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 :)

Pete Yorn Concert and Happy Easter!

Saturday night, Ben and I went to The New Daisy to see Pete Yorn play with some friends. He was so good! It was a great concert and great time to spend with friends. Saturday night, the Grizzlies played their second playoff game against the Spurs and won, the redbirds were playing, and Pete Yorn was playing downtown. Needless to say it was very busy and crowded, but it made me so excited about summer! :)

Then Sunday was Easter! We had so much fun celebrating our wonderful Savior with both of our families! My sister, Anna, was able to come in town, and it was so good to hang out with her! Here are just a few pictures with the Cox Family :)

KJ's engaged!

One of my very best friends from high school and my roommate in college is engaged! I am so happy for both KJ and CC. Ben and I are thrilled for them as they begin this new journey together!
