Terence and I spent the day shopping around at the after Christmas sales. We both found a pair of jeans at Nordstrom on SERIOUS sale so we had to get them! He got some AG jeans, and I got another pair of Joe’s Jeans (they are the only ones that fit my booty!) We both need to lose some weight so we are going to start trying to make conscious decisions about our diet….even though today when T ordered a NON-FAT latte instead of a regular one he just about hurled…hmmm…..that may take some work.


Also-the other day I had a $50 off coupon so I used it to buy the Brighton watch I’d been wanting for a GREAT price as well! I love it!

I got this cute glass jar today at Williams Sonoma for $11!!! I love it too and I have no idea what I will put in this, but I’ve seen the jars on other people’s decorating blogs and I just LOVE them.

They also sell Dylan’s Candy Bar chocolate at Williams Sonoma now and I’ve been wanting to try it being the chocolate phene I am..ha..ha..It was good! But not worth $3.95 a bar 🙁 At least I have tried it now and gotten that out of my system.

I can’t believe 2008 is officially over! It’s been quite a year for us full of changes and adjustments. I am really looking forward to 2009 and what the Lord has in store for us. We just got home from a wonderful night out with friends at a fancy restaurant at which we waited over two hours for a table 🙁 It was worth it and we had a great time!!!

CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU! MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN THE COMING YEAR!!!

We then headed back to Conway to spend a couple days with Mom and Dad. Friday night we all ate a yummy dinner at the Olive Garden and went to see the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. The movie was VERY long, but also VERY good!

Here is Daddy modeling his “Becky & Bonnie” shirt

Mom made us cocoa in her coco-motion while we watched a movie

I miss you Mommy and Daddy already 🙁
Thank you for a wonderful Christmas! We love you soooo MUCH! They always spoil us rotten! We got so many things we wanted-clothes, lots of stocking stuff, $$$, Starbucks cards, I got a Ginalli I’d been wanting, sheets, a digital picture frame, and so much other stuff I can’t think of right now! We are so blessed to have such a loving and wonderful family.

We left Christmas eve and headed to the farm. It was a looong drive! We got there around midnight…after a couple trips to Starbucks of course! We listened to New Moon on the way because I want Terence to finish the Twilight series with me 🙂

Christmas day we all woke up to biscuits and gravy and opened our stockings and presents. I just love the way Nannie and Papa’s house feels. It feels like HOME.

Stockings all hung in a row

Mom got a Kissy doll from Aunt Karli. A. Karli ruined Mom’s Kissy doll when they were little by taking a permanent marker to her and Mom never forgave her for ruining her favorite toy! A. Karli found one on EBay and got it for Mom and it was so funny watching her open it and then she started crying…it was the sweetest thing 🙂

All the guys got some GRILLZ for their teeth in their stockings. They were pretty nasty looking..ha..ha..

Lindsey got a Wii for Christmas and we had so much fun playing it. I rock at bowling!!! WEEEEE!!!!! I really want one now!

And we also had to visit Papa on Christmas too! He is in Heaven rejoicing this Christmas…it was hard not having him with us, but he’s always in our minds and hearts and there are so many little things that remind us all of Papa each day. We love you Papa!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Tonight I went to a Christmas service with Terence’s Granddaddy and his wife Nell. They are the sweetest grandparents! I just love how older people are to each other, Granddaddy waits on Nell hand and foot and they are so cute with each other. The service was beautiful and Terence’s Aunt, who has a beautiful voice sang a couple of solos. I was grateful they let me tag along and I had such a good time! Afterwards they took me to eat at their apartment tower, where they have a buffet every night…it’s the same place we ate at Thanksgiving and it always has great food! Thank you Granddaddy and Nell for a wonderful evening!

Also-two of my customers at work brought me Starbucks gift cards in the last few days! Do they know me well or what? They are definately feeding the addiction..ha..ha..!!! I love the people I work with and see every day and it’s nice to know they like me too 🙂
