Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

WOW so I really am horrible about posting on our blog and I promised to keep everyone updated. So here I am a month later updating our blog, I am so sorry! Not that I think a lot of people actually read it but whatever. SO today is Jan. 1, 2010! That is scary and exciting at the same time! It is scary because time goes by WAY too fast - I mean I graduated from High School 7 years ago - Alisha has a baby, Lexi and Austin are growing up WAY too fast and about to be driving, Mike and I will celebrate 3 years of marriage this year anyway I can't really think about the past because I would have done a lot of things different (finish school, for one thing). Anyway SO we had a great holiday season this year! We went to his mom's and celebrated Christmas the weekend before Christmas since we were going back to AL and got to see the whole family including Mike's cousin Haley and her husband RJ who just moved up here from Florida and of course we got to see our Lily! :) Love that little girl more than I can even express with words - wish we were closer to everyone. The Friday before Christmas, Mike and I went ahead and swapped presents - #1 I did not want to spend money on wrapping paper and #2 I could not wait to show Mikey some of his gifts!! I got him some work lights for his "wood working shop" - aka our garage, I got him a lot of other things, book, coffee machine, etc. He is such a great husband and he got me my sewing maching!!! I am sure an old lady - but I signed up for a class next week to learn how to use it and actually make things so I am really excited - he also got me a book, movies, a watch, purfume, etc. I was very impressed!! THEN on Chritmas Eve, we drove down to Troy that night and got in around midnight. I love being at my home with my Mama and sister! I miss them both SO much it is SO hard to leave!!! They got us SOOO many great gifts, my mama got me UGG boots (LOVE them!) and got me tons of other things - oh and cook books (since Mike and I love to cook together)! Mike got gift cards to Sears and Dicks Sporting Goods - which he spend yesterday! Mama and Cherish also got my babies some yummy treats and a snuggie (yes it is very cheesy but Bella loves her snuggie!!) We also went to my Daddy's, which is always fun - me and Cherish love hanging out with daddy he is so goofy and funny!!! And I love all of his animals, he has cats, dogs, horses, goats, ducks, geese, etc so you get the point! Here are some pictures from our trip to AL - I am hoping to make another trip back in Feburary to hang out with Cherish.






Ok so picture time is over! Sorry I added a lot. Anyway so moving on - 2010 is going to be an exciting year and I cannot wait!!!!! For one thing - we are going to be debt free and going to try to start a family! I AM SOOOOOOO FLIPPING excited!! If you know me, then you know that I want to be a mommy more than anything and share that experience with my Mikey!!! He is going to be an awesome father (that is weird to say) but we both can't wait, we talk about our future children all the time! I am so excited for what God has in store for us - our lives are going to change a lot this year but all for the better! I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a GREAT YEAR!!!! To start this year, we are going to organize our house and get everything in order(which I am sure he is looking forward to - TOO BAD :)), first I am going to start with making pancakes for Mike, plus I am starving!!! I really do promise to keep everyone updated more!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
