Merry Christmas!

November, where did you go?

Mine and Addison's November was nothing short of hectic and crazy. We feel like we are ALWAYS going which can be a little much at times. We're grateful thought that we have ability to go all the time now because we know that one day we won't have that luxury. There are so many things that have gone on this month...I will start with the day Addison got his Aggie Ring! I think I was more excited than he was! He has had an extremely tiring semester with work and school. The week of the getting his ring he had tests and projects due and didn't really even have time to think about getting his ring. However, when the day finally came his excitement rose to the occasion and the rings looks awesome!

I am one proud wife! It is such an accomplishment to get your Aggie Ring. 9 more months until I get mine! After getting his ring we went to his sister, Misty's house for barbeque and then headed to the "Westover House" (Addison's old house which his parents own) and it was time to "dunk" the rings! If you're not familiar with this you put your new Aggie Ring in the bottom of a pitcher, fill  it with your drink of choice and chug it. Whoever chugs the fastest wins. Not one of the most wholesome traditions but it's pretty fun for the spectators...

On Saturday my parents and Addison and I went to celebrate at The Republic.

A week later we went home for Thanksgiving. We spent some time at Addison's family house and also went to my MawMaw's house. We tried to see everyone before we went to the ranch Friday-Sunday. I love this tradition of going to the ranch the day after Thanksgiving and this year we not only had Laney but Parker and Brooks too! They have all added so much fun to our holidays, I can't wait until we all start having more kiddos!

This past week Caitlin Blair came to College Station to visit. We have been friends since we were really little and also did cheerleading together in High School. I was so happy to see her and hang out with my girls for a night!!

Last but not least.....ANNALEE is here! Addison's sister, Ashlee and her husband Dallas had their sweet baby girl Friday morning. She is so precious words cannot even explain. 

I might be getting a little baby fever.....ok maybe a lot. I have to keep reminding myself that I have another year left of school and I also want a few more years to enjoy being married to my best friend without children. We never know God's plan for us though, so don't mark my words. :) I am definitely going to be spoiling this little girl and loving her like she's my own!

Congrats Ashlee and Dallas, Annalee is a lucky girl to have y'all as her parents. 

Lately

I have been a little behind on blogging but you haven't missed much! Last weekend (the 28th-30th) I went home because Addison had a work "off-site." His work usually goes out of town for these but they actually stayed in College Station this time. They catch up on business and see everyone from all the different stores. My parents were also on their way back from the Dominican so I got to stay with Keri, J and the kids for a couple of nights. I got some cute pictures while we were there. 

They have some kitties, so we played with them a lot!

Cutest Minney Mouse I've ever seen! 

I got the kids all an A&M shirt :)

When I got back to College Station, Addison and I started back up our busy week with school and work. Addison is basically in his last big semester so he is super busy with school right now. He spends a lot of his time at the library and gets very little sleep. We are very ready for this semester to be over! I was sick last week with a bad...cold? I don't know what it was because I didn't go to the doctor, but it was no fun. However, knowing that I was getting to go home again on Thursday was pushing me through! I had a test on Thursday that I dragged myself to and Addison had to do about the same for his test. 

We finally got to go home together on Thursday! My mom and I went to the Christmas Carousel Style Show on Friday, it was fun since I hadn't been in years. We also went shopping and saw a lot friends in the process. On Saturday we got to go to my little cousins 2nd birthday party! I can't how fast she is growing. We had such a great weekend and can't wait to be in Abilene for good! 

Now, ofcourse, we are already in bed about to go to sleep, getting ready for the week ahead. I will put up some pictures soon of our apartment for those who can't make it down here to visit! We pray you have a blessed week!

Moments like this...

I had such an eventful weekend! I say "I" because Addison had to work all weekend. :(  The weekend started off with going to Katy on Friday to stay with Addison's family. I love how I can just pick and go stay with my in-law's by myself and feel completely comfortable. I am so blessed by all of them. Friday night we decorated for my Ashlee's baby shower that was happening the following day. I forgot to take pictures of the decorations but everything turned out very cute! Saturday we got ready for the shower to begin! It's funny how I've only been married two and half months but I was already missing Addison so much. It makes me realize how blessed I am to have him and how much he means to me. (he was back in College Station) The shower turned out so wonderful. Ashlee had family and friends there to shower her and Annalee with love and gifts. 

 After the shower Lauren picked me up and we headed to the U of H football game. It was so  much fun, and Case did awesome! 

On Sunday , Addison and I went to church as usual and then baked a little bit. We gathered up all 

my silver, took a little nap and then headed over to Lauren's house where everyone was waiting! The anticipation was killing me...I couldn't wait to see her!! Kate (Lauren's roommate) did such an amazing job decorating  their backyard for the engagement party. Everything looked so beautiful.

 I was very happy to be apart of this special day.

Showing off her new bling!! Congrats Lauren!!!

What a wonderful weekend! We hope you have a blessed week!
