Tired of Playing Catch-Up!

I have really got to remember to blog more! I hate playing catch-up because it's already happened and it seems kind of like old news! But, I guess you still read it so it doesn't really matter!

I recently turned 24!! I had a wonderful birthday and am very blessed to have a wonderful Husband, family, and friends!

My Cake!

Cups everyone drank out of! ZEBRA!

Gifts!

My Birthday gift from my secret sister at church!

I've also been busy decorating my house for Valentine's day! I love decorating for holidays!

Hope you all are doing well! I've been working on my crocheting since it's one of my New Year's resolutions. I'll post pics soon!

HELP!!

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to blog more and I've hardly done it! I can't say it's from not having enough time. I guess I just haven't been doing too much so I haven't had anything to blog about! So sorry to my loyal blog followers! I really am trying to do better!

On another note, we are thinking of taking a trip to the beach this year with a couple of our friends! We could uses some help, if you have been on a beach vacation where did you go and would you recommend it to us? We want to go to the beach but have no clue which one we want to go to! Any help is appreciated!

Just a Quick Post........

I just wanted to drop a quick post to say that I hope you all are doing well! I'm looking forward to enjoying this weekend and ready for my birthday the next weekend! I have more to post but for now this will have to do, so check back for a recap of this weekend!

First Monday of 2012!

Today has been a pretty good day! Unfortunately the Hubby had to go back off to work today :( but other then that it's been a good day! Tonight I started on my attempt at crocheting! It's going ok but not as easy as it sounds. I also watched the Bachelor! It looks like it's going to be a very dramatic season! HAHA I just love watching this show! Anyway I just wanted to write a quick post! Hope you all are enjoying the new year!

Happy New Year!!! 2012 Is Here!!

I hope you all had a fabulous New Year's Eve. We went out to eat with friends and then had them over and played games to ring in the new year! I'm so glad 2011 is through and I can get a fresh start in 2012! I just know this is going to be a GREAT year and I ate my black eyed peas today so that's surely gonna bring me some luck ;) I hope you each have a blessed year!

New Year's Resolutions!

The past few years I haven't made any resolutions but for some reason there is so much I want to accomplish this year so I'm making a list!

1. Read my devotion everyday

2. Learn to Crochet

3. Make sure I give out birthday cards this year

4. Cook at least one recipe a month from my new Paula Deen Cookbook

5. Work on couponing more

6. Blog more

7. Take more pictures

8. Accomplish all of my resolutions

I probably have more resolutions that I just can't think of right now!

2011 was a rough year for us and I can't wait to start a fresh and brand new year! I hope each one of you have a terrific new year! What are some of your New Year's resolutions?

P.S. If you missed my Christmas post it's below this one!

Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! On Thursday night before Christmas Heath and I opened our gifts to each other. We never seem to have time on Christmas day so we just decided to do it when we want to! I got him a gun and he got me the new KINDLE FIRE!! I love it!

Excuse the terrible picture :(

Christmas Eve was spent at my in-laws! I have no pictures to post because all of my pictures have the new children they are adopting in them and they can't be posted until after they are officially adopted. Anyway, I got a laminator, which I really wanted so I can laminate things for my piano students. Heath got some thermal underwear and we each got a stocking filled with candy! We definitely enjoyed watching the kids open all of their presents.

Christmas morning we went to my parents for breakfast and to open gifts there. I got clothes, a case for my new kindle, Paula Deen Cookbook, a case that will play music from my IPhone, and we each got season passes to Silver Dollar City in Branson! Heath got a coffee pot that's like the Kuerig coffee pots, some coffee for it, pajamas, and the IPhone thing too! We had a wonderful morning.

After Christmas at my parents we headed to our church where we do Christmas with my Mom's aunt's and uncles. We eat lunch and play dirty Santa! This year I finally got these crochet angels that my Aunt Mildred makes! They are the gift everyone wants!

After that we headed to Heath's Grandparents! I always enjoy spending time with Heath's grandparents since I no longer have any that are alive.

We managed to make it home around 6 and then a couple of our friends came over for a little while and we played Phase 10!

Holli with all of her Christmas presents!

A few of my gifts!

The Angels my Aunt Mildred makes!

All in all it was a wonderful Christmas! I always enjoy being around our families!
