Happy Thanksgiving 2012!

Happy Thanksgiving 2012! We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with Jeremy's side of the family here in Bamberg. Jeremy actually made an Apple Spice cake all by himself (with icing!) and it was fantastic! And he told me he couldn't cook for all those years.... I know better now. haha. 

way too early...but at least he has his monkey mug!

haha...Jeremy's so half asleep. I love that face!

The beautiful table

These were used as soup bowls! How cool is that?

My Beautiful Flower Arrangement. I did it all by myself.

We Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day! Now it's time to switch gears into Christmas! I know! Can you believe it's that time already!! What happened to 2012?

Anniversary Part 2

On Monday Jeremy had flowers sent to my office! Aren't they pretty? All my co-workers were jealous. lol. They told Jeremy that he could send flowers every week. haha  

After work, Jeremy and I exchanged presents. Jeremy picked his own bag. We went with the traditional route and exchanged "paper" presents.

I found this idea on pinterest and just knew I had to make one for Jeremy. He LOVED it!

I also had to make him a little puzzle

Jeremy bought me authentic 1920s Dennison Halloween Cut Outs in their original packaging! How AWESOME!!

We are too cute!

Mama Fudge made us dinner on Monday too! We had green beans, dirty rice, "crack" chicken (chicken wrapped in bacon and chipped beef in a cream of mushroom soup sauce), rolls, and derby pie for dessert.

Mama Fudge gave us some more of our wedding china

She put a cute Valentine's wreath that lit up

And we got to use real china and silver. It was wonderful!!!

Jeremy has a super exciting secret weekend vacation planned this weekend! We are leaving right after I get off work tomorrow! I can't Wait!!!!!

A Year Ago Today

On this day last year I got to do something amazing that changed my life forever... I got to marry my best friend. We have been through so much this year but that has just reassured me that we can weather any storm as long as we are together. Jeremy is best thing that ever happened to me and I am so happy to call him my husband.

Happy One Year Anniversary Jeremy!

One Year Anniversary Part 1

Today Mama Fudge took us to Columbia to have brunch at Bonefish Grill to celebrate our One Year Anniversary! Our actual anniversary is tomorrow but I still can't believe it has been a whole year since that happy wonderful day!

Tomorrow we are going to exchange gifts and Mama Fudge is going to make us a special Anniversary Dinner. Can't Wait!

Craft Weekend with Mom

Mom and I had a crafty Saturday this weekend and it was so much fun! Here are some of the highlights of what we did: 

First we did a little shopping and had to go and model some Halloween Hats.   

Then we came back to Mom's house and to her NEW and AWESOME craft room to get to work!

She has so much more space for all her supplies! So jealous

She's so happy with her new room!

Our first project came from the "Artful Halloween" book by Susan Wasinger.She has this awesome tutorial on how to make spiders out of buttons and wire. They are going to be perfect for Halloween!

My Spiders

Mom's Spiders

Ahhhhhhh! There's a Spider on me!!!

After the Halloween Decorations we turned to Christmas.This idea came out of the "Holiday Crafts" Magazine we picked up at our local bookstore.

Here is the picture out of the magazine.

Here are Mom's creations. Aren't they adorable????

I Love our craft weekends! I can't wait till the next one! And yes we are such dorks... not only did we spend an entire Saturday crafting and goofing around but we watched awesomely bad "b" horror movies while we did it! Our movie marathon included: My Name is Bruce, Love at First Bite and Monster Squad. It was great!! I LOVE my Mother so much!!!!!!

A Senior Moment....

This happened a few years ago, but I still laugh every time I walk down the yogurt isle in the grocery store. A few years ago my Dad was on a big yogurt kick. Eating healthy, lots of yogurt, blah blah blah. So one day we were in the grocery store and all of a sudden my Mom started busting out laughing. Apparently my Dad was looking at the yogurt selection and said "Oh look. nosugaradded 

(pronounced nah-soor-grah-dead), must be a new kind of Greek Yogurt".

Wow, No Sugar Added, Dad. Now I can't look at Yogurt and not smile.

Jamie's a College Graduate!

WOOOOOOT!! My Little Brother Jamie is now a College Graduate from USC! I am so proud of him! He had already graduated from the USC Culinary school earlier and on Saturday he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Hospitality. Yay Jamie!! 

Look at all the people! There were more people sitting in the audience than there were graduating, lol.

Yay Jamie!
