A Tribute

Our family has had to part ways with a loving member: THE Nissan 240sx. She was sold yesterday. This car is 15 years old and is still going strong. If only this car could talk! It all started out when Julie was 18 or 19: THE car was purchased. Julie and Troy had named it at one time. I believe it was Shanaynay. Then THE car was given to me when I turned 16. When I moved to college, I had to leave THE car behind; however, she was not forgotten. Oh yes, Benny has driven THE car, Debra has driven THE car, Scott has driven THE car and we'll never forget the ones who had the pleasure of riding in THE car. (Shoutouts to Mandy, Starla, Amy, Jaclyn, and many others) This car has made many trips including the one that Jaclyn and I took to Tuscaloosa when I was sixteen. Needless to say we didn't get away with that one! We thought we'd never get caught! I drove THE car to the beach when Scott and I met. This car has been spun around and put through a fence, courtesy of me, and it's still going strong! I'm telling you, THE car is amazing. So what if there's a big crack in the front, a speedometer that doesn't work, an odometer that doesn't work and windshield wipers that come on when you turn on the headlights, it's still the best! Not to mention the kickin' speakers Troy bought for her when the other ones went out! We were jammin'! She will never be forgotten...(side note: this pic is not the original. Pretty close though. Imagine a crack in the front and fading paint!) ;)

I have to brag...

I really do think I have a special talent. So far, I am 7 for 7 in picking out the correct sex of babies! It all started six years ago when Julie found out she was pregnant with Koby. From the beginning I said he was a boy even when everyone else said he was "Abby". But a month before he was born we found out otherwise! I was also right at predicting Maci and Kole. Then I've predicted the last two of Jenny's correctly, even the latest which we just found out today is a boy! Yay! Then there's my friend Brittany who I said was having a girl even when the doctor said boy. Guess what?! She had a girl! Then my friend Liz just found out she's having a girl too, which I predicted. What can I say...I've found my talent. Now, like I said before, I'm predicting boy for Chad and Teale. We'll see! Maybe I should start charging....

Birthday!

I celebrated my 26th birthday last Tuesday. I am now on the downward slope to 30. Where does the time go? I had a great birthday. Friday night before my birthday, some friends and I went to eat at Jalapeno's and then bowling. I hadn't been bowling since my 15th birthday! I guess I'm just a natural 'cause I won both games!! ha ha. We had a great time. They brought me a chocolate birthday cake and got a picture from Kirkland's I've been wanting. Scott got me a new digital camera. Well, I guess I'm gonna have to share it with him since I dropped his in a cup of Dr. Pepper the day we were leaving for Mobile. Which brings another story! A childhood friend of Scott's got married in Mobile the first weekend of March. Scott was in the wedding so we had to get down there early for the rehearsal. This wedding was unreal. The rehearsal dinner was great with all kinds of seafood. Then Saturday we went to this HUGE house in Mobile for a "luncheon". Then of course the wedding and reception were that night. To end this great weekend which started with the Dr. Pepper incident, Scott lost his tux jacket which contained his brand new cell phone and Costa Del Mar sunglasses. We searched all day Sunday at the reception site and couldn't find it. We're talking about $300 worth of merchandise, plus the price of the ruined camera!! Oh well, it never turned up. So, to get back to my birthday...Scott got me the awesome camera that I've been wanting and we went to eat at Depalma's in Tuscaloosa. DePalma's is this awesome Italian restaurant in downtown. We never go there and I don't know why! I'll finally be able to take pictures again! I also found out that Chad and Teale are expecting again! ( So happy for yall!) And that my friend Liz is going to have a girl! I knew it!!Right now I am 6 for 6!! I'm really thinking "boy" for Chad and Teale, so we'll see!!

Speaking of time flying by, Scott and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary in a month! I can't believe it. We've decided that instead of taking a trip on our anniversary, we're gonna plan a trip to New York sometime in July!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I've wanted to go there for sooo long. I got Scott on board by promising a tour of Yankee Stadium and a game. We are so pumped! As for now, I'm gonna get busy taking some new pics to put on here!

Pics from the holidays

Holiday recap...

Now that the holidays have come and gone, I thought I'd write about it! Christmas was fun. Scott and I had decided that we weren't going to do gifts this year because we're spending money updating the house. (yeah right) Scott was surprised with the dartboard and dartboard cabinet I got him and I was surprised with a new microwave!! Yep, you know you're old and married when you get excited about a new microwave and the counterspace it will allow in the kitchen! He also bought me a pink fishing rod! I'll be sure not to leave that one in his boat. We had a great time spending the holidays with our families. It was busy, but always good to get together with everyone. We spent the new year at a friends house in Birmingham. We stayed up until 3 am playing 80's Trivial Pursuit and True Colors. Scott and I bombed at Trivial Pursuit, but True Colors is an awesome game! We then spent all of New Years Day watching football. As for now, we're continuing to work on the house. We've almost finished the "game room" which we've tiled, painted, and put new base boards down. Next we're getting a free pool table from a friend! We're throwing a Tool and Gadget party for some friends at the first of February so we're really trying to finish a lot of projects!
We finally got the wedding video back after a long 9 month wait. Scott was pretty frustrated at how long it took and kept saying that I could've had a baby by now. In which I replied with, "Shut up! That's not even funny." I can say; however, that the video is awesome! It's so great to be able to watch, in action, everything that happened and was said that day. It was money well spent.
Scott started a new job last week working for International Wines as a salesman. He really enjoys it. He works out of Tuscaloosa and is in charge of ordering wine for most of the grocery stores and some restaurants.
So that's what's going on with us! Thanks for stopping by!

Our first christmas!

Some pics of our first Christmas together. I love this holiday!

Our house! (Scott got stuck on the roof after putting up the icicle

lights! I had to pull his truck to the front of the house so he

could jump!) It was hilarious!

I couldn't resist when I was wrapping presents!

The stockings

Our first tree! I had to wait a little longer to put it up so that
Scott could lay the new tile! (there used to be green carpet!)
