Ringing in the New Year with my 2 Favorite Guys

My very, very best friend Cody came to visit over New Years. Brandon and I had TOO much fun hangin' out with our favorite Texan for a few days. The trip was too short like always--Hopefully we'll make it to San Antonio sooner than later to visit him and my 2nd Momma, Lisa :) Cody and I took BK to Dave & Buster's for his first time. As you can see, we got a little carried away with winning tickets...(Keep in mind Cody's 6'5'') All 3 of us are WAY too competitive!

We spent part of New Years at a restuarant/bar in Downtown. It has a really cool study with a fireplace. BK and Code were lovin' these leather chairs.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We had such a great time!! Hope to see you soon Cody! We love you and miss you already.

Our First Christmas Together

Sorry it has taken me so long to get pics up from Christmas, but I've been working so much I don't have much time for anything other than sleeping and eating... Brandon and I had such a wonderful Christmas together! We were very sad to be away from our family and friends during the holidays but we sure enjoyed a little R & R. The lazy, quiet days were much needed after hardly seeing each other for a month while Brandon studied for finals.

Brandon and I started a new tradition of drinking yummy Christmas peppermint drinks and watching "A Christmas Story" on Christmas Eve.

Our little tree (below) was quite pathetic but it made our pile of presents look even more impressive. I think we'll upgrade to a big tree next year :-) Brandon made us a BIG delicious breakfast Christmas morning. His Grandma Jan sent us our stylin' aprons. Thanks Grammy Jannie!

We walked downtown and got coffee at Starby's then went to the movies all day. I was very warm in my fleece and scarf (it was sunny & 65) but I really wanted to look wintery...it definitely didn't feel like Christmas outside.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their loved ones. It was different not being home but we really enjoyed our time together. Thank you for all the cards and Holiday wishes!!!
