The big reveal!

The girls on News Years Eve

Christmas is over already!

Christmas always seems to fly by...Shopping, wrapping, cooking, & partying always makes for a busy holiday season - and this year it all seemed to hold true more than ever! It all started the Monday before Christmas when Ryan and I got some interesting news...WE'RE PREGNANT! We are so unbelievably excited!! It's still so new and it doesn't even seem real. I am 6 weeks and 3 days prego as of today and am actually starting to feel some of the symptons (not too bad though). I go to my first doctors appt. next Monday and I'll will keep everyone posted.

Since we found out right before Christmas, we wanted to take the opportunity to be creative and give our families the news while we opened our gifts - It was such perfect timing. We ended up buying white one-sies and wrote on them "Cant' wait to meet you". We personalized them for each family member, so my mom's said "Can't wait to meet you Nana" and so forth. They are all so excited and their reactions to the gifts couldn't have been any better!

We also saw some great movies over the break. I strongly suggest every one to go see "Marley and Me", especially if you are a dog lover. It's such a good movie and if you go see it then definitely bring some tissues with you. Another good one was "The curious case of Benjamin Button" - it's really thought-provoking!...Oh and "Four Christmas's" was a funny one!

Our annual "New Years Eve/Chris Burnett Birthday Party" was a blast like always. This year we had a party inside my parents barn. I know it sounds wierd, but they have a pretty cool barn. My dad has it all decked out to where it looks like a game room. We had a pool table, beer pong, and washers. It was freezing in there, but luckily we had some space heaters for the girls to hover aroud all night. We grilled some burgers and brats and had a whole table full of appetizers. When the New Year came we popped open some champagne and had our own count down to midnight. By then it was so cold in the barn that we moved the after party to my parent's guest house.

Tomorrow we begin our busy schedules and daily routines. We are very ecxited to see what 2009 brings!

Our First Christmas in Our Home

I am really enjoying this weather! I am usually not a cold weather person, but I am loving it this year. I am still trying to figure out the layering clothes part. I am not to good at that and ALWAYS under dress.
Well we decorated our house a couple of weeks ago for Christmas. I love my house like this. It adds so much. I am going to feel like my house is so empty and blah whenever we have to take it all down.
I can not believe Christmas is a week away. Did it come really fast this year or is that what happens when you get older? I am not sure but it came way to fast! But I am super excited about it. I love spending time with my family and all the food. Starting Saturday Ryan and I have four Christmas parties in a row. It will be really fun. I hope to take a lot of pictures this year. Last year I didn't and I took only one picture over Thanksgiving. I am so bad at that!!
Well I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas, and do not forget the real meaning of Christmas.

MOVE THAT BUS!!



This is Ty running by giving us high fives

EXTREME HOMEMAKER IS IN KELLER!

WOW! I got the privilege to be on the site today for the BIG "Move that bus!" reveal!! Yes, I was one of the many people that was able to shout "MOVE THAT BUS!" What an amazing experience. It was FREEZING outside today! My mom went with me and we stood outside for 2 hours! During these loooonnnng two hours we watched the whole filming of the show. It was crazy watching how they do it. It is not as simple as you would think. They filmed all the segments of the show three different times. They had a limo (without anyone in it) drive up a few times, Ty even opened the door, they actually moved the bus away from the house, they filmed all the volunteers in front of the house, all of this happened throughout the 2 hours of us being there. Ty is adorable!! He was all dressed up. He ran by all of us and gave us all high fives. Paul from the show signed my hat(I held his coffee while he signed it! =)) And I got a picture with him. Finally, the family drove up in the limo. Ty opened the door for them and then they yelled "move that bus!" It was so neat to see the family as they were revealed their new home.

It's been awhile! I am starting to realize that I am not much of a blogger. But I am trying to get better.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Wednesday night we spent the night at Ryan's parents house. We played Pictionary. Guys verses girls. Girls won! (i think) Thursday we got up and had some coffee and read the paper (sounds so old of us...haha). Then, Ryan and I went for a run. It was beautiful outside! We went over to Ryan's grandparents for lunch and watched the Cowboys game. Then around half time went over to my aunt's house for dinner. (yes we had two thanksgiving dinners!) We watched the Texas/Texas A&M game and played games. I love the holidays because I get to hang out with my family and eat A LOT!

Ryan's birthday was last weekend. He is the big 2-4!! His birthday fell on the same day as the Big 12 Championship game, so we decided to have a party. It was fun and OU won thank goodness.


I can not believe there are only 2 more weeks till Christmas. I still have a lot of shopping to do. I am so excited though!! We decorated our house for Christmas all last week. We had nothing to begin with so we had to go get all the basics. It was so fun decorating! I love our house right now. I wish we could keep it like this all year around. =) I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And I wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Enjoy this time of year! Enjoy your families and the happiness that is in the air! SMILE!! =)
