home=warm

Yesterday Andrew's school closed due to some ice on the roads, one could debate about whether or not the weather warranted the closure or not but the fact still remains KISD closed its doors. My office observed the ice by opening at 10am. Which is great, we found all this out at 6am, so we turned the tv off set my alarm for 9 and proceed to sleep :)

It was normal day so to speak, everything went about as if the ice had never been there. So i headed home. Thankful that the roads were cleared and my husband was home waiting! When i got home he said, "i could tell you were about to come home the house got warmer". At first i was like aw my house missed me, but i quickly remember that friend of our blessed us with this awesome digital AC/Heater thermostat for CHEAP. It has great programable settings for every day of the week and weekends. I had programmed it to stay off all day and then start warming up at about the time Kimmel or i get home.

Its a nice thought for a brief moment to think that an inanimate object is doing something for you. To make you feel at home. I am so thankful for the heater this year. We are having a crazy cold winter this year, i think US wide, so i am very thankful for the luxury!

Now i am thinking how can i 'warm' the house for Kimmel when he comes home everyday. Something subtle and nice that he may or may not notice. That maybe a new goal of mine! haha

Stay warm readers stay warm!!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
