Brittany Gets a Haircut

Brittany has been in desperate need of a haircut! A couple years ago, Jordan bought proffesional clippers so he could do it himself, instead of taking her every so often and paying a pretty penny when he can make her look just as good at home! Brittany was a furball and sheading her winter coat all over the house, the furniture, our clothes, the car, our bedroom..any room for that matter. We were swimming in Brittany hair. Anyway..she was cut and now she is a skinny little puppy! Thank goodness :)

The Pre cut FUR BALL!!

Aww Mom, stop with the pictures.

Jordan concentrating very hard on getting her cut just right!

I love to see her freckles..you can't see them unless she is cut short
SO happy for no more HAIR!

Ready to go to dinner at Bree and Roy's house :)

Silly girl and her main squeeze. She LOVES her some Jordan..me too ;)

Christmas in January

Over the holiday, Jordan's grandmother, MeMe, was ill with pneumonia and was hosptialized for one week at 'Big' Baylor and then came across the street to see me at Baylor Specialty for Pulmonary Rehab for about 2 weeks. We were supposed to have the Massey Christmas on the Sunday before, but since she was sick, we postponed it until last weekend. We had our Christmas at MeMe and Grandad's house in Dallas where there was an amazing spread of food and presents for the kiddos. We had a great time and we were all glad to have it, even if it was almost a month late :)

It's finally here!!!

Market Street in Coppell FINALLY opened!!!! WOO-HOO! For months I have been waiting and watching and waiting some more for this wonderful store to open its doors for me, and this week, the wait was over!! My sweet friend Diane and I went to lunch and then headed over the Market Street to check out the goods. Well, apparently, we were not the only ones excited to see this place open. There was not a single parking space to be found. The crazy masses of people made it a bit overwhelming, but still a fun experience. I ground my own honey roasted peanut butter and sampled some fresh sushi. It was GREAT! I am so pumped to have this place so close by...I was driving to Colleyville or Frisco to shop at this Whole Foods/Central Market style grocery store. Now it is within literally 5 minutes of my house. Ooo, this could be dangerous.Diane and I

We got lucky with parking in the first 10 rows of cars.

Jordan Graduates!!

This past Monday I took off work to go watch my wonderful husband graduate from Paramedic school. He has been working hard, studying and doing clinical rotations since the last week in June, and finally he is finished! He left us all surprised when they announced his name as Salutatorian of the whole class! I knew he was studying and doing well on all his assignments, but way to go, Jordan!! I am so proud of him :) He took his National Registry for skills yesterday and passed with flying colors and now he takes the written exam on Thursday. if all goes well, he will be totally finished for good, and will be awarded his Paramedic Patch. Wish him luck!

Christmas 2008

Another Christmas come and gone, but it was so wonderful! Friends and family made it a memorable year and I am so thankful that all worked out the way it did. Jordan, Britt and I spent the night at the Massey's and opened presents Christmas morning. After a yummy breakfast of French Toast and Strawberry Mimosas, Jordan and I cleaned up and hit the road to Austin to be with my family. My mom outdid herself with all the food and desserts and will the boys played football, Sam and I decorated Gingerbread houses. The next morning we went to breakfast as a family and then it off to Belton for one last Christmas. More food and family and so much fun. We got home yesterday and let me tell you I am so thankful to relax! It has been sooo busy, but a good time, for sure!

The First Fire of the Season

I absolutley love that we have a fire place in our sweet home and this past week Jordan surprised me with a warm fire and Sinatra playing when I got home from work. I have been begging for weeks to build one, and finally!! I had to take some pictures. Britt was excited by it, too! She stayed there the rest of the evening :)

Tapas and Sparkling Sangria

Last week, Stephanie's sister, Jasmine came from New York with her husband to visit for Christmas. I have heard so much about her, and it was great to finally meet her. Once again, Steph and Shelley took me to expand my 'foodie horizons' and we ate at Sangria in Uptown. This is an authentic Spanish Tapas bar with Sparkling Sangria by the pitcher. We stuck with Sparkling Sangria by the glass, a good thing because after just half of one, Stephanie and I were already getting the giggles. :) I ate things like lamb and duck and really LOVED their pork with whipped cinnamon apple potatoes. Yum!! (You can say that, again!)
