Christmas Sweater Party

We had a Christmas sweater party with our class from church last night. It was sooo much fun. We ate lots of great appetizers and desserts and gave out prizes for a few different categories. I ended up buying a Christmas dress a Goodwill (which is very unflattering) and Marcus wore what I'm pretty sure is a womens sweater that he found on the men's rack at another thrift store. We're looking forward to heading to Arkansas later this week.

We've finally been hanging up more things around the house. I thought I'd share.

Marcus painted these canvases. They are hanging above our couch. He is way more crafty than I am!

I had some pictures from Mexico and Jamaica blown up in black and white. I was happy with how they turned out.

New curtains-they've been up for a month or so.

my first razorback game

Yesterday Marcus and I drove over to Fayetteville with another couple from church, Scott and Ashley, for the Arkansas/South Carolina game. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect. The boys had second row seats and Ashley and I sat up higher, but still had a good view. After the game we went to one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. Things were great until we hit a deer on the way home. We were in Ashley's Jeep and it was pretty damaged and undriveable. We were stuck in Inola, OK (middle of nowhere) for an hour or two. Thankfully, another friend came to pick us all up.
P.S. When it comes to basketball, Kentucky is still my favorite team!

Happy Fall!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! The pretty leaves make me so happy and I just love Halloween and Thanksgiving. We had our Trunk of Treats at church last week and my parents and brother came this weekend. It was their second trip to Tulsa and we had a great time. Our trunk-it was thrown together at the last minute.

Dad and meYou guessed it-Dad, Mom, and me

Kind of random, but I love to change the placemats for different seasons.

I love this fall sign!

this week

This week has not been the most fun. My dad called me last Thursday and told me that my Grandmother wasn't doing well at all. She ended up passing away on Friday night. Even though she was 88 and in a nursing home, this was still really hard for me. She was a wonderful Christian lady and one of the best influences I've ever known. I know that she is really happy now though. Marcus and I traveled to KY (a 10 hour drive) on Sunday and came back to Tulsa on Tuesday. It was really really good to see family that I hadn't seen since our wedding. I hadn't seen my parents since Memorial Day, so seeing them was wonderful too. Please keep my family in your prayers!

Dallas Weekend

We went to Dallas with some friends from church last weekend. Marcus and I were able to have dinner with my college roommate and her husband friday night. Saturday we went to an outlet mall and to my one of my favorite stores ever-Sam Moon....I am obsessed with that place! That night we went to a Rangers game. It was my first major league game and was alot of fun. I spent most of the time playing with our friends' kids. : ) We finished out the weekend with a trip to IKEA on Sunday. Marcus and I have been traveling so much lately. We don't have any other trips planned until we go to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. It will be nice to have some time at home. I've been terrible about blogging lately. Most weeks I just don't have much to write about. I'll try to get better about it though.

Mexico Pictures

We've been home for two weeks and I am just getting around to posting pictures from our trip. The resort was beautiful and very relaxing. We just sat at the pool everyday. I read three books and Marcus slept alot. We did get massages one day and Marcus learned how to sail a little Hobie Cat sailboat. He was really good at it, by the way. I was quite proud. The food here was great too. We loved the Asian restaurant and ate there 3 times! It was fun celebrating Marcus' birthday at the resort. The housekeepers put rose petals all over our room and made a little towel man. Later that evening they brought him some chocolate cake. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Ok, our internet is not cooperating and this is taking a long time.... More pics to come at a later date!
