Happy Holidays blogger world! I am just so frustrated right now with the lack of picture-taking, blogging, etc. that I have (or have not) been doing over the last couple months! Of course, school has been over-taking my life as usual, but blogging just has not been on my mind lately for some reason! I promised pictures of our family day at the Louisville/West Virginia game, but sadly when I turned on my camera to take pictures, the battery was dead. I couldn't believe it because I had charged it two nights beforehand but I accidentally was uploading pictures for a school assignment and uploading them into my computer used up all the battery. I do have one picture that is on my cell phone, but I am not sure how to upload it just yet. Oh well! I also forgot my camera when we went to Tennessee to spend Thanksgiving with Alex's family. I was joking with him and said, "We're not going to have any pictures from our first year of marriage!!" I did, however, take pictures of Christmas decorating. I am so impressed with myself because despite all the homework that is due this week, we managed to go get our Christmas tree last night and decorate it as well as put a few house decorations up. Usually it is two weeks before Christmas and my family is just starting the process, but here it is, November, and we are almost finished! I wish I could say the same thing about Christmas shopping, but it is still November and I have a while. I think I'm doing pretty good! Well... I did think I was doing pretty good until a lady that is staying at the hotel I work at just told me she finished her Christmas shopping last night. Seriously?! Way to make me feel horrible! ;)
Anyways, this is our last week of school until finals. I only have one final though so I am practically done! I just have to muster up the motivation to finish two papers and a lesson reflection. It will get done though!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. The food is great, but the company is what truly makes Thanksgiving special. I wish I would have been able to have Thanksgiving dinner with my family, but dinner with the McCalls was very nice. We only spent one day in Tennessee because Alex had to work on Black Friday. I was going to go on Wednesday morning, but my mom and brother were in a car accident and I decided to stay with them and make sure they were okay before leaving. Both cars in the accident were totaled but everyone is okay. The Lord truly had His hand of protection over them, especially my brother. He clicked his seatbelt on thirty seconds before the impact. I am thankful for him and for the Lord protecting him in such a crystal clear way! He is so good!

"Thanksgiving Holiday"
♥ I am excited about having some time off school and work to celebrate Thanksgiving with family! I am not sure when my side of the family is doing Thanksgiving (maybe Tuesday), but Alex and I are heading to Tennessee on Wednesday morning to spend a few days with his family. I'm really looking forward to that! His family is also coming to Louisville tomorrow for the Louisville/WV football game, and I CAN'T WAIT! There are 8 of us going so it should be really fun. I'm not sure who I should be rooting for though! His family is all WV fans because that is where his mom attended so he has grown up with it. I'll probably still root for my Cardinals. :)
I'll try to post some recent pictures very soon!

"Busy, Busy"
♥ I know that I haven't updated in a while but I have been so busy!! Nothing new is going on with us really. We have about a month of school left, and Alex and I could not be any more ready for the break! It will be a wonderful time to spend with family and friends. Alex did get a new job that we think will be better for him, but we are in the middle of that transition right now. I think he is enjoying the time off, and that makes my life more enjoyable when I have a happy husband. He has been so adorable lately. :)
Yesterday was my 21st birthday, and I got to celebrate with one of my best friends, Hannah Wagner, by being a bridesmaid in her wedding! The wedding was beautiful, and I had so much fun. I'm pretty sure she did too! Here are a couple of pictures from the big day. Congratulations Kyle & Hannah Hastings!
It was such a great day! Thank you to everyone who called and sent me birthday wishes! I felt so loved!
