i gotta a sweet one...

yes...i am talking about my husband:) Ya'll our 1st anniversary is tomorrow and I can't believe it!! It's already been a year!?! It's flown by in so many ways...and I'm so thankful to have such a godly man partner with me everyday the way he does. He sent me these gorgeous flowers yesterday.

He didn't tell me he was sending flowers, he just said expect someone around lunch, so I took that as "people are coming to visit" and I quickly cleaned up the apartment for about two hours...and then after waiting another two hours for this mystery person (i was hoping it would be my mom:), at 1 a nice old man knocks on the door and hands me some flowers;) Haha....oh well, at least the house was clean for a while and i have pretty flowers! It's been tough the last few days because Sam has been away at a conference in Ohio since Wednesday and i have been here, just me and Samson. Sam should be home soon though!

a weekend in white

This weekend we decided to take a trip up to Knoxville, TN to visit Sam's Granddad and his wife Mrs. Nancy. I wasn't too excited about the five hour drive up there, but as soon as we got there, I was so glad we came. Minus feeling like we had stepped back into the 70's (seriously, I don't think anything has been redone since the 1970's), we had a great time. Sam's Granddad is hilarious and Mrs. Nancy, although, in her later years, acts like she just got out of college. She is a hoot, and so much fun to be around! Other than a pretty bad cold for me, we had a lot of fun visiting with everyone. We were even awaken to this beautiful site on Saturday morning...I was mesmerized:)

snow was piled up on the car about two or three inches.
some very pretty leaves covered in the snow.
the front yard all covered in pretty white snow.
