2008

Today is the last day of 2008! It has been an amazing year and I am really sad to see it go. So many wonderful things happened this year that will forever leave a mark in life. I married the most amazing man on May 17, 2008. It was honestly the best day of my entire life! Waking up to him every morning has truly been a blessing and spending the rest of our lives together is exciting! So as sad as I am to see 2008 go, there is alot to be excited about for 2009!

Things to look forward to in 2009:

1. Buying a house: both Christopher and I are ready to buy a house. Not only do we lack space where we are but we are ready to be in a nice neighborhood.
2. Getting in shape! I know that everyone says "I'm going to get in shape for my new years resolution." But honestly I am. We just got the P90X and we are ready to get our butts in gear. I want to be healthy and look good at the same time. I have high hopes for this program and I am super motivated!
3. Having our 1 year anniversary! Its really not that far away. Will we still be considered as newlyweds?
4. My best friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law is getting married to Christopher's brother on May 24, 2009. There will be many events beforehand and a wonderful celebration of their love on their special day. I love weddings!
5. Planning a vacation! We are thinking about going back to Mexico again. We had such an amazing time on our honeymoon that it just sounds like the perfect place to be. But we will try a different place just to mix it up a bit and invite another couple to join us to share the fun!
6. Maybe start a family (closer to the end of the year)! We both look forward to having our own little family. We both have baby fever but I think by this time next year we might be ready to make it happen.

There are many more things to look forward to in 2009 but most of all I hope that we are healthy and happy in love! Not only for ourselves but for those that surround us. I hope that everyone has a safe and fun filled New Years!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!

Sick

I have fought getting sick for some time now and it finally got the best of me! So here I am at home, barely able to breathe through my nose and my head feels like it is huge! I am so upset cause we didn't get to go to Livingston today to celebrate xmas with the family. With rain, pine trees and people that might be sick as well, I thought it would be best to stay home and rest.

OK, enough of feeling sorry for myself. I haven't posted in awhile but we had an amazing Christmas! It was great to be with loved ones and share the joy of such a wonderful day. I didn't take any pictures that day :). I can't believe that I didn't even get a picture with my husband but I know that his dad took pictures so I will have to call him.

We had our XXX Xmas Party a few weeks ago and we had an absolute blast! Here are a few pictures from the night:

We had a great time and the pictures were pretty tame. Maybe we will have another one next year!

Well I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the time with their families! Have a safe and Happy New Year! See you in 2009!

Bowling

A few weeks ago Christopher and I went bowling with some friends of ours. We tried to go to the new 300 Bowling Alley off of Bunker Hill but it was an hour and half wait. WHAT?! I was so disappointed cause it looked so cool inside! So we headed to the Dave & Buster's off of I-10 and they too had an hour wait. Must have been the night to bowl. Finally we got a chance to show our skills, or lack thereof. We might not have been that good and they shut down our game at the end of the night but regardless we had a blast!

Hump-day!

YAY, the week is half way over! This has been an extremely crazy week and to top it off I have my review sometime this week, just not sure what day. Wish me luck! So this Friday Chris and I are having our XXX Xmas Party. This will be my first naughty party that I have ever hosted/attended but I am really excited. I have lots of grocery shopping to do and definitely have to clean the house. I got some really great napkins and lots of funny Xmas quotes that I am going to write on the mirrors in the apartment. And even got great shirts for both Chris and I.

So course with having a party, it has given me an excuse to add a few details to the apartment (We really need a house cause we are running out of room)! So I have finally printed up a few of our wedding pictures. I printed 3 16x20 pictures, framed them in simple black frames and lined them up over our bed. It looks amazing and really gives that bold look that I was looking for. Here are the pictures that we used:

I am so happy that it turned out so good. I will take a picture once the room is clean. Like I said I have been super busy and haven't had time to clean...so not me!

Today is Christopher and I's 7 month anniversary. I can't believe how quickly time has passed. It seriously feels like we were just married 3 weeks ago! I still love looking at all of the pictures and especially the video (THANK YOU RUSTY)! It was the most amazing day of our lives and I can remember every detail! The butterflies, the overwhelming feeling of love, and not being able to get my eyes off my new husband! The amazing part is that I still feel that way today! It's and everlasting feeling! Before we know it our 1 year anniversary will be here.

I still have a lot to finish before the party on Friday so I need to get back. I will post the "appropriate" pictures from the party on Sunday for all to see. If you have any game suggestions or ideas please feel free to send them my way! Have a great weekend!!!

xoxo, Danielle
