West Virginia

Aaron and I headed up to West Virginia to have Christmas with Aaron's parents on Friday after Aaron got home from work. We left Lexington around 8 p.m. and were driving to Hurricane in on again, off again snow with Mic and Murry. I was a little worrried the roads were going to get bad, but we made it there safe and sound. My brother-in-law and his fiance (Ryan and Jordan) were already there.

Saturday we all slept late and took our time getting ready for our family pictures that were at 1:00 p.m. I forgot to add that the snow finally caught up to us and it snowed about 4" during the night!! For our family pictures we took all 4 dogs to the park and met the photographer for one picture with everyone and the dogs in the snow...it was freezing, but hopefully we got a cute picture. Then we dropped the dogs off at the house and went to the studio to take the rest of the pictures. This family session was our gift to Bob and Gail for Christmas.

Later Saturday evening both sides of Aaron and Ryan's family all came over for dinner. Just to give you a mental image there were about 16 people and 4 dogs. Needless to say it was kind of like a circus. So much so that our little 19 lb. dog, Murry, who has everyone fooled to believe he is the sweetest thing ever, bit Aaron's 10 year old cousin, Abby on the leg so hard that she had 4 little bruise marks from his fangs!! After some tears and Aaron and I feeling so bad we banished Murry to his crate, we continued on with a game of Scategories. Murry cried the entire time he was in his crate. I think he knew he was in trouble. Abby came back over on Sunday, she and Murry made up, he felt bad :)

We went to church, ate lunch and then headed home on Sunday in just enough time to start some laundry, clean up the house and make some cookies for our college bible study that we host on Sunday nights. It was a fast and furious weekend, but it was nice to see Aaron's family.

The pictures up above are of Aaron and Ryan with their 93 year old grandfather, Pa-Pa. And me and Jordan with him too! He is such a sweet man. Everytime he see's me he tells me I'm waiting on that Samson girl. There has not been a Samson girl in almost 70 years and he thinks it's about time for one. I just say Aaron and I will see what we can do!

Happy Monday!

Back on the saddle again

So I gave blogging a chance early last year, but I wasn't the best at keeping up with it. I was blogging about my travels with my job, but a lot of times I found it hard to keep up with the blogging while I was on the road. Then in September I got a new job that does not require me to travel.

Now that Aaron and I have been married for 5 monts I thought it would be a good idea to start documenting the rest of our first year of marriage and all the years to come. And I promise to keep up with this blog and maybe I can even get Aaron to make a couple of posts as well.

With the beginning of a New Year and 360 days left in 2011 Aaron, Mic, Murry and myself have a lot of exciting days ahead of us. So here's wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!!
