Christmas with our Louisiana Family...

Christmas 2008 and New Years 2009

My highlights from the past 2 weeks:

Merry Christmas

Jeff and I decided last year that we would start a tradition of having our "Christmas" together one night before we left to go visit family. We thought this would be good way to enjoy our own time together and it will be good once kiddos start coming around. So this year I got Jeff a few small little things that he mentioned he wanted for around the house. I was told not to get him anything big or expensive because we dont want to spend a lot this year. So I didn't. I got him a rake, some garden tools, a book that he was really wanting to read, some salt and pepper shakers (because he is obsessed with the consistency of pepper on his food... don't ask!), and I got him one of those old time sleeping hats because he has always said that he wanted one. So then it was my turn to open. Keep in mind that I did not think I was going to be opening anything because I bought what I thought was my Christmas present a long time ago; a porcelain Santa Clause for my decor collection. Anyways, So i found a gift under the tree for me and it was the book "Multiple Blessings" by Jon and Kate Gosslin. I am obsessed with the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" so I was thrilled to get this book. I can't wait to start reading it!
Anyways, a few minutes later, Jeff said "Santa also fills stockings, too." Of course, I gave him a look like, "What did you do??" Sure enough, he brought me an ITOUCH!!!! I am soooo excited! I spent the rest of the night playing with it and getting it all set up. The only catch is that we are going to be forced to fix our wireless internet now. Darn! haha.
Thank you jeff, for such a wonderful gift! Only, now I feel really bad because I just got him a few little things. I will get him back, don't worry! :)

The Price is RIGHT!

Literally!
So those of you who know me know that some of the shows and movies that are my favorite are a bit on the "quirky" side. The Price is Right just happens to be one of these. I have always wanted to go on the show, but since Drew Carrey has taken over, it has never been the same. We miss you Bob!
That being said, This guy, not only bid on the nose for his initial prize that got him to be a contestant, but also on the freaking SHOWCASE! The one day that I miss watching it, this is what happens! Congrats, guy who everyone in America is jealous of!

Season 5 Premiere!

January 21, 2009... Be there!

"TV Guide reported this week that Josh Holloway and his wife Yessica are expecting their first child. The "Lost" hunk was spotted in Hawaii Wednesday shooting a fragrance commercial."

I have to brag about the fact that is wife's name is "Yessica". It's a bit close to "Jessica", don't you think?? haha I am a nerd, I know!

Baby It's Cold Outside....

Thursday morning had to of been one of the best in a long time! I woke up at 6am with Jeff and was waiting for him to get out of the shower and asked, "Hey! Is it snowing?" The day before the news had said that we should expect some flurries, but when we opened the blinds, we were shocked to see a BLIZZARD! Holy cow! It was beautiful! I have to say, that it is much prettier from my warm bed, but of course, I jumped out and put some clothes on and ran outside. Jeff was like a little boy. He had not seen snow like this except for in the Colorado mountains!
I went over and played with Tish and the kids all morning. We built a snowman, made snow angels, and I even made some Snow Milk (the kids were not too sure about this one, but I assured them that it just tasted like a milkshake). Jeff could not make it out of the neighborhood to get to work, so he came back home and played with us too!
Jeff and I built a big snowman in our front yard and put Jeff's cowboy hat on him and named him Boudroux! haha. We lost power at about 8am so we took some naps, read, and I got to work on my painting! What a wonderful day!
It is so great when God gives you these days to step back, stop what you are doing, and enjoy the simple things in life. It is like he is forcing you to stop in your tracks, look around, and realize who is in control! I miss Thursday already, but like I have always said, snow is fun once a year, but it would not be as special or a surprise if we had it all the time. Thank you Lord for such a wonderful day this week! :)
