Tis The Season

So I attend our Little Gym party last Friday and it was pretty good. It was nice to be able to hang out with everyone and see a few of the people I don't normally work with. Our boss took us out to eat at Corellis and then gave us some gifts. I got a Little Gym sweatshirt and a $50 Amex gift card. It was a nice couple of hours.


We had James's Christmas party the next night at the Houston Zoo. I was expecting the party to be pretty awesome as they usually are through his company, but I have to say this year I was disappointed. They had the party in the  Nautural Encounters exhibit and they brought out some of the animals throughout the night and then we got to have a private Sea Lion show. The food consisted of sandwiches and drinks. I mean it was awful, but defenitly expected more from his company. Maybe next years will be better.


Christmas in 3 days away, well 2 for us as we are doing Christmas on Christmas Eve this year. I am looking forward to just hanging out and seeing what everyone gets for presents. I am expecially excited for Brayden to open his gifts. He seems to be overwhelmed everytime there are a bunch of gifts for him at once. Almost like it is to much to take in at once. There will be a post after Christmas detailing the day.


Well off to watch Night at the Museam- Battle of the Smithstonian with James. Everyone be safe and have a good Christmas.

Christmas Time

Christmas is only 10 days away. I only have 3.5 more days off work then I am off for a whole two weeks. That will be nice to not have to do anything at all. I am pretty sure I will be helping my mom go through boxes at her house. Old things of mine and who knows what else. We have our Little Gym Christmas party on Friday so that should be fun and then James's company party is supposed to be Saturday at the Houston Zoo. I am not sure if we are going to that one yet, but if we do I will post pictures because their parties are usually very good. Well off to get ready to babysit Brayden and then work at LG. More Christmas posts to come.
