The Best Birthday Present Ever!!

Two years ago, on June 28, 2008, I received the best present ever for my birthday. My husband, Tyler, asked me to marry him. Thinking back to that day I can remember him driving us out to the lake that Saturday evening, and me thinking "Where in the world are we going?". I thought he was throwing me a surprise birthday party (which, FYI- after we ate dinner, we went back to his apartment and a bunch of our friends were there to celebrate our engagement with us!).

It was a wonderful and unforgettable evening.

Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

Our house covered in snow!
Bear didn't like the snow very much!

We have had so much snow here in Alabama lately. A few weeks ago, I got to have a snow day and spent the day at home watching the beautiful snow fall. We got like three inches of snow here in Birmingham and it was so wonderful! I love the sound snow makes when it falls-it makes a light crunching sound. When you stand outside in the snow and watch it fall, everything seems so quiet and so serene.

Tyler and I had so much fun when he got home from work. We stayed outside forever throwing snowballs, playing with bear, and we even made a snowman! It was a great day.

Here are some photos from our snow day-

EA Sports Active

I have a goal of being more physically active. Well, since its too cold outside, I don't want to go running. My sweet husband surprised me by getting me the EA sports active fitness program for Wii for me! I was so excited! I've only done it a few times, but its so much fun and you get a good workout as well. There are so many different exercises and sports you can play. It has a preset workouts and you can create your own as well.

I just hope I can keep up the good work, and keep exercising. This is gonna take major motivation!

2009 National Champions!!

Well we did it! The University of Alabama Crimson Tide is the 2009 National Champions! Its been a long time coming! ROLL TIDE!

Gearing up for the new year

Well, its a brand new year and a new decade! Christmas was wonderful. Tyler and I enjoyed spending time together and with our families this holiday season. It seems Christmas came and went so fast! 2009 was an amazing year. I think the most memorable moment of 2009 was marrying Tyler in May, and beginning our journey together as husband and wife. As I begin the new year, I have so many goals and things I want to accomplish this year. Here are some goals of mine for 2010:

1. I want to have a stronger relationship with Christ. I want to spend more time reading his word and growing closer to him.

2. I want to spend more time practicing the piano. I have been playing since I was 12 years old, and I love to play. Lately though, I haven't had much time to play with school and work going on. God has blessed me with a wonderful gift and I haven't devoted much time to it lately.

3. I only have two semesters left at Alabama (YAY!!). I want to finish school with good grades and a good GPA.

4. I want to travel more. I know I probably won't have much time between all of the classes I have to take, but I would love to go visit my sister in New York City.
