Better late than ever, we had a great 2nd anniversary at the beach! We spent a long weeken
d relaxing, eating, watching football, and enjoying time together! Can NOT believe its been 2 years! Love this man! (sorry for bad quality of pictures, my camera is messed up, so phone camera it was!) Ryan surprised me with a new David Yurman bracelet :)

Project

I found these pillows for 2 bucks at the thrift store. They looked brand new and never used, BUT I still got major grossed out. I found this fabric at a local fabric store and decided to cut up the thrift store ones, use the stuffing and create my own! Here are the pics as I went along:

1st away

This was my first Christmas away from my family and I MADE IT! I am so thankful for my inlaws and we had a wonderful Christmas celebrating our savior. On Thursday before Christmas, my parents came in town and we celebrated together! I made a pinterest meal (Rosemary pork loin, broccoli bake, corn souffle, rolls, biscuit rolled sausage for an appetizer, ice cream and cookies. We had a great time! I am so thankful great family time on both sides! Hope everyone had a great holiday! Now off to pack for BRECKENRIDGE COLORADO!

Thankful list...

So, everyone keeps posting what they are thankful for on facebook and I realized it too late, SO for the month of November, I want to list my top 5 thankful list! So much to be thankful for at this stage in my life...however these are ones that are a constant reminder daily.

1. I am thankful for Jesus. Not only does He get me

through the day, but also comforts me in anxious times, which I have had a LOT of lately.

I am also thankful for my new bible study group and the girls that I have met through it. I am thankful for the new churches we are trying in Auburn. We love COH, but feel led to see what else is out there.

2. The most amazing, comforting, caring, funny, cute, helpful husband I could ever ask for. I hate to admit that before we were married I never thought it could be this wonderful. He has made my life better than I could ever have imagine. I love doing 'life' with him. in 11 days it will be 2 years. CRAZY!

3. I am thankful for my family. My parents have shown such a great illustration of a great marriage for Ryan and I. I am a daddy's girl and my mom is

my best friend. I could not ask for more.I am thankful for my brother, Travis. We go in spurts where we are close and when we are not. He helps keep me grounded and he has come SUCH a long way in his life that I am such a proud sister and I am honored to call him my brother!

4. I am thankful for my inlaws. I had the luxury of knowing them VERY well b

efore we got married due to our marathon dating plan, and I am so thankful for the role they play in my life.

They are the m

ost generous, thoughtful people. I honestly look forward to spending time with th

em, always. I am also thankful for my brother and sister in law and they gave us an adorable neice and nephew on the way!

5 I am thankful for our friends. It is crazy how friends come and go, change, and get st

ronger. God has blessed me with strong, lasting friendships. I miss those that we have strayed away, but am blessed beyond belief for those that are always there for me, KNOW me, and love me anyway. Lately I realize how Ryans friends and their wives are such a blessing to us and we have loved enjoying life with them and look forward to many more fun times ahead.

Thank God for my many blessings!

Happy Halloween!

NOLA

We had a blast in NOLA..We went to Mobile first and had dinner with friends and enjoyed New Orleans Friday. On Saturday we went to Baton Rouge on a bus with friends and it was a blast! The game was awful but we had fun anyway!





War Eagle ANYWAYS!

Saturday=Football and Antiques!

Ryan and I have had a perfect Saturday so far! Chili is in the crockpot, Ryan played Golf this morning and I went antiquing! I started off at Resurrect, an antique store, in Opelika.

I found this which I love, LOVE, love! Ryan is lucky I only got what I got, I could have bought the whole store! I am really kind of over my wrought iron look, and really like the rustic/natural look.

and left with my car looking like this...

ignore the bricks, that will be a later post....

So I was on a mission...I wanted to replace this:

and I came home with some of these....

So I recruited this...

Now on to football! War Eagle from the Harbucks!
