2nd year Anniversary

Love Cornbread

Today we are celebrating our 2nd year anniversary! We cannot imagine life without one another and are truly blessed to be together. We are celebrating on Saturday with shopping, a nice dinner, and going to see live music! Today was just too crazy to try to fit all that in. Two years has gone by so fast and we have learned even more about the hard work marriage takes. Here's to another 100 years!



At Eastland Cafe (yummy) for our Anniversary dinner!

Pictures!

Here are a few pictures, as promised in the previous post, from Trish's surprise party and our Halloween Extravaganza!

yummy cupcakes

The Priest trying to excercise the demon from J?!

First Nashville party was a success!

President Obama!!!

We could not be more proud to be Americans than tonight when we elected the first African-American president in the USA!!!!
This was a long hard-fought election, but in the end the American people spoke and Obama came out as the winner. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum you have to be proud that America has over come some (not all) of their racial prejudices that have held this country back for so long.

We have always been blessed to live in America and tonight we could not be more happy to be a part of the amazing historical moment! President Elect Barack Obama! He sure does have a long road ahead of him, but we believe he will be the best President for our country through these tumultuous times.

Here's to history and Obama as United States President Elect!!! Yippee!

Surprise/Halloween

Hello! This last week was super busy so sorry for the lack of posts! We left our camera in Atlanta when we visited last weekend so I will post pictures when we get it back : (

Last weekend was a blast. We somewhat "surprised" Trish for her big 3-0 birthday, but we're pretty sure she knew the party was coming! Her husband, Brian, had been planning this thing for months and he did such a great job. What a sweet guy. When she walked in she had this look on her face like "I totally knew this was coming." I think some people at her work may have let the cat out of the bag. Needless to say a party is a party and we had a blast. We love them so much and were so happy we got to be there! (pictures coming soon)

We threw an awesome Halloween party last night and we spent all day today recovering :) Some of our best friends, Paulyna and Chris, drove up from Atlanta to be here. We have had a "Fall day" tradition for the last 4 years so it was great they were able to come up. We miss them like crazy! Jeremy and I were the couple from Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride". I think we rocked the dead look and I'm not complaining about my husband trying to imitate Johnny Depp (even if he was just a cartoon in this movie)! We had plenty of food, drinks, cornhole, flip-cup, and s'more making. Such a fun time with a few old friends and lots of new ones! My favorite moment of the night was when a few of our neighbors were handing out candy to the kids on our front porch and I walked out in costume. The kids FREAKED out! I totally scared them and I felt awful. I was like "so sorry" and ran back inside! I probably scarred those poor kiddos for life. Anyways, we had a blast and I think everyone else had a pretty spooktacular time too (hehe couldn't resist)!
(pictures coming soon)

On a sad note, yesterday was 13 years since my mom passed away and it never gets any easier! I think you just learn to kind of hold your sadness in better or something. I miss her more and more the older I get because I realize how much you still need your parents, even if you are a grownup. I know she is shining down on my sisters and I in heaven because she was the most amazing woman I've ever known and she loved God with all her heart. I only hope to impact people's lives the way she did. I love you Mom!!!
