Thank you Thank you Thank you, Brittney!!!! I love my new header and blog! You are so sweet to do this for me!!! For those who don't know Mrs. Brittney Poe, you must go check out her precious blog and her beautiful family!!! www.thepoefam.blogspot.com
We did it! We made it a whole year! Haha! Brad and I celebrated our first year of marriage in true Texas style, well kind of! We spent Sunday night and Monday day at the Gaylord Texan. Wooooo! It was beautiful and so much fun! We walked the whole place when we got there and just loved it! Then we got all fancy for our dinner at Ama Lur, we were served a cross of Mexican, Sea, and Texas style food. I had Sea Bass and Brad had steak, it was delicious! We headed back to the room where champagne was waiting and... We woke up the next morning to breakfast in bed and watched some TV before we started our day! Grapevine Mills was top on our list with a day full of shopping. We finished our day in true luxury with our couples massage back at the Gaylord. We drove back home and made our way to dinner at Rick's. We were all dressed up and our wedding cake top from a year ago was in hand, but unfortunately Brad was sick. He tried so hard to ignore the pain he was feeling but it was too much. So instead of Rick's I had a Quiznos salad and instead of a Romantic dinner, I nursed my sick baby back to health. High Point of the evening was that we were together and happy! I decided to go ahead and cut into our cake and it was Perfect! Just like I had remembered! Thanks for keeping it fresh in your freezer Margaret! You can finally have your tupperware back! And thanks to all our friends and family that have helped make our first year together so wonderful! Here are a few pics from the weekend!

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh..... Sic 'Em Bears! Go get 'em Russell! Tomorrow is the day that Russell will embark on his first year of Baylor! We are all so Proud! Love ya Russ!
So today after work I took a little walk around the square in downtown McKinney. As I made my way I noticed this little shop called Stonewood Creations. It had a bunch of Texas/Rustic looking stuff in the door/window way and so I decided to go in. I loved what I found... I knew it was a good little place when I saw this little BU magnet! Anyone who has ever tried to buy Baylor paraphernalia knows that it is close to impossible unless you are at the Baylor bookstore! So I am sure you can imagine my excitement to find something in McKinney. The owner does all his own work and does a good job too. After getting to know him I realized his connection to Baylor was actually because he grew up in Waco, when Baylor was a football power house. I told him Brad and I's Baylor blood lines as he led me over to another Baylor original. It was an iron yard post with a BU on top completed with the Baylor Bear. Needless to say I fell in love and it is now standing proud in my front yard! Tom (shop owner) said he does a lot of custom orders, so even if you don't share my love for Baylor I think you will like this little rustic, McKinney, Texas shop! They don't have a website, keeps it authentic, so you will just have to come see for yourself! While your there come see me for lunch at Ricks!
I received a sweet surprise last night when my husband walked in the door. What did he have? Flowers and a card! I felt so special and loved! The card was silly and sweet, just like my wonderful husband! The flowers are beautiful and sitting in our kitchen, they really brighten up the place! Fresh flowers may be come a necessity, haha! That's all really, I just needed to brag on my main man! Thank you baby! I love you so much!!!
Work:
Work is going well. I am ready for fall to come because we are much busier! Thats really all!
So you Think you can Dance:
Brad and I's reality TV show... like some of you, I was shocked that Brad watched it with me... but he was completely mesmorized by the Hip Hoppers and everyone's ability to dance. His Favorite from the beginning won, Joshua, and that made the show all the more great! We also watch American Gladiators and Run's House! Love it!
Olympics:
I can still remember the day in fifth grade when I got to play the olympic song on my recorder over the loud speaker. It was the mark that our field day/olympics had begun. Some events included; egg in the spoon race, arm wrestling (i was really good because I was a gymnast and really strong), cracker whistle contest, 100m dash (also really good at) and several others... anyways, I get super excited every four years when the olympics come around and great memories come back to me from that faithful field day. I start dreaming olympic dreams in my sleep... so far I have swam against Michael Phelps, competed in the all around in gymnastics where I fell off the beam and woke myself up, and have been best friends with the USA mens B-Ball team. I am not really sure whats next but I am feeling a track medal coming on, probably the 4x4. Needless to say I am obsessed. I have stayed up late and recorded as much as my DVR will allow. There is currently an American Flag waving in my living room... I use it during the medal ceremonies and the National Anthem is on repeat in my head. These are definitely my favorite two weeks every four years! Its only 2 if you count the winter games!!! Woo Hoo! USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA!!!!!!!! Tell me your not chanting!
