Times are changin'

I thought it was time for an updated look! I hope you all enjoy the new colors!!!

His mercies are new every morning

I saw this beautiful sunrise a couple of days ago. I love sunrises. *I like to go back to sleep after I watch them, but I DO love them!* Notice the sun rays and the shape they take on! :D Also, remember I don't change the colors at all! Isn't it gorgeous?!

That feels good!

So last night, Delia and I decided to have a girl's night. And what else would we do but get our ears pierced?!! That's right, folks! We got our second earring holes!! :D It was so much fun! We had been talking about getting our ears pierced for a while now, and so it was great to finally get it done. We both chose sparkly studs; hers are round and mine are square. And we both love them! Yea! And no, it didn't hurt. I actually wanted to do it again after it was all over! Maybe I'll wait till these heal up first...

Ozzy

I'd like for you all to meet Ozzy. He belongs to my friend Chere'. She picked up this little guy about 3 weeks ago, and he has just snuggled his way into our hearts! He is SO cute and playful, but also enjoys cuddling after all that play. I can't wait to see how his personality develops in the next few months.

Oh, and I'm his godmother! :D

Sunset

I took these pictures almost two weeks ago, but I just had to share them. These photos are NOT edited in any way. The sunset really was this color! It was amazing! I knew you all would enjoy seeing these pics.

Doctor anyone?!

My heart just melted when I saw this picture my sister took! It is of my adorable niece. She and her big sister were playing doctor. Isn't she the cutest?!!

Shogun's

Some of our friends, Jeremy and Eliza treated us to dinner at Shogun's! I couldn't believe it! I had never been, so I was like a little kid watching all the action. Our town just built a new one on top of a little hill that overlooks the city. It's really upscale and posh. Everyone should experience this fun dining at least once! The food was really good, too!

Christmas 2007

Last year at Christmastime, I was sick! But this year, I managed to escape the fever induced ailments. We had a crazy busy day packed full of events. We started out the day by sleeping in. Oh heaven! Then, we began our gift exchange by opening our stockings! This was the first year Delia had ever had a stocking... EVER! So it was especially exciting for her. After the stockings were opened, we moved on to the presents under the tree. Delia got me the boxed set of "Anne of Green Gables"! I've been wanting that for a while, and she actually got it! Daniel's present was the one we were all looking forward to! He got a 32'' widescreen LCD flat panel TV! Let me just tell you that we have all benefited from his long-awaited present. It's absolutely fantastic!

After all the presents were opened, Delia made us breakfast. Complete with eggs, sausage, and this amazing cinnamon croissant thing. Ooo! Yummy!

After breakfast, we went to our friends' family Christmas lunch. Lots of food! They have been great letting us in on their family holiday celebrations! Of course all the kids run around playing after their tummies are filled. One of the kids that actually attends our church was so funny. He put on shoes to go outside and got one of his, and one of his sisters. :D It was so cute!

For dinner, we went to our Pastor's house to eat dinner. I made Mom's sweet potatoes, and they were the biggest hit! *Ness, I still need to get you that recipe!* Then we stayed till LATE playing games. It was SO much fun! I actually won Phase 10! Which is pretty amazing considering I was stuck on phase 3 for about an hour!

My Dad and Lynn came to visit later in the week. That was possibly the best gift I could have gotten. I had been missing my dad so much, and it was great to spend a little time with them. :D

All in all, it was a pretty great holiday! Although, I did end up getting strep throat for New Year's! But I'm better now!
