Off to Boston in the morning...

We are officially headed north to Boston tomorrow. We fly out of here at 6:15 am. Whew, that's early!! Which pretty much means Chad & I have some clothes washing & packing up to do tonight. Doesn't look like we'll get much sleep, but we will be happy and in Boston tomorrow which makes us very happy!

I looked on weather.com and saw that there is a chance of snow showers in NYC on New Year's Eve. Should be very interesting!! I would LOVE for it to give us a little snow while we're there! That would be like the vanilla icing on our wintery cake. Next time you hear from me, I'll be vacationing in the New England states. Hope everyone has a safe & Happy New Year!

We will party like it's 2-0-0...9! :)

MMMM, Pizza...

We are about to head to the Mellow Mushroom for the bestest pizza in the world. It can't be beat. It has become one of our favorites & we always feel miserable by the time we walk out from fullness, but it's worth it. Pepperoni & jalapenos here we come! Enjoy your weekend while I happily continue my path towards obesity! :)

Twas the night before Christmas...

We have been busy little elf bakers today. Our pie creations turned out beautifully & Chad & I ended up with pumpkin, pecan, and cherry pies. MMM, MM, good. We are all so excited to cut into them tomorrow! I also went ahead and prepared some deviled eggs (MMM) & my mommy's bestest stuffing in the world. I'm gonna try it out on the Sellers family to see how it goes over with them. I can't wait for dinner tomorrow.

We all went to see 4 Christmases tonight at the theatre. It was really cute & fun to go with the fam.

I still, even though I'm 24 and know that Christmas isn't all about Santa & presents, I will still admit that I get excited about the next morning of surprises & family time. I gotta go to sleep now so it'll come faster! :)

Merry Christmas to all & to all a good night!

In the Myrtle-B, yo!

We have arrived to our Christmas celebration location for this season! We flew cross country and arrived here in Myrtle Beach yesterday afternoon to spend the holidays with Chad's side of the family. Mommy-in-law has finished all of her extreme Christmas decorations and the house looks beautiful, inside & out. We have a Sellers family portrait scheduled for this evening at Sears. It should be a good time. haha.

I can't believe we are only 2 days away from Christmas. Thank the great Lord above for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! And also, a great thank you to him for allowing the love of my life to be home this Christmas season. We are so blessed! I would also like to send my love and sympathy out to those who have their 'other halves' overseas right now. God bless them & keep them safe!

Praise the Lord for all He has lavished upon us! I wish everyone a wonderful & joyful Christmas celebration.

Yay ABC...& a kitty?!

The new episode of Private Practice was already available on ABC.com last night, so I got to catch myself up, which I was very happy about. Also, I was glad to have Michelle win the Biggest Loser the other night! She definitely deserved it & she looked hott. I don't think we have to worry about her putting the weight back on in the future which is good. And now she's $250,000 richer! You go girl!

We went to eat Brick Oven pizza for lunch today. It was mmm, mmm, good. I had a Coke with mine, which always makes pizza even yummier. That delicious Pepperoni & Jalapeno pizza. It's our Friday family specialty. We LOOOOVE Fridays.

I am a doggy-lover and there were some puppies for free in the Wal-Mart parking lot this afternoon. We almost stopped, but decided it's like torture playing with puppies you can't have. They were really cute though. Chad & I would love to get a dog, but our place just isn't fitting for a German Shepherd. So, looks like we'll have to wait. Anyways, the point of telling you that I'm a doggy-lover was to share with you how much Shannon's cat likes me. This is unusual. For one, I'm allergic to cats and have never really liked them. I can take or leave petting one. I will agree that they are cute as kittens, but once they grow up and get their own cat-like personality, I don't really appreciate them as much. Bebe, Shannon's kitty, is LOVING me. I have been scratching her, petting her, and letting her sleep on my lap, which is soooo out of character for me. I guess I just figured that while I'm here alone in the house all day, I might as well befriend someone. And Bebe is now my someone. Haha. She's a sweet cat though. And she loooooves string. It's hilarious. Anyways, for those who know me really well, I figured you would be shocked by my behavior. And there you go...

The DVR Blues...

I'm feeling a little out of my element here in AR. We currently don't have a DVR in the house we're staying at, and it's sad that I'm sad about it. haha. I think I may need an intervention. Well, I guess I don't, being that I don't have an addiction to it right now while we don't have one, but I do think I'm going through withdrawals. And that's a very sad thing. We have basic cable here, no TV guide, & I couldn't find ABC last night. Therefore, I missed Private Practice which is one of my new favorites and I was sad. UGH! I'll probably watch it online but they always wait a week or so to post the new episodes. I guess they do that so the impatient people (yours truly) will go to iTunes and BUY it instead. We're going to have to do something about getting a DVR when we get back in January. So many shows come back in the spring! We have Lost, 24, American Idol, Life, Private Practice, the Biggest Loser, etc. It's gonna be crazy.

Does anyone else find it sad that this is all that I have to blog about? I guess that if this is my life's worst hurdle right now, then we're doing okay. I'm so worthless. haha.

Winter Wonderland...almost.

In Arkansas right now, it is 26 degrees and there is a solid layer of ice on every surface outside. It's COLD. And everything has been cancelled today. Including all base activities (so Shannon & Chad got to stay home), and school is out for the little ones. So, we decided to spend our day doing 'snow day' activities such as watching movies (Santa Claus 3 is in right now), cooking a hot stew for lunch, making homemade hot chocolate, and we had a delicious apple bake for breakfast. It's a great day of lounging. It actually looks like it snowed outside, but it didn't. It's just yucky, have to stay home, dangerous road-ICE. Sucks, but we're making the best of it.

Cassandra's graduation dinner at Capeo is tonight and we're really hoping it works out! I got to spend the day with her yesterday and it was a lot of fun. We went to eat lunch at a Japanese Hibachi/Sushi grill called Sakura. It was yummy. Then we went to Wal-mart to grab some special ingredients to make Christmas goodies. We spent the rest of the afternoon making Puppy Chow (it's soooo sinful & addicting) and also some white & milk chocolate pretzels. Delicioso! It was fun stuff & we got lots of loving from our hubbies who love baked goods. :)

That's pretty much all that's going on with me right now. Hope everyone is surviving the cold, wherever you are!
