Six Month Anniversary!

Today is our six month anniversary! Hooray! We've been married half a year, and I'm pretty excited about it. It is hard to believe that time has gone by so fast!

Friday night, we had my parents over for dinner. It was the first time they have been to the apartment. I went to the grocery store on Friday to get supplies. David made some baked chicken, and baked potatoes. I made a cake, which also turned out really well. I thought it would be really fun to eat off of our china, and also use our stemware and flatware. It was cool! We had a great evening, and look forward to many more.

Congratulations!

I found out that our wedding photographers won a bunch of awards, including 2005 Dallas Photographer of the Year, Album Designer of the Year, Wedding Photographer of the Year & Best Folio of the Year! Hooray! I'm so excited for them!

Pink Squishy Thing

This Saturday we went to Joyce Choate's 80th birthday party. We met up with my parents, my Grandmother, my Aunt Sheila and my little cousin Rachel. Rachel is going to be 4 in May. Therefore she's a pill.

For two days Rachel had been talking about wanting to get a pink squishy thing. She didn't know what it was. She would tell you it wasn't Play Doh and that it might be used in craft class. Oh... and it had a green flying thing on the commercial. We as the party wrapped up Dezi, my mom, Rachel, and I decided to walk to the Wal-Mart next door. We went to the toy section to let her look. She couldn't find it, so I went looking for clay and found the generic brand playdough. Sure enough that was what she wanted. I then convinced her to get what I wanted her to get. Lots of little pieces to strew all over her parents house. The corruption has begun. Muhaha!

Time flies

It's amazing how quickly time has flown by. Christmas and New Years have come and gone. I hate to say it, but I never really got into the Christmas spirit this year. I was too busy focused on work and other things. Dezi did a majority of the Christmas shopping. We did learn how to make candles and she made soap for hand made gifts. We had to be extremely conservative, but I think we faired very well.

Thanksgiving had been all about my family, so Christmas was all about hers. Christmas day was extremely busy. While I would have enjoyed the idea of sleeping in we hopped up by 8:00. We exchanged our own presents and then drove to her parent's house for the nuclear family exchange. Then we hopped in the car and drove to her grandparents for lunch and more presents. Back in the car to her parents house to make sure everything was ready for the other half of the family to come over. By the time we finally got home it was close to Midnight and we'd had a full day.

New Year's was considerably less busy. We had never really made plans for what we were going to do, but I had wanted to do something. Unfortunately I had a bone jarring headache for 3 days straight. I Never was completely sure what caused the headaches, but between allergy, sinus, headache, and ear infection medicines we managed to put the kabosh on it by Monday evening just in time to go back to work.

This Saturday will be our first party in the apartment. We have a lot of cleaning to do. Dezi has borrowed the chocolate fountain from her parents. I know (or at least I think) she has it all planned out in her head. I'm just curious to see what that will be.
