Ice Ice Baby

It's an ice storm in Dallas!! Unfortunately I am at work and Chris is at school. There's no such thing as a "snow day" in the real world. Bum deal.

Chris is just getting over the stomach flu. Gross.

Mom & Codi come this weekend and VEGAS next weekend.

I have house fever....

I'm in love with Greenland Hills/Vickery Place in Dallas. It's near where we currently live which is such a neat area. It's full of character and low crime... which is a biggie for me.

We started talking with a realtor, so keep your fingers crossed. I've got house fever!!

In other news I'm thinking of going back to school. No. Not graduate school. Just getting certified to teach. It's something that's been in the back of my mind for a while. Nothing's for certain yet.

Hello January!

It's mid January. Weird.

Where did Winter go?

Things in the Jones house are back to normal. My work schedule is back to the normal and Chris started back to school last Tuesday. It's been tough having to get up and go to work while he got to enjoy his break... no fair!

Nothing exciting going on in our little fam.

Here's some Christmas pictures to enjoy!

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.

Here Lately...

Our trip to Lubbock didn't go as well as planned. We lost... bad, and the Red Raider fans didn't hesitate to rub it in. Other than our butt kickin' in Jones stadium our trip home was awesome. It was great to get to spend time with our families.



Much of Chris's time has been devoted to the memo. He spent many long hours at the library over the past cople weeks. It was due on Thursday so now we are MEMO FREE! Praise Jesus!!


Last weekend we did a whole lot of nothing. We prepared for my family, who is arriving today, for Thanksgiving. Saturday we watched the Sooners dominate Tech. Even though I have a vengeance toward Oklahoma, it was nice to see Tech with their tail between their legs.


We went Christmas shopped, went to brunch on Greenville, and saw the new Bond movie (overrated).


Here's some pictures of the Tech/OSU game.

Happy Halloweenie!

Friday night was Halloween! BOO! A bunch of the law school people and their significant others got together and then went to the bars. While Chris joined in as the 3rd member of Motley Crew, I went a safer route, as Audrey Hepburn.

Saturday we went to dinner at one of our favorite places, Travernas, in the Knox/Henderson area. It has THE BEST rissoto known to mankind. No lie. After our fabulous rissoto we had intentions of going to the movies, but first we ran home so I could grab a sweater. Welll... we never made it. The Tech UT game was far more interesting.

So Sunday afternoon consisted of a "2-fer" at the Northpark movie theater.
We saw Rock and Rolla and Zack and Miri.

The election was yesterday. Obama won. No big surprise there.
It'll be interesting to see what the next 4 years have in store for Americans.

This weekend we are going home, then to Lubbock to watch Oklahoma State battle it out in Jones Stadium. It should be an excellent game with Tech as #2 and OSU as #9! GO POKES!
