Day 365 (December 31)

It's New Years Eve!!! I was sick on NYE last year and apparently thought it'd be a good idea to bid farewell to 2009 by being sick again on NYE this year. Might as well stay consistent. Yuck.

Regardless, we had a group of people over tonight. It was quite a random smattering of folks, but way fun!

We played Apples to Apples



Then we played music!



Then... bed time. I am barely coherent enough to publish this, but I had to get it done tonight!

Day 364 (December 30)

Josh, Carrie and I went shopping with Emily B in Southlake today. It was a lot of fun, but I was exhausted when we were done since I am sick with a bad cold.

Josh and I saw this cool shelf thingy for sale in Anthropologie.



I also found my bridesmaid dress from Daniel and Emily's wedding at J Crew Outlet.

It also snowed again today!!! Not much, but still...snow!! I'm loving this!

Day 362 (December 28)

It was Christmas again! Daniel and Emily got back from California and we did the whole Christmas thing again. Here's our family pic!

Day 361 (December 27)

I spent basically the whole day in this chair next to the faux fire (hey, it puts off heat and this house is FREEZING!)

Day 360 (December 26)

We did a little shopping. On our way to Walmart, I was saying how I remembered driving down Randol Mill years ago and thinking the Ballpark looked so big.. now, it is majorly dwarfed by Jerry World. It's crazy

Day 359 (December 25)

A white Christmas!!! Yes, this totally counts in Texas!

Day 358 (December 24)

I got snow on my birthday!!!! A first!!!


Day 357 (December 23)

Modeling the apron I made for my mother-in-law! My first sewing project where I actually mostly used a pattern!

Day 356 (December 22)

Tonight we met Emily for dinner at Olive Garden. Yummy!

Day 355 (December 21)

We didn't do much tonight and unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a picture of anything. We did have angel chicken pasta for dinner though (one of our faves!) so um, here's a stock photo. Oops..


Day 354 (December 20)

Fruzin's Christmas party!! These are some of my FAVORITE people ever!

This is some of the Fruzins plus a few extras. We were missing Blake and his wife Ashley and Daniel and Emily.

Day 353 (December 19)

I had the honor of taking pictures of our friends Adam and Deren. This one cracks me up...check out her pup's face...

Day 352 (December 18)

We went to Beautiful Feet tonight for Secret Agent Christmas. It was awesome! We dropped off gifts to a sweet (large!) family. We girls made the guys cuddle in the front seat of the truck.

Jimmy, Brand, and Josh


Me, Dixie, and Marissa

Day 351 (December 17)

I spent the evening whipping up some tags for work gifts. I had to take a picture with my phone, hence the crappy quality

Day 350 (December 16)

Messing with Juliet. She didn't really care too much since she was in her nest.

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

Day 349 (December 15)

We finally got caught up on The Office! Parts of the episode were hilarious as usual, but parts of it really rubbed me the wrong way.

Day 348 (December 14)

Still plugging away on Christmas cards. Finally started addressing some of them

Sunday, December 13, 2009

Day 347 (December 13)

More work on Daniel and Emily's house. They had a painting party and got a lot done! We went over and checked it out.
Dad thought it'd be fun to taste the paint.

Day 346 (December 12)

Josh's company Christmas party was tonight. FAJITAS!!!

Day 345 (December 11)

So many Christmas cards to make, so little time! I worked on mine for a bit while we watched Public Enemies (great movie, by the way)

Day 344 (December 10)

More work on Daniel and Emily's house! They got the floors sanded and got the polyurethane down in a few rooms. This is the front living room. It looks a millions times better!

Day 343 (December 9)

This is a game called "Find the Juliet"
You can just barely see her buried down in the wreaths!

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Day 342 (December 8)

Daniel and Emily closed on their house today! We went over tonight to see it for the first time. It is a maaaajor fixer-upper, but it has a ton of potential! They're going to have a lot of fun working on it!
They're grossed out in the kitchen :)

Day 340 (December 6)

These are some of the coolest chicks ever! Our small group (minus Emily and plus Santa in the background)

Jodie, Caroline, me, Dixie, Kari, Brenda, Georgeanne



When I got home, we got to see the Clarks! Emily is getting married and was in town with her fiance, Michael, and his family and we got to hang out with them for a bit. Emily and Anna have always been like extra little sisters to me! Emily is a stylist in California and Anna is in the Air Force. I just love them and miss seeing them!

This is me, Emily, Carrie, and Anna. (and Dad!)


After looking at these pictures, I realize that I seriously need to hire Emily to come and style me!

Day 339 (December 5)

This weekend is the McKinney Women's Retreat in Glen Rose. We had a few hours of free time on Sat so a couple of us went to Granbury to do, what else...shopping!



This is me, Caroline, Kari, Emily, and Georgeanne

Day 338 (December 4)

They put a bunch of these big things down the basement hallway at work. They're taller than they look in the picture. They kinda freak me out.

Day 337 (December 3)

Daniel and one of the accordions... Yikes!!

Day 336 (December 2)

We woke up to SNOW this morning!!! It didn't stick, but it sure was pretty coming down! Sadly, by noonish the sun was peeking out. We have another chance of snow this coming Friday!

Day 335 (December 1)

How can it already be December?!

Day 334 (November 30)

Possible elevation of our possible house

Day 333 (November 29)

My parents' cats all three LOVE Christmas wreaths. They all curl up in them like they're nests, attack them, hide in them, etc. It's quite humorous to watch! But, there are now 4 wreaths tossed on random floors throughout the house!

Here's Hobbes in his nest

Day 332 (November 28)

Pulled down a bunch of my parents' Christmas decorations. Love it! We still haven't located the Hairy Fairy yet, but I'm sure she's around somewhere

Day 331 (November 27)

Daniel, Carrie, and I were in line at Old Navy at 3:30 AM on Friday morning. We hit quite a few stores, but in reality, we bought very little. I've decided if you're not getting a big ticket item, it's not really worth it to get up super early. We had fun though! Later in the afternoon, Josh and I went and looked at some cars. We aren't looking to buy one right now, but it's always fun to look.


This guy was chasing his little girl in one of the dealerships. He was doing the whole "Sloooowly I turn.... Step by step...inch by inch..." bit.The little girl was squealing. So cute!

Day 330 (November 26)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We went down to Josh's parent's house for the afternoon then dropped by Nana's for leftovers and Aggie football!



Mmm....Cherry pie!

Day 329 (November 25)

Somehow, Josh had never been to Candlelight Inn to eat. We remedied that situation. It was wonderful as expected!

Day 328 (November 24)

Dinner was a major success! I tried two new recipes which were both awesome! Even Dad said it was good!

Day 327 (November 23)

Dad painting the trim on Daniel and Emily's soon-to-be-house by flashlight.

Day 326 (November 22)

Made some yummy bread!

Day 325 (November 21)

Mom and I took pictures of Charlotte, our resident barn spider. Carrie HATES spiders so I took one of the closeup pics and set it as her laptop background while she was at work!

Day 324 (November 20)

I needed a super quick card for something. I'm not to thrilled with how this turned out at all, but it'll do!

Day 323 (November 19)

I got to mess around with my Cricut and some card making stuff. Sadly, I have no idea where 98% of my stuff is so I'm severely limited on my creativity which is why this looks crappy.
