Kimmel and i drove to va this past week to stay with my family. The drive wasn't too horrible, 20 hours of driving with no wrecks, weather or crowded roads. The time flew by as i slept, tee hee. We switched off driving while i drove he slept vice versa.

There are some things very vital for Kimmel to drive such a long distance...


We got to spend time with my mom, sister and her family. Her four kids are always a blast to be around. We wish we lived closer so we could share life together more! Kimmel got to go skiing with our brother in law...and He was surprised at how nice they were...for virginia mountains. haha

(i got to use my tripod Kimmel got me for christmas...really excited about that!!)
Stole some time away to visit with my longtime friend Amber...even though it was only like half an hour it was WAY nice! Its funny how some people just give you a piece of home. The next day i stole more time from my family to visit with some dear college friends. The top left is monica, due with TWIN BOYS this spring, Amy, me and Allison. We all graduated from Longwood University -or College as we knew it - then one by one we all ended up at SWBTS. We had some great years of life together. It was fun to get time with them and it feel like we never stopped hanging out...is that weird? 

So for the past three christmas's i have known/dated Kimmel it has snowed in Va. We don't usually get snow this time of year i say...but he doesn't believe me! 

Our new years was spent together in our Honda some where on I 40 in Tenn. I believe it was my shift to sleep...so oops...no new years kiss for us! :) 

Happy new years!

Engagment pictures

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
