Days at the beach

Are absolutely the best!

aaah

Finals are done, and Christmas is officially on it's way! Here's a little cutie to put you in the mood too!

my celestial week

As my dad so kindly put it! I was so excited today in sacrament meeting when I found this out, Andrew had to muffle my excitement. So, with our tithing settlement sheet came two sheets with Andrew and mine's church information. It showed when I was sealed to my parents, baptized, endowed, and married. I know the last three dates easily, especially my baptism because it was my birthday (April 1), but check the rest out:

Sealed to my parents : 24 April (1992)

Endowed:   25 April (2008)

Married:  26 April (2008)

This will now and forever be known as my celestial week, as I told my dad, I expect presents!

photoshoots...

Can be so much fun sometimes! I had a bridal shoot today, and you would never be able to tell by the pictures that it was below 30 degrees! The bride was beautiful, and pretended to be warm the whole time! I can't wait to go through them all, I'm actually pretty excited to edit these! I also want to get them finished before the wedding I have next week, and oh ya, finals!

Thankful {very}

I am so thankful that Andrew, Chuck, and I were able to go back to Virginia for Thanksgiving! It was so great to spend time with our family and close friends. 

I got to watch Andrew and Andrew (my brother and my husband) play in the Turkey Bowl Thanksgiving morning. We ate a ton, mom did a great job with dinner, and Nicole's rolls were beast as always! Anna pulled her tooth out right in front of me, which made me kind of sick, but it's all good because I love her. We learned how to play an awesome new game, Mafia, with some great friends and I am dying to play it again! Andrew drug me, mom, and MaryBeth out at midnight for black friday shopping. It was all good until at about 1 am it started pouring rain! I was totally satisfied with our boot find, buy one pair get two free! (sweet I know!) 

Mom took us all shopping for some new clothes which we are in much need for. I think I have almost cycled through and passed down all my clothes from high school to MaryBeth. Saturday night we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings where practically every mormon in Williamsburg showed up for the BYU vs Utah game. BYU won, of course! 

My favorite time was playing scum and eating M&Ms with the family though. Surprisingly, mom never became the scummie! It was a long weekend packed full of fun, it went by way too fast, broke my heart to leave, but I would do it all over again. Now, I have forgotten all my french, am dreading the tests and projects I have due before finals, but before I know it we'll be in Virginia again!

Here is a pic I stole from a session Nicole did for us. It's bright but I like it like that, I think we look like angels! Thanks Mom & Dad for bringing us home! We love you!!!
