Hopeful for 2011

Lord willing by 2012, I will have accomplished the following things:

1. Pray more by myself and with Forrest
2. Read the Bible more, Meditate on the Word
3. Get back down to my engagement weight
4. Keep the car clean
5. Prepare meals for Forrest ahead of time for when I'm gone
6. Change sheets once a week
7. Give Forrest a mani/pedi each week
8. Keep guestroom clean
9. Keep clothes organized (off seasons put away in bins)
10. Stick to my cleaning schedule

Pray for me, it's going to take some dedication!

Classic & Final

Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing

I have to admit that I totally broke my diet and ate a whole cupcake last night. I woke up this morning and gained an entire pound from just the cupcake! Looks like I'm running today for sure! Yikes...

Our Third....

New Years together!



This years holiday was pretty busy! I was fighting a bad cold but refused to let it get me down. Saturday was the first day that I actually felt like myself again. All I have to say is thank goodness for Theraflu : )

We went with Mom, Dad and Bethany to Longhorns and it was so much fun! But man -that place was crowded!

After leaving the restaurant, Forrest & I went to Adam & Kendall's. We visited and then played the Newlywed Game. Anyone who knows me knows that I am super competitive so playing the game was right up my alley! We were victorious but what does it matter....it's just important that we had fun right? (Nah, it's all about winning : )
Of course I busted out my homemade cinnamon rolls for Daddy! I love any chance to bake for my #2 man!

Really?

Our Annual Gift Exchange with the Ulmer's

The White Elephant Portion

Everybody Needs a Roomba

Since we do Thanksgiving with my side of the family and Christmas with Forrest's, we went to Apopka the weekend before Christmas for the Ulmer family exchange and for Mom & Dad's Christmas.

Bethany got her beloved laptop

Mom's picture from us

A plaque that says:
"Grow Old With Me The Best Is Yet To Be!"
(which is the song we danced to at our wedding)

Daddy opening his movie from Bethany with his partner in crime.

We all got Mom a Roomba who has now become her best friend : )

A picture for our house that says:
"The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
How sweet!

Wonderful Christmas! Can't wait until next year!
