9 Days until Christmas!

I've been lazy with this whole blogging thing lately... my sincere apologies. Here are a few pics from our snowy weekend...


The dogs with our snowman that we worked VERY hard on. I'm seriously sore... sad I know.

Saturday night Justin and Gretchen came over. The snow kept coming down, so we decided to go sledding down our street on air mattresses. It was SO much fun. This is me! It was our first BIG snow of the season... hopefully we'll have a white Christmas! Sunday we literally laid around ALL day. There was a Lord of the Rings marathon on... we are HUGE Lord of the Rings dorks... and proud of it.

We leave for Houston on Thursday night after work. We are so excited... I know Brian is ready for a visit to his "real" home. I have SO much Christmas shopping still to do. I'm only done with Brian and my parents. Lots of money to be spent between now and Christmas. We come back to St. Louis on Christmas Day... my family's Christmas is that following Saturday. So excited! I LOVE Christmas!!!!!!!

That's all for now... Hope everyone has a marvelous week!!

Facebook vs. Blogging

So I've encountered a delima. Whenever I post new pictures on facebook, am I obligated to post the exact same ones on my blog? The only reason I ask is because I know everyone who checks this, also religiously checks facebook (don't worry I do as well). So... I've come to the decision that I will most likely just post my photos on facebook, mainly because my computer at home takes FOREVER to load pictures on here for some reason. But, just in case you missed it on facebook... here is our very first Christmas Tree :)

We had a pretty good weekend I think. Friday we actually didn't do much of anything. We were both tired so we just got our grocery shopping out of the way and then went home and crashed for the night. Saturday I went shopping with Gretchen. I was supposed to be Christmas shopping for other people but I ended up finding some great deals on clothes for myself :) There's still time left to shop so I'm not too worried. I wish I could talk to ya'll about Brian's present, but I can't because I know he checks this every now and then. So... you'll just have to wait. After we went shopping we went back to the house and made a bunch of appetizers for the Mizzou game. My parents came over also. They freaking lost, but it was still a good time. Sunday we went to church, lunch, target and then hung out with my brother for a bit. Brian and I watched Blood Diamond Sunday night... VERY good movie. I highly recommend it for you movie lovers out there.

Nothing too exciting planned for this week really. We bowl on Thursday... woo hoo!! No plans for this weekend yet either... but that doesn't stop me from wishing it was FRIDAY. Only three more days.

That's all for this installment... sorry not a very exciting week.

Love you all.
