&&& I love my husband because

I got this email this morning

Me writing you 1.5 years from now

Hey wife,
Our offer on the house below was just accepted. They agreed to $XXX,XXX since it's been on the market 1.5 years. I'm really excited to move in and have a yard! I'm so excited both of our companys are letting us work from Amarillo. Oh yea, don't forget to call my my mom about the symphony guild; you start working with the events committee next month. Also, don't forget to call the moving company about packing and loading our things for us; we need to be leaving by 8:00 a.m. if we want to make it to Amarillo in time to pick up our new used boat. Finally, remember to make a that cinnamon cake for the going-away party being thrown by all of our friends from church and all around dfw that we've made in the last 1.5 years. Oh yea, did you get that link to the news article about Underwood; sucks that got caught for fraud. I almost feel bad that half of them are going to jail and the rest are unemployed.

Is it Christmas yet?

One would think with this 80 degree weather that it was spring time, but no, it's mid-November. Running my air conditioner inside in November is ridiculous! We have an awesome fireplace in our bedroom, which I'm pretty sure will never get use at this rate. HURRY UP Jack Frost... I miss you!

I'm not gonna lie... I am ready for the Holidays. It's true, it is the most wonderful time of the year. I have already scoped out all the Christmas decor at Target and Hobby Lobby & plan on going to Garden Ridge during my lunch break today. For the last 2 weeks I have begged Chris to let me put out our Christmas decorations, but he keeps telling me, "Just wait until after Thanksgiving." He's right & I know better than to decorate before Thanksgiving, but I am so anxious! This is only my second year to get to decorate for the Holidays, so I am pumped.

I'm thinking of adding a twist to my tree this year. I have a large base of gold and red ornaments & want to add some pizzaz to our tree.

Here are my options:
1. leopard accents or

2.LIME GREEN! I am leaning more towards lime green simply because there are more options available.

We shall see....

&&& I love my husband EVEN THOUGH his closet is a wreck 2 weeks after we deep cleaned it...

TeeeVeee

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 :)
