Updates and All..

Let me first and foremost start out by saying that I have spent the past hour of my life making a new Christmas header for the blog. Well, a solid hour later my computer froze, I forgot to save the header, and I lost every bit of it! Thank you Scrapblog! I'm currently using this header from last year until I can re-create the one in which I started.
On another note, I haven't blogged in quite a while! Believe it or not, I've been keeping pretty busy. I was in Starkville all of last weekend for the Alabama game and we had an absolute amazing time! It was so good to catch up with old friends! I have a couple of pictures from the weekend and cannot seem to get them off of my camera onto my computer! I would have to say that the highlight of Saturday was seeing all of the Alabama attire. Gosh, I wish I could have taken pictures of all of the GREAT Houndstooth slacks that I saw. This past Monday, I helped decorate my dad's store for Christmas; it turned out to be a lot of fun and I learned quite a bit! I have been working on two wreaths to go on the front doors. I have completed one and should finish the other one first thing in the morning! I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this past week substitute teaching! I had one second grade class and two different first grade classes; the kids were good and it was lots of fun! I spent all of this weekend in Meridian, and I must admit that I didn't really know what to do with all of this free time! I can't recall the last time I was in town for the weekend! I was supposed to go to Little Rock but having to work on Friday put a damper on those plans.

I bet you would NEVER guess what I did last night??

That's right, I sat in on a Saturday night and put up my Christmas tree. I must admit that I am WAY overdue for a new Christmas tree; I really considered purchasing a new one this year but job permitting that didn't happen. Well, I began putting the tree up last night and realized that somehow I have lost all of my lights, ALL of my ornaments, and a branch off of the tree. Cute tree, huh? Well, my friends, lets just say that my Christmas tree is lacking significantly! Hopefully we can fix that problem shortly! Until then, I shall have a bare Christmas tree :(

Sometime within the last week a new craft store opened in Meridian; for all of you who live here know that it is a pretty big deal to have a new store open in town. I took a trip one day last week and thought that I was in heaven! Can I please tell you that this store TWO cake isles?! And not to mention many scrapbooking supplies! I didn't even talk about the fabric...it takes up half of the store! Too bad I'm not in college anymore. Last year, it seemed as if I was ALWAYS needing fabric for toga parties and what not, and Starkville was the only city in the surrounding area to have a slim selection of fabrics. Well, not anymore! I think I could have spent a few days and quite a bit of money in there! I must admit, it wasn't nearly as good as Hobby Lobby but it will suffice for the time being!

And onto Turkey Day....the Arkansas Vons will be arriving on Tuesday and I absolutely could not be more excited! I haven't seen Riley and Matt since the wedding last May and I cannot wait to catch up! I don't think that Tuesday could come soon enough!
