New decor!!!

J and I have been decorating our home for a year! Who knew it would take so long to decide what we wanted on the walls:) We'll after searching and planning in my head I finally found an entry way table and mirror from Hobby Lobby (this place is AWESOME...have you seen their Christmas and Halloween stuff??), we got some frames that you stick multiple pictures in and a decorative piece for two walls from TJ Maxx, a coffee table from Market Samples (this small furniture store on High Point Rd in High Point), another smaller coffee table, and an armoire and end table from a friend's mom . We have been so blessed to receive different items from friends and family and to purchase some additional pieces.

It feels so good not to be scared to put things on the wall anymore. Now that we are homeowners there isn't a maintenance guy to come and repair the walls when you mess them up hanging and re-hanging pictures and frames:)

Enjoy the pictures!

The Worst Bloggers Ever!

So J and I haven't blogged in a LONG time. I have been soooo busy with summer camps, family stuff, school starting, and UNCG cheer and dance that there has only been time for sleep. So since the last time I posted we have celebrated Grand momma Holmes' 90 birthday, done the girl's camp thing, we have gone to my family reunion in Florida, been out of town at my cheer camps, and celebrated my nephew's first birthday. The summer was a blur and I am glad to have my life back! Please, please, please remind me next summer of this post so that I don't run myself crazy like I did this summer:)

Since it's 10pm and my brain hurts I am going to have to give you a break down of the pictures first because I cannot remember (and nor do I care to right now) how to get the pictures to let me put a caption after each.

1. Me and my friend at the UCA Awards Night dinner
2. The great decorations me and the other camp director woke up to one day a girl's camps
3. Grand momma Holmes and J
4. J's parents and there 9 grandchildren
5. A preview of what J will be like when he's a dad:) I love this picture.
6. Me and my sissy. She's 17 and wonderful!
7. Nephew J making his birthday entrance. He was not happy at first:)

So this is my quick snapshot of our summer. Now that I am back home we will be posting regularly again.

Enjoy the pictures!

Cedrick is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the crew gets together every Wednesday to watch So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD). This season has been very upsetting because the judges have kept this annoying guy, Cedrick, on the show for WAY TOO LONG! So J gave me the news at midnight last night that Cedrick is no longer on the show...yippeeeeee!!! For those of you who do not watch the show, Cedrick was the Sonjaya (from American Idol) of SYTYCD. I know this post is kind of random, but I had to post it because I needed to release my excitement for Cedrick's journey home:) Thank you for letting me share a very cathartic moment with you...ha!

Toodles:)

Things I miss when I'm away from home doing camps

So I think everyone knows that I do cheer camps during the summer. It's a great summer job, but it can get a little long sometimes. So I've been at camp this week and I've been thinking of things I miss when I'm away from home. I know I may be taking the risk of sounding like a 2 year old, but I really do miss home in a different way now that I'm married and more settled in my ways. So here's a short list:

1. I miss my human heater...J!

2. I miss my sleep!!! I cannot go to sleep at a decent hour when I'm away because I don't have my tempurpedic bed or my human teddybear!

3. Normal conversations. Most of the people I work with are between the ages of 17 and 22.

4. Working a normal working day. Camps are from 8am to 8:30pm.

Well, I'll see you guys soon when I return on Saturday, but I go out again on Monday so the visit home is very short (I am basically coming home so that I do not miss church).

Do you know what today is (was)...It's our anniversary!

For any of you who don't know, the title of this blog is a shout out to one of my favorite music groups in the 80's. Tony! Toni! Tone! made a song called "Anniversary" and that's the main line in the hook or chorus.

Well, onto the greatness. Yesterday was our one year anniversary and it was an EXCELLENT day! First we went on a picnic at the Bicentennial Gardens where we were married. For those of you who were there a year ago, it was about 80 degrees (10 -15 degrees cooler than last year). Where was this weather then!

The sign as you enter the gardens.

The picnic J put together.

The gazebo where we got married and J relaxing underneath.

After that we headed to Coldstone for smoothies, Lowes, and a couple of furniture places for some window shopping. We LOVE going and testing out the squishiness (you like my word don't you) of all of the couches. So after that we went to P.F. Chang's and it was AWESOME!!! I have only ever gotten the lettuce wraps and Jeremy's never eaten there so it was GREAT!!!

The best chinese food EVER!!!

The shirt I'm wearing was my gift from J. It's from White House Black Market and I LOVE it!

After we left the restaurant we decided that we wanted to see our friends so we joined them at the end of Family Home Evening and got a dance lesson.

It was a great anniversary! J did an awesome job planning everything. He's the BEST husband ever!

Forever Family!!!

J and I became a "forever family"on June 9, 2007! The temple is a wonderful place and we are so excited that our friends and family were able to share in our special day.

We love you all and enjoy the pictures!!!

Coming out of the temple for the first time!!!
