Christmas with family

This year we hosted Christmas with my side of the family at our house in North Carolina. Craig, Tonya, Chris, Nancy, and the kids came from Cincinnati to spend it with us. It went by way too fast, but we had lots of fun. Two! Two! Three! Three! Anyone who has ever played Pit knows what a fast paced, spoon-grabbing blast it is with family. :)
Tearing into our presents!

I'm glad there were some toys to keep the guys entertained. :) Hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas!

Enjoying the weather

We are enjoying the beautiful weather we are having here in NC. I think we may have even hit 80 today. Kendall finished raking all of our leaves (thanks to the trees that surround our property). I helped for maybe 5 minutes. :) This is one week I'm glad I'm working nights so I can be outside during the day.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. This month has flown by. Just thought I would post some pics of what we've been up to. Kendall putting together his birthday present. The finished product in our garage

My friend Shana (with her mother) at her baby shower last Thursday. She is expecting a baby boy sometime around Christmas.

Last night we enjoyed hearing Casting Crowns in concert in Greensboro. We went with Josh, Charity, Joanna and some friends from church. I have never heard much of their music but I am now a huge fan and have added their CD to my Christmas list. :)

Happy 25th Birthday to Kendall

four & hoping for many more

We were married four years ago on October 25, 2003, at Faith Community Chapel in North Carolina. Today, I spent our anniversary sleeping, due to working a 12-hour shift on Wed. night and Kendall is currently working the evening shift. Life as a police officer's wife... :) Don't worry though, we are going to be able to spend some time together this weekend. We are leaving as soon as Kendall gets off work to make our flight to Kansas City for Dana's wedding.
These are a few of my favorite pictures from our wedding. Please excuse my scanning job. :)

Football Friday & pics from Cincinnati

Freezing at a local high school football game. It was one of the first cold nights we have had so far and when it drops from the 90's to the 50's you can sure feel it. :) Kendall was working security there and I went with the Lee's. We had a lot of fun laughing at the rabid fans that were there. Last weekend we made a quick trip to Cincinnati and got to see some of mine and Kendall's family.
