We Made It!


Monday was our 1 year anniversary! Time flies! It's crazy to think of everything going on this time last year. What wonderful memories.

We watched our wedding video for the first time in a year. I wish I knew how to post it on here.


We brought our cake top back from Canyon. For some odd reason Perry left the live flowers on the side of the cake. Once Chris saw those it was over for him... I on the other hand had a couple bites. It's still sitting in our fridge because I can't find it in my heart to throw it away.
Tonight we're doing our anniversary celebration. Dinner at Hector's on Henderson then out to ring in 2009!
In other news we survived Christmas! Dallas to Canyon, Canyon to Robert Lee, Robert Lee to San Angelo, San Angelo to Canyon, Canyon to Amarillo, Amarillo to Dallas.... more on Christmas at a later date.

Turkey Day!!

Turkey Day came and went.....

I had to work Wednesday & Friday so the Demeres/Hoods ventured to Dallas! I am so thankful for family that will go to extreme measures to spend the Holidays together.

Mom & Co arrived Tuesday night with Nena & Grandad and my dad arriving Wednesday. Low & behold I got to leave work 2 hours early, which was an awesome surprise! Just beating traffic is enough to make my day.

Their time spent here was dominated by good food and shopping, 2 of my favorite things.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for many things, but here are my top 5:
1. a family full of unconitional love. From my husband to my parents to my in-laws to my extended family I never for a second doubt their love.
2. friends... the good kind that aren't fair weather friends, but the ones who will always be there.
3. the new opportunities God has given Chris & I. If this time a year ago you had told me this is how things would work I wouldn't have believed you.
4. happiness. cheesy, I know. But I have so many things to be happy about.
5. CHRISTMAS TIME. It just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
