I've been busy, busy lately!! Some of you may know that in August I became an official business. Well last week I finally got my etsy shop up and running and now I am accepting orders for all of my cute stuff from people other than friends and family!! I'm so excited about this new venture. Here are some pics I took of Landry wearing some of the cute stuff. She's such a ham and had fun letting me take her picture!!

Also here is the link to my shop. There's not alot there yet, but it's still a work in progress!!

The Last One

Six years ago today I went on a date with a guy that I knew would someday be my husband. John and I had an instant connection on our first date, I got butterflies in my stomach waiting for him to come pick me up. It was nothing special, we went to Macaroni Grill in Grapevine. Somehow everything seemed to fall into place. I knew by the second date that I was falling for him and could see myself spending my life with him,

Here we are now 6 years later. Finally we are getting married. Tonight was our last anniversary of dating that we will celebrate because July 10, 2011 with mark a new anniversary, the 1st anniversary of our marriage!!

Terrific 3's

So I have decided that 3 year old little girls are so much fun!! Don't get me wrong when Landry was a baby I thought she was pretty great and when she was 1 and 2 was pretty fun too, but three is different. At 3 she has developed such a little personality!! Oh and she is so smart! When I have a 3 year old I can only hope that she is as funny and smart as Landry. I feel so blessed to have this little girl in my life everyday.

Here are some things I love...
Everyday she asks me if she gets to go to dance class!!
When I pick her up from school she gives me all the details of her day.
She can buckle herself into the car seat!!
She can recognize the letters of her name and is close to writing her name completely by herself
She is so excited about my wedding, she tells everyone she is going to be a zebra...
She still loves to snuggle on the couch in the mornings when she wakes up.
She wants every toy that's on TV. I tell her to put it on her Ho-Ho list...Needless to say her Ho-Ho list will probably be about 12 pages long this year!!

Cruisin the Open Seas

I got back from my tour of Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel on Sunday. I just wish the sunny weather had followed me home! We had a really great time and it was a much needed break for me, but I was so ready to be home. You never realize how much you depend on technology unitl you don't have it. I finally had to break down on about day 3 and buy some internet minutes. Here are some pics from our trip!

Warning!! Some of the labels are not where they should be. I messed with this post for almost and hour and figured ya'll were smart and could figure it out!!

One of my favorite things each night were the towel animals!!

Bon Voyage!!

My bags are packed and waiting by the door!! I can't believe it's finally time for our cruise. We leave tomorrow for Galveston and the boat leaves Sunday!! I'll be gone for a whole wonderful week! I'm super excited, but don't like the idea of not having a phone or Internet for a week. It's amazing how much we rely on technology. I feel sure I will have to find the on board computer area at least once to see whats going on!! I'm also feeling nervous about leaving Vegas for a week. I know he will be in good hands with our friends Patti and her daughter Mollie. They have about 5 dogs at their house and he will have fun, but this is the first time I'm leaving my sweet baby with someone other than my mom and dad. If I feel like this now I can't imagine how I'll be when I actually have a child!!

Bon Voyage everyone!! I promise to post pics and updates when I get back!!

Eight Years Ago

Eight years ago today was a Tuesday. I woke up like I did every morning and turned on the TV to watch Good Morning America while I got ready for school. Eight years ago I was a Senior in high school. I put on my IHS cheer uniform because we had to cheer at a volleyball game that night. I was supposed to be at school early that day because I had to roll up the signs in Mrs. Jackson room for the football game against Abilene that Friday night. I didn't make it to school in time to do that...Instead I watched as Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson announced that there was a fire in the World Trade Center and that a plane had crashed into it. I remember walking into my mom's room and saying "Someone was flying their plane too low and crashed into a building in New York." . I then watched as another plane flew into the other tower. The world then knew at that moment that it was no accident.

I finally made it to school, my cheer coach forgave me for not making it to pick up signs that morning. Teachers forgave us for alot of things that day. Every classroom you walked by had their TVs on watching the news. We watched the replay of the probably a dozen times as of the second plane crashing and the towers collapsing. I remember for days afterwards there was nothing else on TV except pictures of people still missing and continuous news coverage. There were no planes in the sky for three days. Everyone was in a state of shock and mourning. All activities were cancelled that day. We weren't sure that we were going to get to have a football game on Friday. Finally we were given the go ahead. I remember standing in ISS stadium and everything seemed different that day. The world had changed around me in a matter of seconds. I remember standing there singing the National Anthem that day and it had a new meaning to me. I remember seeing an airplane fly over the stadium as we sang, the first one I had seen in 3 days. Life would go on.....

7-10-10

Woo -Hoo!! The date is officially set. My dad went and paid the deposit for the church on Friday!! So our date is officially........
