Haley is engaged!

So I know it's like 6 months late, but better late then never! The day he did it, Holly was supposed to be having a shower. Bretton asked Haley to go to lunch with him to Buffalo Wild Wings. Prior to the visit, he told the waitress to give terrible service. While they were waiting, Haley started getting really anxious. Eventually they left Buffalo Wild Wings and Bretton took her to a prayer shack that his fraternity has. Haley walked in and there were candles and music playing! He proposed and she said yes. Love it! Here are some precious engagment pictures!

New Floors!

Jerry and I decided to put in new floors! I love them! We got our friend Chris to help us put them in. They look amazing! Here are some pictures!



Me cutting some of the wood!






Beautiful!
The floors have made such a difference! I can't wait to move in! Jerry and I just bought new furniture so stay tuned! We're having it delivered June 6th. I can't wait!

Count down to the wedding: 2 months and 25 days! YAY!

Registering

We are finally registered! We registered at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond on Sunday and Crate and Barrell on Monday. It was so much fun! Jerry scanned some pretty random things and he wandered off a few times with the scanner. So if you see anything like dryer balls that was not me...talk to Jerry about that one. Here's a picure of Jerry trying to scan video games

Our new patio

On Saturday Jerry and I went shopping for patio furniture. After a long day of shopping we found the perfect set at Home Depot. Here are some pre and post pictures.

Cotton Bowl

I know Texas Tech did not win the Cotton Bowl, but it was a really good time...until we lost. Here are some pictures.








Post game-- very sunburn. It was a very sunny day!

Jerry's Perfect Christmas Gift

This year, Jerry truly out did himself! He got me tickets to 4 musicals!!! It was the perfect gift! He also got me the soundtrack to Legally Blonde the musical (so I could sing along at the show), the Rent soundtrack (NO DAY BUT TODAY!), Garden state Soundtrack (one of the most amazing soundtracks of all time), and Scrubs soundtrack (soundtrack high five!) I'm looking forward to Rent the most, the lyrics are absolutely amazing.

Santa Fe

For Christmas we went to Santa Fe with Jerry's family. It was so much fun! We stayed on the Glorieta camp grounds in a lodge. The lodge was perfect, it had 8 rooms and 4 bathrooms and was a perfect fit for us.

We arrived on Saturday around lunch time. We ate lunch and then walked around the town square in Santa Fe. I love Santa Fe, it's so different from any other place. One time we walked into this store that sold very expensive jackets, next thing I know there is this beautiful Great Dane in the store just hanging out! I wish I could do that with Lucy and Rowdy... yeah right, she would destroy the store. Then we went to the Loretto Chapel where they had this amazing staircase. It was so beautiful.
After shopping, we went back to John and Susan's house and did Christmas and ate Gumbo.

On Sunday we woke up to an amazing breakfast prepared by Deanie and Granny. Later me, Jerry, John (Jerry's uncle), Susan (Jerry's aunt), Holly (Jerry's cousin), Drew (Holly's fiance), Haley (Jerry's cousin), and Bretton (Haley's boyfriend) went skiing. I usually snow board, but I wanted to try something new so I took an all day ski lesson. I like skiing, you don't fall near as much, but when you do fall it's so hard to get up. Everyone else stayed back and went sledding, including George!


After skiing all day, we came home and played a game where we split up into 3 groups and were asked questions about the family. My favorite question was about the Christmas Adam Party and the "Who said 'Are you naked' when they were 8 years old to random people in a hot tub thinking they were family members." Apparently, when Jerry was 8 he watched these music videos by Ray Stevens. One video called "It's Me Again Margaret" had a line that said, "Are you naked." Later, he thought his family was in the hot tub at a hotel and said, "Are you naked." I love hearing these funny stories about Jerry. Later that night we went into Santa Fe and looked at all the lights.



On Monday we went and bought shoes at John's store, the Running Hub. By that time, we had to catch a plane to go home. Santa Fe is such a unique place, I love it!
