CRAZINESS!!

So I heard some pretty crazy news yesterday and well I just have to vent for a bit.  Some people just AMAZE me with how stupid they are.  I just don't get it sometimes!  You think you know someone but then they turn around and become a totally different person (bipolar, possibly?!?).  I just don't understand how people do the things they do to the ones they supposedly "love."  But there comes a time in your life when you have to let go and move on.  Sometimes, well majority of the times, life is better without them.  Just remember that, ladies out there, life WILL be better without them in it!  I just had to get that off of my chest and vent a little.  Anyways, I hope everyone has had a great weekend with their loved ones like I have! 

XOXO,

Couldn't be better!

Well, the past week has just been MEGA busy and normally I would complain a little about not having time for myself BUT not this time!  Let's go back to last weekend...  My brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first child so the families got together (just the women) and threw the cutest shower!  We had so much fun planning and decorating for the shower and we had a fantastic turn out.  Baby S was showered with gifts!  I don't think he could want anything else...lol!  I had never seen so many presents!  It was such a blessing!  We had the best time with our family that weekend.

  While we were home we were also able to pick up our wedding album FINALLY!!!  It was amazingly beautiful.  The pictures were phenomenal!  We couldn't be happier!  Everyone LOVED it including our photographers!  They even made a copy to show others during a Bridal Show. 

  After being home all weekend, we decided to come home Sunday since we had Monday off of work for MLK day just relax at home.  It was kind of nice having the day off but then again I had only worked one day the previous week so I thought one more day off wouldn't hurt...lol!  My husband and I just kicked back on Monday and enjoyed some time together!

  Then off course reality set in again and back to work I went.  I hate to admit it but I did miss my kiddos a little while we were off for snow.  So we hit the ground running on Tuesday and well my poor babies were not ready for it.  We slowly but surely got back into our routine when Thursday rolled around and the word "snow" was mentioned in the forecast.  Well needless to say we were off on Friday for snow.  We received an inch of snow and about a half inch of ice.  It was a little crazy considering that the previous week we only went to school one day and this week we only went three.  NOT TO MENTION, the forecast is calling for snow and ice on Monday and Tuesday of next week.  :)  Guess we will just see how it goes.

  This brings me to today.  My husband and I have been married eight wonderful months today!  It is insane how fast the time has gone by.  We have loved every minute of it.  I would have to say I could not have asked for a better person to spend the rest of my life with.  We have always said we were soulmates and as each day passes I know we definitely are!  I am so lucky!  I love him so very much!

I have wrote all of this to let everyone know that my life could not be better!  We have truly been blessed with an amazing set of parents, loving brothers and sister-in-laws, and each other.  It is the best thing in the world to know there are people out there who love you and want to spend time with you.  Our family has gotten so close over the past few years and we couldn't be happier.  Not everyone is as lucky as we are to have such a wonderful family.  We just want to make sure our families know how much we appreciate everything they do for us and for the love they share.  We cannot wait to see what this year holds for us!  Bring it on 2011, we know it will be amazing!

Thoughtless Thursdays!

So, I totally borrowed this from my sister-in-law's blog (which she borrowed from another blog)...but I thought it was a cute idea!

I have currently not been to work one single day this week and well tomorrow is Friday.  So this afternoon as I patiently waited to hear the news of school or no school, I was highly disappointed to find out that we would be going to school tomorrow.  Which is completely crazy to me since we haven't been all week long and now we are going for one day!  However, we do get to go in one hour late so ya for us!  I am just thankful to have my four snow days!  I can manage a one day work week!  :)

Enjoy your Friday!

With Love,

BE JEALOUS!!!

Why you might ask?  Well, for the past two days I have not had to work at all!  We had a major winter snow come through our area which left about 3-4 inches of snow.  Therefore, being a teacher, we got a couple snow days.  But wait it gets better!  We are out again tomorrow!!  So that would make a total of three snow days just this week!  Oh how sweet it is to be a teacher!  LOVE IT!

Oh and it is STILL snowing!!

And let the New Year begin...

My oh my...what a week!  This past week has been much needed!  We celebrated our very first Christmas as husband and wife...it was amazing!  We had so much fun cooking, baking, buying gifts, opening presents, and traveling together.  We wanted to start our own traditions for Christmas...some we could manage here at our home or back home with our parents.  Christmas Eve, we went to our church here for the candlelight service.  It was a very good service that we both enjoyed.  Then we came home for some potato soup and a movie.  We went to be and woke up Christmas morning only to find about an inch of snow outside.  I could not even remember the last time there was snow actually ON Christmas.  We were both very excited!  We cooked some homemade waffles and bacon, which was delicious, then began opening presents.  Matt was so excited about all of his presents he bought me.  He was very proud of his shopping this year.  We got so many wonderful things from one another.

After celebrating Christmas together, we traveled home to West Tennessee. We left early the next morning and well the snow had not stopped. It was coming down like crazy! Our first stop was at my parents house. It is always so nice to come home to that safe, loving feeling of your parents home. I absolutely love coming home. We were the first ones to get there but it did not take long for my brother and his wife to arrive. We all gathered around a warm fire and exchanged Christmas gifts with one another. With all of the hustle and bustle throughout the year, it was so much fun to be able to just sit around and enjoy one another's company. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my family! We could not be more blessed! Once we finished with all of our presents, we headed over to my grandmother's house to celebrate Christmas with her, her husband, and some extended family. We ate a wonderful meal prepared by MawMaw and played games. We were laughing so hard watching the table full of people trying to trade their crops with one another....needless to say it got a little loud.

The next few days at my parent's house seemed to fly by. Before we knew it, it was time to head to Ripley for Christmas with Matt's family. So we packed up the car and headed West...lol! We went to Matt's brother and sister-in-law's house to celebrate with his family. Our niece was a hoot opening all of her gifts. We got her some clothes and a game called Elefun. She was in amazement over her new game. She is cute as a button too! We had such a blast playing with her and spending time with his family. We even celebrated our first New Year together with his brother and sister-in-laws and some friends. We had the best time!

  It was so nice to have a break from the real world and be able to spend time with both of our families.  Now that our break has come to an end , I guess it is back to the real world for us both.  I hope everyone had an amazing time at Christmas with their families just like we did.  We were talking about it on the way home, how truly blessed we are to have such fantastic parents and siblings.  We love them all so very much!

Much Love,

The Walker Wife
