THE RING!!

so to make a long story short, the engagement ring that daniel gave to me when he proposed was scratching (the band) so we took the diamond out of the old ring and got a new setting. i just got it back on saturday and i love it!!!

D.C. here we come!!

Tomorrow we leave for Washington, D.C. and i am pumped. We are going there for a theological conference which will be awesome! Time off is always nice, and it is highly needed right now! we leave tomorrow and come back on saturday! Its going to be a blast. The bonus is that my amazing hubby is going too! yeah!

FINALLY...YEAH!

We have after 3 months received our OFFICIAL wedding pictures. They turned out nice, but who likes pictures of themself?? not me thats for sure! Oh and we are going to be in Portico-the magazine...for any of you who dont know what that is, it is a local magazine with many different things in it but they have a special addition on weddings. I think it comes out in January so look for it! Not only do you get to see pictures from our wedding, but also the story of how we met and fell madly in love.

Posing Pup

Tonight I spent my time taking pictures of my 2 babies. They are so cute!!

Refreshing Run

Today I actually got to run outside. It was so peaceful although a little chilly. Daniel and I usually go to the gym every morning around 5:15 so that cuts my running time outside. Daniel was a little under the weather this morning so we did not go to the gym, but I found a break in my busy shedule to go running. It was amazing!!!

Life Happens...

So i have been really busy the past few weeks that i have not up dated my blog. Nothing new is happening except that the piles of school work seem to be growing as the end of the semester is gettimg here faster than i know it! I am excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas....i absolutly love those holidays where family gathers and it is cold outside yummy food is prepared! oh and not to mention Christ's Birthday that's a biggy. ahh i cant wait! The only thing new that i can think of in our lives is that Daniel got promoted to manager/supervisor yeah! of his company! i was so excited for him. Ok i that is all the up dating for now...

GO SABERS!!!

Our School has a "real" basketball team this year! We are in some division...i dont know what it is though. Anyways they played their first game last night and the girls played really well but lost, but the guys won 70 something to 50 something! It was awesome!!....oh and a side note, i got to see my most favorite roommate from last year (Steph) so i was super excited!!!

Family Fun....

So last night my family and I had an interesting yet enjoyable outing. It was very interesting in many ways. First we all met at Ruby Tuesday (for those who dont know this is a restaurant) on Southside. I was really excited because my whole family and their significant "others" haven’t been together in a while. So we ate dinner and enjoyed good fellowship and conversations that have been missed. Here are pictures of us at dinner.

My Mom(Debra) and Dad(Kyle)

Then the fun really began.....Daniel, my Mom, and I all came from work so we had our own cars, and My dad, Shaffer, his girlfriend Lindsey, Leslie and her boyfriend Joel all pilled into my Grandmothers Lexus SUV because my family no longer had an SUV since someone hit it a couple of months ago and totaled it. You might be wandering why i am telling you all of this...because when my mom bought the Eric Clapton tickets she only bought 1 parking pass--thinking that we would still have the Expedition. So we all had to pill into this 5 passenger Lexus where my mom and dad sat comfortably in the front and the "kids" meaning us sat in a crammed back seat. It wasn’t that bad until my dad began to test out the breaks to see how well they really would work....this was on purpose by the way. It was somewhat awkward as I was facing Lindsey with Daniel on my left and Joel under my right leg for we were so packed in. Anyways we arrived at the concert finally found our seats with plenty of time left to spare. We listened to the guy that came on before Eric and he was good, although my attention span is very limited when there are crowds around. It drives Daniel crazy because I am a huge people watcher! I was somewhat uncomfortable because everyone and when I say everyone I mean everyone was drinking around us and spilling there beer everywhere. That part wasn’t so bad..infact this is horrible, but I could not help but laugh as people tripped or stumbled down the stairs...that horrible I know but it was pretty entertaining. Anyways Eric Clapton definitely has a wide range of fans...many older people still thinking that they are 20. The music was great and Daniel had a smile on his face every time I looked at him because he loves Eric Clapton. That makes me happy because he is adorable when he smiles. When the concert was over we made our way through the packed crowd..getting separated a couple times and encountering a stink bomb along the way, pilled back in the car and we were on our way home. It was an adventure!

Our Wedding PART 2

me and my bridesmaids right before the wedding


My Dad was practicing his kiss for when he will "give me away"


This picture is so funny to me because it makes Daniel look really small. He is 6'2 so he is not short, but his two best friends:Ryan and Dustin are both like 6'5 or 6'6.

Other Weddings

Daniel's cousin Ashley got married last weekend, and these are pictures from her wedding.
