Happy Birthday Clay!!

Happy birthday to my sweet, sweet husband!  Today he celebrates his 33rd birthday!!  He doesn't look a day over 23, right?!  :)  I will never be able to tell him how blessed I am to have him in my life.  I love him so very much.  He means the absolute world to me.  I never knew true love until I met him.  Clay can always put a smile on my face and brighten the darkest nights.  He has stood by my side during everything!  I love you, babe!!  I hope your birthday was fabulous!  There are many more to come!

Happy Birthday Hubby!  :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Can you believe it's 2009?!!  I can't.  AT ALL!  Time goes by way too fast.  

I hope everyone had a great celebration.  We had dinner with the Poes and Herdons at Flip's.  YUM!  My favorite.  After dinner Clay and I went over to Ben and Kelsey's for drinks and games.  We had such a great time!  I think definitely one of the best New Year's ever.  It was a great low key night with great friends.  We played on the Wii Fit, Scene It 2nd Edition, and Loaded Questions.  Loaded Questions was HILARIOUS!!  It's basically a game of questions everyone writes down an answer and you have to guess who answered what.  It's really funny....especially after a few adult beverages.  Thanks so much to Ben and Kelsey for hosting us!!

I hope everyone has a fabulous 2009!

Christmas!!

Well we survived hosting Christmas Day lunch!!  I made my first turkey and hosted 20 people in our home!  YIKES!  

Our Christmas celebration started Christmas Eve going to church with Karen, Luke and Kathryn.  We then headed to the Burgess house for Christmas Carols and presents.  It is always so fun hearing our out of tune family belt out carols!!  :)  Our nieces definitely have a great time helping everyone pick out songs.  Afterwards we came home and exchanged our gifts to each other.  This year we decided to do stocking stuffers and Clay out did himself!!  He's always so worried he'll get the wrong thing but he always gets exactly what I want!  

Christmas morning started off with me putting my first turkey in the oven.  Let me just tell you...that is not a one person job.  I had to wake Clay up to help me get it in the oven...that sucker was heavy!  20 pounds of bird isn't easy to maneuver!!!  After the bird was settled we went to Karen's for Jesus' birthday cake and presents.  Chocolate chocolate chip ice cream at 8:30am is always fun!  Haha.  At 11:30 Clay's dad came to our house to exchange presents.  Then at 1pm everyone started showing up for lunch.  I think everyone had a great time!  I'm still kicking myself for not taking pictures.  Gggrrrr!!  Hopefully someone took some.  Send them my way if you did! 

Don't worry....after that we still had one more stop.  It was off to Sugar's at 6pm.  We had chili dogs and played some Dirty Santa.

This was definitely the best Christmas yet.  We hope to make Christmas at our house a tradition...and maybe one day we can invite more people....we just need a bigger house!

Phew!

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!

Enjoy the last days of 2008.... 

Wedding Weekend

We just wrapped up our last wedding of the year! Our friends Shelley and Ryan were married Saturday night. I just love weddings! It's such a wonderful way to bring friends and family together. Speaking of bringing friends together...our favorite guests came to town...Jenny and Scott (and baby Jackson)!!! We all had such a great time spending time together and being with Shelley and Ryan as they became husband and wife!
Can I just tell you....Jenny has the cutest baby bump EVER!! So looks so amazing! AND! I got to feel Jackson kick. It was a little tiny kick. I can't WAIT to meet sweet baby Jackson....YAY!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!

Oh and I'm hosting Christmas Day...so I'm sure there will be a blog to follow that event! EEEK! Wish me luck....

1 year of wedded BLISS!!!

I cannot believe we have already celebrated our 1 year anniversary. This year has gone by so fast and has been the best year EVER!! We have truly enjoyed getting settled into our married life. To celebrate we decided to head up to Colorado Springs! We left Saturday morning and arrived safe and sound that afternoon. I had ordered the top tier of our wedding cake to take with us....traveling with a cake is not easy but if you need any tips I'll fill you in. Anywho...we went to Denver to watch the Big XII game with Luke and Clay's cousin Cody....so fun because our awesome Sooners pulled off a big win!!! Sunday we just hung out in CO Springs and watched the Patriots game. Luke came to town to watch with us. We ended up playing 5 games of darts and somehow Clay dominated every game!! I think he secretly plays darts every day!! So finally it was Monday!! Our first anniversary!! We decided to tour the Olympic training center which was about the coolest thing we've ever done!! Unfortunately there weren't many athletes training the day we went but it was still very neat to see everything.

Our cake!! That made it through the medical detector....PHEW!

The pathway leading through the training facility. There is a flag for every country represented in the Olympics. Pretty cool.

After our tour we decided to head to the Broadmoor for a drink....duh! While we were at the Broadmoor it started to snow like CRAZY!! It was AMAZING!!

CHEERS!!

My favorite picture!!

We had dinner later that night at Walter's Bistro and just relaxed. It was so much fun watching it pour down snow!

The next day we headed to Vail to see the Crotts family. It took us a little longer than expected to get there so we weren't able to ski Tuesday. We went to the slopes on Wednesday and the weather was a little crazy. People were telling us that their goggles were freezing and they couldn't see anything. So we stopped in Starbucks to warm up and then Clay decided to go up and check out the conditions. The weather got better so I went up too. It was fun!! We decided to head back to the Springs after skiing.

Thursday we ended up going back to Denver to have a farewell dinner with Luke and his friends and Clay's cousin Lea. We went to Vesta Dipping Grill....if you ever make it to Denver I highly recommend this restaurant! It's not fondue like one might think but you get to choose dipping sauces for your entrees. So much fun!!

Luke, Clay, me, Lea, JJ, and Trevor

Friday we drove home to OKC. We drove home Hank's Corvette. That was a long 10 hour drive!!!

All in all we had a fabulous anniversary trip!! We got to do a lot and see a lot of Clay's family! I could've stayed in CO for awhile longer....I just love it up there.

PS - I still can't believe it's been a year! WOW!!

Our Christmas Tree!

Our tree!!!  It's decorated with our ornaments from the ornament shower and the tree skirt that my grandmother made!

I love it!  Enjoy!
