Nativity

This is my nativity, I recieved the first part last year for my birthday and the three wisemen this year for the same occasion. I must admit I absolutly love this set and can't wait to have my own home to display it in.

MY BIRTHDAY

The birthday Party for Courtney and I at Dad's house. We had a blast, and the cake was great.

we are short one sister, but with finals all done and tucked away for the semester and Christmas approaching so rapidly we will hopefully have another pix up soon with all of us!!

Bowling...

Alex and I went bowling on Saturday with Ant, Matt, Mark, Linea and Alester.

Alex and I are demonstrating how serious this was.
Alex is thinking about how to knock down all the pins



I am trying to intimadate the pins into falling down.








Mark and linea are obviously not in the zone
















By the way, Matt Jew schooled us all!!!!

Jen and I

Oh feel all of the sisterly love... just found this pic from my birthday last year, I must say we make a great team!

Cake topper

made by

willow tree.

not really traditional but we love it

catching up

Well,
we are making headway in wedding plans. I have successfully ordered a dress, booked the place and we bought our cake topper! With the Holidays rapidly approaching Alex is often having to remind me not to break the bank with gifts and such :) I am doing my best to heed his advice.
Alex and I recently took a trip to NYC and i must say it was quite enjoyable even despite the cold, wind and masses of people. The windows that Macy's usually decorates were themed Miracle on 34Th street. They were OK, but definitely a let down from last years. I had an excellent peperment hot chocolate, that I had to trade my peperment white chocolate mocha for because Alex and I liked each others drinks better. It worked well, we both got what we wanted and we didn't even order correctlty :) Well i will try to stay more on top of things.
Enjoy your week and any snow you get!!

Catch up

Hey
so i am way behind and such. Alex went to Kenya and returned to me :)
we recently got engaged and so now i am attempting to figure out hot to plan a wedding!! It will be interesting to say the least. I have decided against returning to my previous college and i am working over the summer with my dad. I am really excited for my niece and little sister who are both starting school soon.
can't wait to see what else turns up

It's like...
Your Favorite pair of Jeans
A Sunshine of a day
Waking up well rested
Having extra time to play
It's the face of love smiling down
It's a wave of gentle peace
Its freedom from you shackles
That feeling of release
It's a shower for your soul
A river flowing to your heart
It's the end of a long journey
It's finding the missing part
It's the triumph of the Victory
Knowing you've now Flown
it's full to over flowing
It's finding you're my home.

but right now

soon it will all be a memory

faded pictures and ticket stubs

a few more stamps in a passport

if i can just make it through

soon it will all be a story

a happily-ever-after tale

that ends hand in hand and skin on skin

so much closer to you

soon it won't affect identity

no more far away stamped across your face

soon our times will be the same

and thoughts of you hold no pain

soon, someday soon

if i can just make it through

mornings will bring me closer, oh so much closer to you

so what i am doing here is....
