Well, I am about to finally post several pictures. The first pictures that you will see will be from my recent bday and a my first bday. I thought it would be nice to see how much I have grown (ha ha).

Then, I will post some pics from our recent painting extravaganza. Lauren moved to a new salon, so we had the privilege of painting her new room. We had a lot of fun with this!

Then I am going to post some pics that will give you a good idea of why I am often laughing so hard that my stomach hurts when Chris and I get together. Last Oct. we went to Gardenridge to pick up a few things. Well, since it was around Halloween, they had several costume type things in the store and so Chris and I had a lot of fun and were able to capture some of it on camera. So enjoy...

Happy Birthday to me! Chris and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for my bday, and this is the Godiva cheesecake all for me! It was very good.

Tis is me on my first birthday. Arent we all glad that I was able to learn to use a fork.

We were very glad that Chris volunteered to get on the ladder. He was the master painter!

Angela working hard. She did a great job seeing as this was her first time to paint.

Lauren taking a break

Hey! Get back to work!

Hail to the King!

Eat more chicken!

Well, I have been sick AGAIN...just in time for Valentine's Day. I started feeling really bad last Wednesday and my fever got up to around 103. So, I stayed home in the bed pretty much all day Thursday through Sunday. I did tough it out on Thursday night to go on mine and Chris' Valentine's Day date. He did SOO good, so I didnt want to miss it. We went to a really nice, romantic restaraunt in Dallas ( I couldnt eat because I was so sick, but Chris said it was good), then Chris took me to hear the Dallas Symphony play Romeo and Juliet. It was really beautiful, but I only lasted through one song. Chris was very sweet to me while I was sick. Such a good boyfriend!!

Well, today is my birthday. I again managed to crawl out of my sick stupor on Saturday night to eat dinner with some friends for my birthday. The pic is below. Thanks to my girls, Angela and Lauren, I had a birthday cake last night...homemade!! Chris and I will be going to the Cheesecake Factory for my b-day, so more pics to come soon.

Angela, Lauren, Chris, Jeff, Spring, and me outside the Keg for mine and Angela's bday celebration!!

Well, I returned from my whirlwind trip on Sunday. I flew from DFW to Chicago and then to Chattanooga on Friday night. I stayed with my dad that night and then drove to Athens on Saturday in order to see my best friend from High School get married. Candice and I were very good friends in High School as we were very active in our youth group at church. I owe my love for Auburn to her as I went to my first Auburn game with her family. She and I were roommates for a freshman year of college. She got married this past weekend to what seems to be a really great guy. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from the wedding. I am however going to post some "oldie" pictures of me. I have a project that I am working on for one of my classes and I have to create an album of family pics from my life. So, when I was home for Christmas, I scanned a bunch of pictures of me when I was younger. Below are two of the many that I plan to share with you all.

"Ta Da!!" This is me in what I believe to be an outfit from Germany. My mother was a world traveler, so I had many outfits from other countries

This was my dress for my first wedding that I was in. I was a flower girl in the wedding of one of my babysitters.
