Quicky

Wow. So it has been a long time since I have written. Hopefully I will know soon about my grades. =) I think I might be pretty pleased in the long run, but we'll see.


Let's see:
Besides school being out, nothing too exciting has happened with Colton and I. Oh yeah, today is our 6month anniversary! We have officially been married 6 months today.


Last night, Jenn and I went to a Knottie/Nestie Christmas party. Only 7 of us showed up, but it was still a lot of fun to talk and get together with these girls weve been talking to for so long. We had desserts (yummy!) and a gift exchange where I got a Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie Scent!




(I may need to redo these pictures when I get home since they may be blurry from doing them at work).

I bought Chuck a cute sweater since its cold outside and we are going to go walking more.




Isn't he adorable?!
When I have more to say, I will definately do it, but for now, that is all.

sorry for teasing you

Well... I volunteered to be on Extreme Makeover Home Edition (which, if you know me well, you know how much I have ALWAYS wanted to do that).
Anyways, I was just so excited last night, I actually got teary eyed and shaky. Finally, I could cross one of my "life goals" off my list.
Well, a lot of the girls on my message board all got their confirmations today, so I think that means I didn't get picked.
=(

I am really bummed.

So that is all, no babies...no money...just the *hope* for a chance to help someone out. Congrats to all of you that got the confirmation. I know it will be a blast!!

Ahh!!!! =)

I have some potential GREAT news...awesome news...

so keep your eyes posted the next few days and I will tell you, regardless of the outcome.

Happy Thanksgiving?

Hey!! Ok, so I am in a good mood today (a lot better than a few days ago, but I will get into that).Here we go. Let's play catch up. k? Last time I left you I was catching up on ice skating and the NYLO.

Let's see, Tuesday November 25, Chuck had surgery. He had his "big boy" surgery as we refer to it here. Colton insists my way of saying "he got his wawas chopped off" is incorrect because they didn't "chop anything off" so I will ust say big boy surgery. He has been so good. He gets to wear his lampshade for 10 days (only 3 left). We only put it on him when he is in his "box" since we can't watch him. The first night, he whined a little bit, but other than that, he is fine. He is running around and jumping like nothing ever happened.

=)

Let's do a quick school catch up. Today (why i am in a good mood) I finished my 20 page paper on self-esteem. I am pretty sure writing 20 pages about self-esteem killed mine, but whatever. I took a test in the class I'm failing and I am pretty sure I bombed yet another one. Hopefully this paper will yank up my grade.

I have a spanish final this week and one more assignment left in that class that I get to finish tonight. All my other finals are next week.

Thanksgiving!!!

For Thanksgiving, Colton and I took Chuck to the Bradshaw's and we went out to eat to Furrs with my family. There was a HUGE line that we were sure we would be waiting in for hours, but it really didn't take that long at all. It was extremely warm though.

Then, we went back to Colton's family's house and played Wii, watched TV, ate desserts, took family pictures (that I wish so bad I could share with you, but they aren't on my computer and no one will email them to me). Then we went and saw Four Christmases. WARNING: DO NOT TAKE A CHILD TO SEE THAT MOVIE IF THEY STILL BELIEVE IN SANTA. Thank you.

When we got to the house, the kitties were all spooning. It was adorable.

We were there and there were a few little kids there, and if you've seen the movie, they give away the "secret of Santa." I felt so bad for these kids, but angry with the parents for taking 5 year olds to a PG-13 movie w/o reading the reviews. Anyways, I thought it was cute. There were a lot of funny parts. Colton thought the plot was boring, but he laughed a lot, if that tells you anything.

And that was about the end of our Thanksgiving. Oh yeah, and my list of things to be Thankful for..

Day after...

YUCK. Black Friday was TERRIBLE for me. i was getting on my computer to actually post this blog with pictures and stuff, and my power cord wouldn't plug in. The jack it plugs into sunk into my computer. So on BLACK FRIDAY we went to Best buy to take it and see if they could fix it since it was under warranty. We had to buy a $100 power cord for Colton to use since they needed mine. They said it would cost $100 to back up all the info in case they had to replace the computer or the hard drive messes up while its at the factory. I was mad. I cried a lot. We can't pay 100 dollars after I just paid that in April when my last computer crashed. This all would happen the week before finals. So please pray that they don't mess with my computer because I have A LOT of stuff on there that I would probably freak out if we lost.

Thank you.

i went to work and came home to a fire burining and all the Christmas decorations ready for us to set up. We set up the tree and stockings and stuff to Elf. Our tree is GORGEOUS. I am so happy with it. We started setting up our 4 ft tree and realized it was just way too tiny, so we took it back and got a 7 ft one. =) It is on a table so it looks amazing.

And our stockings...

Ah. I love Christmas.

Then, Saturday, colton and I babysat for the amazing KandiceRay. Her kids are the best ever. Jordan and I played ponies and dolls, Colton and Drew played Batman on the Wii. We made ginger bread cookies as a surprise for Kandice and Chad. We watched Kung Fu Panda (great kid movie). Put them to bed, and then I crashed on the couch. Oh and we got our family pictures back... =)

Jordan decorating herself, her mom and Lola. Drew decorating himself, his dad and Lola. The final project. Colton and Me. hehe

Yesterday I worked (all day). Came home and Colton and I rented Fred Claus.

So ya, that was a lot of catching up.

I'm back...for now

Ok, I am SO SO sorry it took so long to update. It has been hetic. I think last we left off, we were going ice skating. All I have are two bad shots from the day, but I will post them anyways because, hey, I already posted no makeup shots. If you remember here.

(Hailey and I)


We met up with Hailey, Taylor, Sam and his beautiful fiance Jen. We had so much fun. Taylor and I are the only two people from our group who busted our rears. haha. Afterwards, we all went back to our apartment where we had a giant Wii touranment. The girls lost, but we are definately still better. *Wishing I had pics of us all playing, it was cute*


Lots of school stuff...blahblahblah...


So, our Chuckdate. As of 11/16/08, Chuck is officially 5 months old!! Oh, yeah, and tomorrow he is getting "fixed"...poor baby. So I shall get some lampshade pics. tehe
Here are some recent pictures of our baby.


Now, about this weekend...
I was assisting in a photo shoot with Kandice and Jackie at the AMAZING NYLO. We had so much fun. You can see "recaps" of our eventful 2 days here. I stole some photos fom here, but here they are

Jackie & Kandice (the ladies who created all the magic)

Testing the lighting. Ugh! I need to start wearing lipstick.

Just laughing and chillin' before "Go time"

Our "toast" to the kick-butt weekend (Hailey and I are drinking water, by the way) =)

Don't forget the camera!

Last night was a blast (like a fun one and a cold one. haha). Colton and I met up with Kandice (and her two beautiful and wonderful children) to have Christmas pictures taken in Deep Ellum. We wanted to get out there about an hour before sun down to get some good pictures while we still had the light, but traffic was TERRIBLE yesterday, so we didn't get started until a little after 5. Oh, well. what can you do? :) We made the best of our 25 min or so and I am pretty confident we got some cute pics. She is fantastic, so I know I am right. We had tons of fun walking around and trying to stay warm. ;) I can't wait to get them back and post them on here so you guys who care can see them.
Also, my ornament I got for my secret nestie should arrive today and I *hope* she likes it.
tonight is going to be so much fun!! We are eating dinner, going ice skating and hopefully hanging out with some friends at the apartment. =) *Hopefully* I won't forget my camera. Oh, and I need to get some Chuck-dates up. Tomorrow is his 5 month birthday!

Hi.

Wow. Everything has been so busy. I am swamped with school tests, papers, and studying. Life is just at that REALLY busy time. I cannot wait for this semester to be over and my month of slow-down and get it back. I am going to become a workout-aholic. =) And then just a restaholic...I need it.
I am SUPER excited about friday. The talented and BEAUTIFUL Kandice is taking our *family* (colton, chuck and me) pictures. We are gonna be super cool.
I have a test tomorrow...yuck

Colton and I went to our friend, Matt cote's Cd release thing-a-ma-jig heres a pic!



I know I have A LOT to update, but I don't have that much to say right now w/o going off on a tanget.
I promise I will update later...now back to studing.
