Decorations to the Curb!!!

Today we took down all the Christmas decorations and cleaned up the house. Josh worked on a new wedding album he is promoting and I did house work. I enjoyed a nap this afternoon. So today I started back on my diet. I had been doing so good until I sampled Grandma's cooking. Josh "started" today. We will see how that goes. I exercised tonight while he watched a movie. More updates to come on the diet...............

Merry Christmas!!

Josh and his parents. After enjoying two days in Greensboro with my family. We headed home Sunday night to enjoy a great time with Josh's parents.

Mom's sister Debbie is on the left and her daughter Kim is on the right.

After enjoying good food and family fun we headed over to my other grandma's house in Thomasville. By the time we got there grandma was full and ready for a nap.

Josh relaxing after eating lots and lots of food. Grandma is the best cook!!!

Dad and Josh

Josh and I had a great Christmas. It was our first Christmas in our new home. We exchanged gifts from each other Friday night. We went ahead and exchanged gifts b/c we were going to Greensboro Saturday morning. We both got lots of goodies. We had a good time exchanging gifts. Saturday morning we got up and went to church for a candlelight service and then began our journey to Greensboro. We stopped at our favorite place to eat in Chapel Hill-----Cosmic Cantenna----best burritos in the world. You should try it sometime. We enjoyed seeing both sets of my grandparents Christmas Eve night. Christmas day we got up and enjoyed service with my dad's parents in Kernersville.

Christmas #2

We enjoyed Christmas tonight with my dad. We had lots of food and opened gifts. We enjoyed watching Anna and Kara Heath's twin girls. They are the sweetest babies and are the joy of our family.

How sweet.....
Debbie turning off the phone that Kara carried around all night. Someone finally decided to unplug it after she kept calling dad's cell phone.

Jessica and Seth
Dad bought the girls 58 barney tapes for Christmas. He purchased them off of e-bay. As you can see they love barney.

They got Barbie bikes from Dad. They enjoyed putting objects in the seat.
They are adorable .

Christmas #1

On Saturday I enjoyed a wonderful time with John and Mom. We had lots of food and opened presents. My grandmother was here from Greensboro. I enjoyed having her here so much. It was like old times. Mom cooked lots of food and had the house decorated beautiful. I didn't have the camera because Josh was in Georgia with it. We had a great time.

Road Trip

Josh, his dad, brother, papa, and Elic went on a road trip last weekend to Savannah, Georgia. They enjoyed hanging out in his papa's new RV and exploring the World War II museum. Josh had a lot of fun hanging out with the boys.

All the guys posing for the camera.

Locked Out of the House

This weekend Josh and I stayed up late Friday night working on various tasks. I completed my monthly paper work while enjoying Christmas movies on Lifetime. Josh worked on a video project for church. After getting much needed rest Saturday we finished decorating the house for Christmas. Sunday, we enjoyed lunch for Jessica's 20th birthday. Soon to find out that Josh locked the keys in the honda. Therefore, we had to break into the house through the bathroom window. Josh volunteered to climb into the window. In the meantime, I held his legs up to ease him into the window. I bet our neighbors think we are crazy. Macy stood there looking at him. She is so bright!!!! For those interested you can ask Josh what he found out once he got into the house....... We then went to Lowe's to get copies made of our car keys and house keys to give to every relative. To keep that from happening again. The weekend's just go by so quickly.

Happy Thanksgiving

The finished product....

The guys enjoying some leftovers from Thanksgiving lunch.

Macy is patiently waiting for Jared to finsh the lights.

Josh is putting the lights on the tree while Jared finds something to watch on tv.

Today, we attempted decorating the house for Christmas but didn't get very far. Everything is still in boxes. Instead, we found ourselves napping and watching movies. Macy enjoyed a bone but ended up sleeping as well.

There is a great story behind this piano. Josh found it on the side of the road on his way back to work one day. He and the guy that was throwing it away pushed it to the bank in downtown Rocky Mount. He left it in the breakroom until he and his grandfather could bring it home.

Here are some pics of our new house. It was built in 1948 and we are in the process of bringing it up to date. It's been a lot of work so far.



more to come...

Welcome to our blog. This post is dedicated to the newest member of our family -- Macy. She is a one-year-old Springer Spaniel, and we love her (except when she ate the kitchen rug last week).
