Our B Date

For our B date, we went to The Bees Knees, an antique place in the uptown that we had never been to. We also looked around in Becky's consignment store. We bought the coolest drop leaf table. We have been wanting to get a smaller, round table for our tiny dining area and we thing that this will work perfectly. It can be small with the leafs dropped down when not in use and big for meals or games with the leafs up. We also had burgers at Burger King.

Winter Storm Jan 2012

Playing in the snow/ice storm. January 2012

This was a coold wintry week for us here in Richland. About 7 inches of snow PLUS freezing rain on top of that. Have had the whole family home for a couple days but poor Matt has to work all night in this frrezing cold/rain :( I feel so bad for him, but I guess it prepares him for real life. Hope everyone else is staying safe and warm!

ABC Date

We are participating in an ABC dating group with some good friends of ours. This was our first one (letter A). We had lunch at the Atomic Ale. We had never been there before and probably wouldn't have gone if it hadn't been for the ABC dates. We had yummy tortellini w/pesto and roasted red peppers and a honey wheat garlic roll, and lemon pepper chicken w/ veggies.

Then we went Bowling at the Atomic Lanes. We had a great time but haven't been bowling in a loooong time and boy did our scores reflect it!

Time to start planning for the letter B now......

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. We were able to feel the love of Christ, our family, and our friends. We ate too much, of course, so it will be back to the gym for the hubby and I. LOL We shared some incredibly yummy meals and just enjoyed spending the holiday with some of our best friends, which is priceless to us. Its truly a blessing when you have friends that you consider like family, especially when you live away from your families. I don't have any pics to share, unfortunately, but still wanted to share how blessed my family felt.

My Girls

Sisters :)

Emily got her hair cut today and really loves it. It looks good on her. This is just the basic look...we haven't "played" with it yet.

Relief Society Christmas Dinner

I attended the Relief Society Christmas Dinner tonight for my ward and it was very nice. We had super yummy baked potatoes with choice of toppings, salad, rolls, and chili. Everyone brought a dessert to share....it was great! Then we had a christmas program with a story and lots of singing. I really love this ward and everyone in it. Its so full of super talented, loving people who care about each other.
