Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today is a day to reflect on what we have to be grateful for, and I have so much to be thankful for today. The Lord has blessed both Ben and me in ways we could not have imagined. Even though I had to work today, I am so very thankful to have a job I love and awesome co-workers and friends to share this day with. I am thankful for my loving and supportive husband who loves me unconditionally. I am thankful for my loving family who I am able to share laughter and love with, and I am thankful for a wonderful church family. I am also thankful for the memories that I have of sharing the holidays with my closest friends and family. Love to you all!

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever."
1 Chronicles 16:34

Hello Fall!

So... I cannot believe that I have not blogged since September! WOW! Needless to say, things have been pretty hectic for the past few months. I only have about 3 weeks of clinical left this semester and then only 1 more semester to go! Ben has been keeping pretty busy with football as well; in fact, they won their first playoff game last week, so we are heading to Nashville to play DCA this Friday. I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I am loving this time of the year right now and cannot wait to start playing Christmas music. But for now, just a few things that I am loving this season.....

1. Loving my steve madden boots.

2. The leaves changing! Unfortunately, it only lasts for a very short time around here.

3. Bundling up on a cool Friday night to watch some football with great friends!

4. Honey crisp apples! Which you can only get around this time of year. DELISH!!!



That's all for now. Will try my very best to continue posting regularly about our happenings! :)

Happenings....

Ben and I have officially started back to school and work. I had about 4 weeks off between my summer term and my fall term, and may I just say that I thoroughly enjoyed them.
As much as I dont want to start back to school and clinicals, it just means that I am one step closer to graduation= MAY 2012! I cannot believe it is almost here, even though at times it feels so far away! I am also loving the cooler weather that we are having here lately. I hope it is here to stay. As much as I love summertime, I think I love fall even more! Football is here and Starbucks pumpkin spice latte is back tomorrow! What could be better?!?

{I may just have to take a little study break tomorrow for one of these!}

On another note, we had a very restful and relaxing Labor day weekend at home this past weekend. On Friday, I went up to St. George's first home game! And we beat JCS 12-0 :) So we are now 2-1. Saturday I did a little homework, shopping and football watching, and then Ben and I went to one of our favorite restaurants= Jim's Place Grille! It was so yummy and we had a great time together. Sunday, we went to church and then relaxed some more at the house before heading to Soulfish Cafe for dinner. Very fun weekend with my groom! Happy Labor Day Everyone!

Football season is here...

Well, it's that time of year again. That's right, it is time for football season!!! I love this time of year. I love back to school time and the excitement of going to the football game on a Friday night! Even though this time of year is always very busy for us, I do love football season. There is just something about the comradery of the fans and the fellowship with friends while watching some high school football that is worth looking forward to every week! all you football fans out there know what I am talking about!! We are officially 15 days away from kicking of the new season, and I cannot wait! And we are 30 days away from college football season! Life is good :)

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!

Today, Ben and I are celebrating 2 years of marriage today! We both feel so blessed, and we cannot believe that it has already been 2 years! Ben planned the best surprise for me! He told me to pack my bags for the night and to make sure to pack a dress! So,yesterday afternoon we headed downtown and pulled in at the Peabody hotel. I was so excited! Last night, while I was getting ready for dinner, Ben told me the destination for our dinner plans.....FLIGHT! I was so excited to try this new restaurant down on S. Main Street. It was a very interesting restaurant where you get to have three smaller portions of meals, including salads, soups, desserts, and wines! We had a blast! Once we wrapped dinner up, we headed over to the bar inside the Madison hotel (because a wedding reception was going on at the peabody). We stayed for hours just talking and having some great quality time together. It truly was an awesome night celebrating our special day two years ago!

Paint me a Birmingham.....

Last weekend, Ben and I went to Birmingham to visit Anna in her new place! We had such a great time just hanging out and eating some really great food. Birmingham is such a fun city, and Anna was such a great host!

Can't wait for the next trip :)
