Everyone knows that fall is the best time of year for television... especially in the Jones household. Between Chris and I and 5 nights of good shows our DVR is working overtime.

Mondays start out with Dancing with the Stars, which HAD a decent cast until my 2 favorites (Louie & Melissa) were voted off last night. Stupid judges. After Dancing comes 2 Monday night staples: One Tree Hill & Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl is possibly my favorite of all my shows... Who can resist Churck Bass?? And to end my Mondays is the always dramatic, somewhat annoying, publicity seeking John & Kate Plus 8. Yes I still record it, but I fast forward through Kate's "I'm the best mom in the world" pre planned monologues.

Tuesdays beging with Dancing with the Stars results and ends with The Biggest Loser. Somewhere in between falls 90210 and Melrose Place. I'm not completely sold on Melrose yet, but still find myself sucked into the plot.

Wednesdays... GLEE GLEE GLEE!! Best new show of the season. Also on Wednesdays is Nip/Tuck, an old favorite (Oh how I miss Nip/Tuck Tuesdays from college).

I have found a new Thursday night favorite... The Office! It is simply hilarious. Working in an office has seriously made me appreciate Michael Scott's off the wall comments. (Fax it like it's hot, fax it like it's hot). And then there's Grey's, which isn't my favorite by an means, but I can't seem to give it up.

Also somewhere in the mix are So You Think You Can Dance & House Hunters... It's exhausting....

&&& I love my husband because he likes Chuck Bass as much as I do. :)

Sometimes a photo says it all

&&& I love my husband because he spent Sunday morning/afternoon helping me organize our closets. Oh, the little things in life!

86 Years & Still Kickin'

The 4 of us (Me, Chris & the dogs) ventured to Robert Lee, Texas... population 812... on a good day. We don't make it down there are often as we would like, but it is sooo nice when we do. I love getting out of the big city as often as possible.

This weekend was my Grandma Millican's 86th birthday, so all of Nena's brothers and sister gathered on Saturday night to celebrated. There were probably 30 of us there, which was a pretty good turn out.

My mom & I swear she is the spitting image of Yetta from the TV show The Nanny. She not only looks like Yetta, but there are a lot of similar personality traits. They are both very sassy! She's like our own little honkey tonk version of Yetta.

One of my funniest memories of my wedding includes Grandma Millican. I didn't actually witness it, but in this instance the picture said it all. There sat Grandma Millican using her napkin as a bib in the middle of my beautiful wedding reception....

&&& I love my husband because... #1 on his iTunes recently played list is Party in the USA. :)

My little Man

Oxford is growing by leaps & bounds! The little guy is HUGE!

When we picked him up on Sunday we were amazed at how much he had grown in a matter of 2 days! We went to put his collar on and had to loosen it to fit around his neck.


Ollie & Ox are getting along great! They chase each other around the couch, wrestle & cuddle (only when they don't know we are looking).


&&& of course I love my Husband because... He takes Oxford out at 4 AM & lets me get my beauty sleep :)

Mr & Mrs Smith

Taylor & Clayton are married!

This weekend we were in OKC for Taylor & Clayton's wedding. It was such a great weekend. We arrived in OKC around 5 on Friday, just in time to get ready for the rehearsal & rehearsal dinner at Nonnas. It was such a nice dinner at a beautiful resteraunt. Chris & I had never been there before, but always wanted to, so we were excited.

After the rehearsal dinner the bridal parties & spouces went to Tap Works in Bricktown for a few drinks. However, once midnight hit we had to take Taylor back to the hotel so that she wouldn't see her groom on her wedding day. This was so tough for Taylor. Since Clayton has been living in Kansas City she rarely sees him, so to not be able to speak with im for an entire day was a difficult task.

Saturday during the day Taylor pampered us. We were all given monogramed matching pajamas & got our hair did. It was nice to have everything come to us at the Bridesmaid suite in the hotel. We were able to relax and not have to rush around from place to place.

The wedding was b-e-a-utiful. Her colors were reds, oranges, brown, & some green (fall colors). It turned out prettier than I could've ever imagined. She also had an awesome old school rock band that played stuff from Bon Jovi to Eric Clapton to Michael Jackson. It was so fun that the reception didn't wind down until around 1AM! The last song the band played was Faithfull by Journey, which ended in everyone at the reception seranading the couple with, "Whooooa whoa whoa." :)

Overall it was a fabulous weekend. It was such a blessing to be a part of such a beautiful wedding. I am so incredibly happy for my friend.

&&& I love my husband because...

My friends love him as much as they love me

O.C.T.O.B.E.R. Halloween is coming near.

• Since my last post:
  Chris didn't get the job at Underwood (still a sore subject, but when God closes a window he opens a door, right?)
• We got another puppy, Oxford.
• We discovered the most fun place EVER, Top Golf
• Taylor is about to become Mrs. Clayton Smith
• I am getting a new car!!!

Ok, so our new puppy, Oxford aka OX, is the fattest, sweetest, orneriest puppy I have ever met... & I am in love. He is such a sweet addition to our little family. He and Ollie get along famously and are already the best of friends.

Taylor gets married this weekend! Taylor gets married this weekend! I had such a blast at her bachelorette party last weekend & am so excited to celebrated her marriage this coming weekend.

Top Golf= Awesome fun. It's like bowling & the driving range mixed together. You're outside, playing golf, buckets of beer & good friends. We went with Wally & his rommate & had a blast.

Chris has been back twice since then.

Ps... I beat the boys :)

My car should arrive between 6&7 tonight. Wahoooo. The X-Box was having some major issues (overheating in cool weather, or in a drive through) & instead of sinking more money into it we decided to just trade it in. Sooo I am the proud owner of a black 2010 SE Pathfinder.

I've decided to add a new portion of my blog entitled, "Why I love my husband." I often times find myself thinking, "& this is why I love my husband." So why not share, right?

&&& I love my husband because he surprises me with dark chocolate & a snuggie after a long night out with the girls :) Here's a photo in case you've never heard of a snuggie (it's a blanket with arm holes :))
