One thing I forgot to mention during our very productive weekend was the fact that my dear, sweet, handsome husband stayed up 'till 3 AM organizing the laundry room and "wedding room" as we have dubbed the catch-all room of wedding gifts, decor, scrapbook, memorabilia, etc. He said he knew I'd like to have it in order for the family coming over the next day. Then, on the way home from church, I asked if he could clean off the front porch, but NO, he had already done that in the wee hours of the morning as well! Sometimes his insomnia is a blessing. This morning, Walker, my 5-year-old nephew, sang with his fellow kindergartners at the mall, so naturally, Dad and I skipped work to go see him. One of his sweet classmates handed me a Christmas card that he had colored. I don't know this child from Adam, but he must've thought I needed Jesus. He was right.  Courtney is such a trooper! Walking around the mall looking as cute as a button pushing a ...

If you feel like you're weekend was unproductive and are kicking yourself for it this morning,  then this blog will not make you feel any better. Matt & I have been busy little beavers ever since we've gotten married 6 weeks ago. We made a list Friday morning of all the stuff we wanted to get accomplished this weekend,  and I'm proud to say I checked all but one thing off my list! Wrap gifts. Blast. Still have to do that. Thursday, his firm took us to eat at Harrigan's followed by drinks and dessert at the Ziegler's lovely home in Vintage complete with a gift exchagne.  They always give the BEST gifts! Last year I got to pick out the iPod speakers. This year Matt chose an XBox, and despite all my coaxing to the other employees no one bought it from us. I'm incredibly fearful of acquiring a video-game fanatic husband now. Fantasy Football takes up enough time... Then, Friday we had a lovely soup dinner at our friends, the Berrys, ...

(This is a very old picture of me taken by the lovely, Ali Formby. It reminds me of when I had great hair and a best friend who was dating a very bad person. I love this picture.) Yesterday was a very normal day which I was very grateful for. Normal days force me to recount what I did and think of something truly inspirational to blog about. I came up with nothing. Except that I watched the farewell to Meredith Vierra Today show last night. I sat and cried for at least an hour. 1. Because I missed Matt and wasn't going to see him yet again. 2. I have loved MV since the first day she was on Today 5 years ago. 3. Their farewell show to her was incredibly touching. 4. Sometimes I'm just emotional. So, now I must get used to them announcing, "This is TODAY with Matt Lauer and Ann Curry." It'll take time. Oh, and my cousin cleaned my house yesterday. Let's all take a collective SIIIIIIIIIIGH of relief that I don't have to clean this week. Ok, you don't have...
