Lonely

This weekend has been a little lonely.  Christian's Grandma has been sick and in out of the hospital down in Florida, so he flew out yesterday afternoon to go visit for the day and his coming back late tonight (1:30am).  I do not miss the single life.  Friday nights are very borning and lonely without him.  I didn't do much of anything last night just watched TV and played on the computer.  I know I'm real exciting.  I always hate when he is gone b/c I do not sleep very well at night. Today hasn't been very exciting either.  I got  up this morning and cleaned the house and did all the laundry. I finally got in the shower around 4 o'clock and headed to Wal Mart and Ross.  I had to pick up a few things at WM and I just wanted to run into Ross and found a really cute black pair of shoes for only $13.99.  Sorry I'm too lazy to do pictures tonight.  I went with my parents and Aunt and Uncle who are in town from KY to our old neighbors 50th birthday party tonight it was fun.  I felt so old while I was there b/c I used to babysit their kids and the oldest one is now a Junior in HS and his way taller than me. I mean I used to change his diapers, I remember going to the hospital when he was born.  Crazy how time flies, makes you appreciate life and the small things so much more.  After the party my parents brought my family by to see our house and now I'm laying on the couch.  I feel like I am getting a cold and just exhausted.  I've been blowing my nose all day and sneezing.  I just want to go to church tomorrow and come home to rest.  A Christmas tree might have to wait until one night this week. I hope you all had a great Saturday!

Word of God Speak

I have been listening to this song over and over tonight and I love it and wanted to share it with you guys! They played this song a few weeks ago at church and then I heard it on the Open the Eye of My Heart.

Show Us Your Life - Christmas Trees

I must admit I have been really slack this year and I still do not have my tree up! We always get a real tree, so I think we are going on Sunday after church to get our tree and decorate the house. I promise I will share picture of this years tree, but for now I wanted to share last years.  I feel like my tree looks pitiful compared to some of them on here.  I think I'm going to look for a smaller one on sale after Christmas and do a theme or gold tree next year in the dinin area!

Here is our tree from last year! I love sitting in the living room with all the lights off except for the tree!

Another view of our tree and mantel. I am on a search for new stockings if any of you have good suggestions where to find good ones!

And of course I had to share one of my baby in front of the tree!

Enjoy and go check out Kelly's Korner for more ideas!!!!!!

So Behind...and Happy Anniversary

I feel so behind this year with Christmas.  I am usually decorated before Thanksgiving for Christmas, but I still have my fall decorations out.  I was planning on putting the outside decor up tonight but it is pouring down rain.  I was also planning on getting everything out of the attic and decorate the inside tomorrow night...and I didn't get any of that done.  I will probably wait until the weekend now.  We will more than likely get our tree this weekend and decorate all at once. Speaking of being behind...I usually have some of my Christmas shopping done too,  but I have not bought one gift.  Christian and I decided we were only going to stockings this year for each other, so that makes life easier.  All the girls switch ornaments with each other in my family.  My sister and I are going in together and getting my parents their gift.  I also buy for my nephews and other than that we don't really do gifts with other family members. I plan on getting it all knocked out within the next week or so and then enjoy the season.  Tonight we go to Target to get Christmas gifts for the three kids we are buying for from church.  I enjoyed it and it was a lot of picking gifts out for the kids. It makes me feel so good to know we are helping kids have a good Christmas!

Today is my parents 37th Wedding Anniversary! I hope I have a wonderful marriage like they have.  They are so loving and are wonderful parents! It is unheard of these days to hear of marriages lasting, so I am so proud to say my parents are still married!

Here they are this summer when we went to Florida!

Christmas Cards!

I picked up our Christmas cards today and I love them! They are so cute and I can't wait to send them out. I am probably going to start addressing them tonight and get them out this week. I love receiving Christmas cards in the mail the whole month of December, I can't wait to check the mail in the evenings when I get home.

We wanted to do a wedding picture for our card this year since we recently got married.  The only thing I would change is to have Buddy looking at the camera, but that never happens.  I used Walgreen's for our cards and I am pleased with how well they turned out for the price. They were only $18.00 with my coupon! Who do you guys use for your cards?
