I dreamt of a White Christmas....and my dream came true!

We were not able to make it home for Christmas, Jordan had to work Christmas Eve so we had a quiet Christmas in Dallas. Christmas Eve about noon we started having snow flurries and since it was literally 70 degrees the day before, I didn't get too excited thinking it wouldn't accumulate or stick. Well, this is what we woke up to Christmas morning....

It was breathtaking, so pretty! I woke up so early to take pictures, I was so afraid I would sleep late and it would all melt away!

Karma absolutely loved the snow! She was so frisky, and ran around in circles!

It wasn't very deep, you can see where we walked through the yard!

Jordan is going to kill me-this is only after 5 hours sleep, I think we look good

: ) ha!

Visit to BIG D!

Mom and Dad visited us in Dallas December 4-7 and we had a blast! This was their first time to visit us in Dallas, and we are so glad they were able to visit! We went to the JFK Museum in the School Book Depository, and walked in Dealey Plaza downtown.

Lili and Jordan on the grassy knoll...

This is the old city courthouse

The street where JFK was shot, to the left is the School book depository. Anytime and I mean ANYTIME you will see people in the middle of the street, trying to see if the shots were possible as if they are conducting their own investigation.

Mom and Dad in front of the Depository, it's pretty interesting to see the museum, the evidence, and to be taken back in time to that moment in Dallas.

Karma loved having Mom and Dad in Dallas, she is so sad that they had to leave, she just loves all the extra attention and the extra love!

I put up our Christmas tree so that my parents could see our house decorated. Jordan and my dad cooked some steaks on Jordan's Big Green Egg. They were Fabulous!

Thanks again for coming and visiting us! I miss you everyday and I am so happy you came in town to see the house and us! Hope you had a wonderful wedding anniversary!! We love you!!

Time flies when you're......busy!

Boy, I have really been a slacker with this blogging stuff, but I am going to play catch up!

Jordan has been super busy at the hospital, he is on call a lot and is one reason why time is flying.

I started working at FitSteps, which is through the Cancer Foundation for Life. I basically help people fighting cancer or in remission regain strength and exercise. It's a ton of fun, I visit with people all day! The job has been a blessing in that I am around people who truly see life as a precious gift and it reminds me to be humble and appreciate everyday!

October
We had our 1st wedding anniversary, and celebrated with champagne and our year old cake! It was really yummy!

We went to the Texas State Fair and I ate fried snickers...mmmm!

Jordan had his first ride on a ferris wheel(top left), Jordan and I in front of BIG TEX (top right),

The fried snickers, the batter is like beignet mix, and

the parade going through Fair Park

Jordan's birthday was the 15th and we celebrated with Widespread Panic and the Allman Brothers!

We celebrated Halloween with new friends in Dallas at a house party with witch's brew in which I had no business drinking....

I interviewed for Baylor School of Nursing Fast Bacc BSN program and I was ACCEPTED! I start school in May and I am so excited that I am not taking all of these random JUCO classes for nothing...ha!

I visited Charleston, SC to see my sweet niece Harper who was born November 4th! She's gorgeous, I want to go back already!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Dallas with Hal and Sarah and I cooked my very own turkey!

My birthday (28th) on the 30th was great, I am truly blessed to have great friends and family who wished me lot of birthday wishes from near and afar!

That's a good start, but now I know why I haven't been blogging, between all this we have been also pricing for a new floor in our kitchen/dining area and I finished two community college classes. whew...
