1. I'm loving that it's the month of February!! It's my birthday month and I can't wait to celebrate!

2. I'm loving that the Super Bowl is this weekend. Not because of the teams ( I really could care less) but because I love watching all the cute commercials. Have you seen the commercial that does a grown up version of Ferris Bueller's day off? I thought it was pretty clever.

3. I'm loving the new shows that will be starting next week. Can't wait to add them to my DVR list!

1. I'm loving that I'm back in the blogging world. The past 2 weeks, we've been moving places and then I came down with a horrible cold and fever which put me out several days. I'm glad that I'm finally back!

2. I'm loving Girl Scout cookies!! Jason bought some Thin Mints and Thanks a lot cookies the other day and is going to buy more so we can freeze them. Have to stock up for the remainder of the year!

4. I'm loving Downton Abbey!! A friend loaned me the first season and I watched it in one weekend. Now I am caught up on season 2 and I am officially hooked!!! Anyone else love this show?!

2. I'm loving that Jason and I are moving into our new townhouse this weekend. Yay! Although, I'm not a fan of all the boxes scattered throughout the apartment right now but it's a means to an end.

3. I'm loving the new recipe I tried last night that has been all over Pinterest. Bubble up Enchiladas! They were very yummy and it was pretty easy to make! Plus: it's healthy!

4. I'm loving that Jason and I got to go and see Sherlock Holmes 2 on Friday night. He surprised me by taking me to the Fork and Dine at the AMC nearby. The movie was really good and the food was great. I like it a lot better than Studio Movie Grill.

3. I'm loving that it's 2012. I have high hopes for this year and I'm praying that it's a year to remember!

4. I'm loving that we are having dinner with some of our friends this Saturday night. We haven't seen them in awhile so I'm excited to see them.

*And I'm not really loving this but my friends, Shaun and Lauren, had their twin boys on Sunday at 27 weeks. They are doing pretty well for 27 weekers but if you could say a little prayer for them, I know they would greatly appreciate it!*

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone's new year is blessed and full of happiness! I also hope that you got to at least ring in the new year with style.

We celebrated with some of my friends from high school. We ate at Texas de Brazil and then went back to my friend Joy's house to watch the ball drop. It was one of the best New Years I've had in a long time =).

Happy 2012 everyone!

So long 2011

This year has been filled with fun times and sad times. I've grown in so many ways and I am thankful for the many blessings in my life this year. I will treasure the memories that Jason and I made this year together. So here's a little recap of our year:

January 

Jason and I moved to a new apartment and I celebrated with a friend at her bridal shower.

February  

We had a ice/snow storm that hit the first week of February where I missed 4 days of work. It was great.

I met the Pioneer Woman again on Valentine's Day. I can't wait to see her when she goes on a book tour again!

I turned 28 and made goals before turning 29.

March 

We went to Branson with my family and celebrated Jason's birthday while we were there.

We also got Iphones. We moved up in the world.

April 

Jason's mom and sister came into town to celebrate Easter.

May

We went to a FC Dallas game with some friends and watched David Beckham and had it pour down rain on us.

Christmas Recap 2011

*Warning: long post with pics*
Jason and I spent Christmas with my family this year. I was so excited to be going home to spend time with them and was secretly hoping that I would get a chance for snow sometime that weekend. We drove in on Friday morning and checked in to the hotel. Then on Friday night, I met up with some friends from high school to have dinner and catch up. After dinner, we went to a wine bar and invited our significant others along because we are nice like that =). I enjoyed so much getting to hang out these girls and hope we can do it again when we are all in town.

On Christmas Eve, Jason and I just lounged around my parents house and played with my niece and nephew. We went to Christmas Eve Service at my parent's church and then came home and opened one gift. Our Christmas pajamas! Ever since I can remember, we have always gotten new pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve. I look forward to it every year. I can't wait to start this tradition with my kids.

We woke up bright and early on Christmas morning to head over to my parent's house to open presents with everyone. On our way to the house, little flurries started to fall from the sky. I started getting excited that maybe I was going to get snow on Christmas! We opened presents from each other, from "Santa", and our stockings while we watched the snow fall outside. And yes, I'm in my 20's and we still do "Santa" at our house.

The tree with all the gifts! We were all really good this year =)

I made this wreath for my mom - it's in OU colors.

Jason surprised me with some stocking stuffers - a glass drinking bottle and a gift card to Charming Charlies. So sweet of him!

K with her jewelery box

We got John the Indiana Jones movies on DVD. We used to watch those as kids at our grandparents house ALL the time.

Jason opening gifts

I got some gloves that you can keep on while you use your touch screen phone. I love them!!

When we finished opening presents, we lounged around and got ready for more of my sister in law's family to come over for Christmas lunch/dinner.

All the food to eat! I stuffed my face!

Me, the niece, and sister in law's niece eating

When we finished eating, we took some photos outside with the beautiful snow! I even made a snow angel!!

So pretty!!

Snow angels!

Jason and John played several games of chess on Christmas day. Jason only won one game =).

Christmas Day was filled to the brim with fun and family and I wouldn't have it any other way. It was such a great time and I enjoyed the snow as well!!! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas spending it with family and rejoicing in the true reason we celebrate Christmas - Jesus!
