Back To School...

Well today is officially the last day of my winter break. Tomorrow I am back to school for three more weeks and then I am off for Christmas! I can say that I have never been more excited to go back to school than I am right now! I of course LOVED the relaxation time and could do that for a while longer but I have really missed classes. Something about being surrounded by a large body of believers on a daily basis really encourages me. I just find myself in awe sometimes of the amazing position the Lord has put me in. Walking around campus and listening and engaging in conversation with my classmates is just an incredible honor. The Lord is so good and I am so blessed!!

Speaking of being blessed!! Chris and I met with The Kersey's last Wednesday to talk about the house, and we got to meet little Trevin!! He is so precious! As of now we are set to move our stuff in this weekend!! Chris is the lucky one who gets to live there alone until we get married but that is ok because I need all the time I can get with my family before then :)!! We are so lucky to be getting to live in this house while Kristi and Michael are in Arizona! I don't think it can be said enough how grateful we are to you guys!!

And finally, Thanksgiving was fun as always!! We had THe Page's (my brother-in-law's family) over for Thanksgiving meal and watched the cowboy game afterwards. Sweet little Savannah Grace is just getting so big! She is walking around using furniture as her crutch and she can walk only holding on with one hand! It is so sweet and so cool to watch her learn new things! If you haven't noticed i am basically OBSESSED with my niece! But she is like the cutest thing ever!! So I am closing this with a picture of her that just shows of her little personality better than words!! Love you all and hope you have a blessed week!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Storer!

Well two of our friends Ryan and Brooke got married on Saturday! She looked beautiful and it was such a fun wedding!! It was so exciting to see them exchange vows and to know that Chris and I are going to be there in two months!! Time is just flying by! The wedding was in Oklahoma City so we got to see so many college friends! I didn't realize how much i miss all of those people! We had a blast! We also got to spend the weekend with Jene, one of Chris' friends from High School, which was alot of fun because i have never had the chance to really get to know her. Such and sweet girl and such a fun time! So we had a great weekend!Me, Kathryn and Becca!
haha Chris and Richard being weird
Me and Lindsey, one of my favorite people ever!!
Chassity, Jene and I. I had so much fun with these girls!
Chris and I at the reception!!

We are so hoping everyone is going to make it down to Dallas for our wedding as well because it is such a blast to have all your friends around you! Congratulations Ryan and Brooke you are going to be so happy together and we love you!!!

Invitations Stole My week

Well Invitations need to go out soon so I have been running around trying to get all the pieces together for them. stamps and maps to the church and so on. Also we decided on these invitations that require ALOT of assembling and so it has taken a while. My sister has awesome handwriting so by the grace of God she has agreed to address them! We have gotten almost half done and finishing when she comes back over Thanksgiving! Last night I was up until 2:30 putting as much of them together as I could. I have not stayed up until 2:30 in A LONG time. But luckily I think I am at a point where all I need is her to finishing writing and I can just put it in the envelope! Who knew invitations would be such a task! This has made me not look forward to making the programs!!

Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine has been ok. I feel like i am just going through motions right now. I haven't had time to sit and read my bible in a couple days and i can feel it. It makes me sad, but its one of those things were I go back through my day and see where I made the choice to not do it. It's not that I am too busy, because God gives us enough time in the day to get done what HE wants us to get done. When we start saying things like there isn't enough time, and there should be more hours in a day, I think it is because we are adding our own agenda to Gods and His is the one that normally gets shorted. So that is where I am right now, I'm being very productive but not in the things that I should. I think it is also that Chris and I didn't go to church or small group on Sunday and it has taken affect on me because i am also not in class this week so most of my accountability is gone right now. It's also working out though too. Everytime i schedule time to go, I get "tired" and don't want to. My mom gets up almost every morning to jog, and she works like 30 hours a week and everytime I come in the kitchen or the living room, she is doing her bible study. I am working on the mental discipline to be able to do that.

Sorry enough rambling. I hope everyone has a Happy Friday!!!

Ok

My relaxing week has turned HECTIC!!

Well I get the next two weeks off of school so I was planning on getting some relaxing done. Well so much for that plan! I still am working all morning and then ..Today my mom, Chris, Kathy and I are going to City Place for a food tasting for our reception. Before that my mom and I are going to the linens company to pick out chair covers and table cloths. Then I have to find my wedding shoes tonight because I have my dress fitting tomorrow. Tomorrow after work I am meeting with my photographer and we are doing a "trash the dress" session with this dress she found. Then I have to go and have my dress fitted after that. I can't decide if I will be bored and sad or happy when this wedding planning is over. I mean clearly I will be married so that will make me happy, but I will have more free time! (Actually I won't because i am adding a class next semester.) Anyways, our friends Brooke and Ryan are getting married on Saturday so we are going to Norman this weekend. I am really excited! I love going on trips and seeing friends. Well I hope you are all having a blessed week. Love you all!

The Fajita shower!!

Well this weekend was our last shower and it was a BLAST! My parents friends are awesome!! I hope Chris and I have friends like these one day too! There were 7 hostesses, Sheri Martin, Susan Egbert, Diane Hanson, Carol Gaige, Lynda Smith, Renee Troutman, and Sherri Sund!

The house was decorated in a Mexican theme and it was so awesome! The food was awesome and the decorations were out of this world!

I feel so blessed to have all of these people in my life and that they all help celebrate this time in Chris and I's lives! It was a great time! Alot of our friends drove in from out of town which was so much fun! Katie, Jenny, Jonathan, Courtney and Jaclyn all drove in from Oklahoma. And my friend lindsay drove in from Tyler! My sister, Kevin and Savannah Grace came in from Houston which was so much fun! My brother and his girlfriend Ashley came as well! Chris' parents and his sister Danielle and her friend Paige were there too which was fun!

Ryley also had a scrimmage this weekend and Savannah Grace had a little shirt made that said GO RYLEY on the front and then his number 22 on the back!!! It was so precious!

Thank you all for making this weekend so special for us! We are so so blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives!!

Almost the weekend!

This day is basically the last day of school for the next two weeks! It also begins my weekend so I guess I am pretty excited! I haven't been feeling all that great lately. Just kind of in a crummy mood and feeling sick. Luckily I don't have to work tomorrow, and we have our shower on Saturday !!!! YEA!!! and I get a two week break from school for Thanksgiving. So I can take one more day of feeling like this because hopefully I will get SOME down time here in the next few weeks. I am really just so excited about our shower this weekend. My two roommates from college are coming down, Courtney and Jaclyn. My sweet friends Katie and Jenny are driving down from OK. My friend Lindsay is coming in from Tyler! And all of our friends here are hopefully going to be able to make it! I can't wait! Well I guess that is all! I am sure more posts and pictures to come because my Sister, Kevin and Savannah will be here as well which means LOTS OF PICS!! I love it when they come in town! They will be here tomorrow!!

Weekends Fly By!

Well this weekend really flew by! IT seems like that has been reoccurring the last few weeks. Its already Monday and I can't believe it! On Friday Chris' sister Danielle had a playoff game! It was the second round of Volleyball playoffs in Rowlett, and they won! SO now they play on Tuesday. It is fun learning a new sport. Chris get a little intense, (and I am being kind when I say little), but it is alot of fun to watch! After the game we went to dinner and hung out at Chris' house for a while. Saturday my mom and I did lots of wedding stuff! Well first I met my friend Haley for lunch which was lots of fun! Then my mom and I bought a wedding wagon for Savannah Grace to go down the aisle in..... so so so cute!! After that we went and tried on my wedding dress!!!!!! Oh my gosh it makes me so anxious! Then chris met us and we got the tux thing all squared away! After that we went back to my parents house in FM and I cooked dinner for everyone ... yes I know be shocked but it was actually pretty good! We watched OU beat A&M :) and then it was about time for bed for me!! Sunday was a normal sunday! We went to church at 11, then came home had lunch with my fam and watched football! Yea for the weekends! Also something kind of fun! My photographer called me and asked if i wanted to do a "trash the dress" photo shoot for her. Of course not with my dress haha, but she has a dress and so in a week or so we are going to go and take pics. It sounds really interesting and I am excited to see how the pictures turn out!!


Well I hope you all had wonderful weekends and have wonderful weeks!!

A whole year of being MJ!!

So yesterday was my 23rd Birthday. Chris reminded me that this means a whole year of being 23 which was Michael Jordan's number, and so I am ok with this!!
