Christmas

My favorite day of the year is over but we had so much fun. We spent Christmas Eve with my family making ginger bread houses( of course ours was the best!) Then we spent christmas day opening presents with both of our families. Im so grateful we were able to spend the holidays with our families and have such good time!

Lots of pics of our holiday festivities-

Sugar with all of her presents!

River Henderson Andrus!

My sister Michelle and her husband Brady had another absolutely beautiful baby boy! I am so excited to have another little sweet spirit in our family... He is so cute, but most importantly he and michelle are healthy and doing great!

NFR!

Last night was the first round of the NFR and we had so much fun! Jason's brother Randon is in it this year and could possibly win the world so its especially fun going and cheering him on! It's so awesome to see the people we rope around all year who have worked so hard to make it to the NFR! So for the next 9 nights we'll be at the Thomas and Mack.. Good luck Randon!

Fragile.....

Yesterday i went to a funeral of a really close freind of jason and his family. i never met him but the funeral really touched me. He was only 29 years old with a wife and a child. It really made me step back and realize just how fragile life is, how blessed i am to have every single day here upon this earth and to cherish every moment with the people i love so much. I began to ask myself lots of questions like... If i died would my husband, family, and friends know how much i loved them? What more can i do each day to lift others and to make a difference in their lives? If i died tomorrow would i be worthy enough to end up where i want to be?( well i know the answer to that is a no, so i better not be going anywhere soon!)etc... These questions helped me come to the conclusion that i need to do better, try harder, so that if today were my last that i would have no regrets. That i could be the person that changed others lives for good and that their lives were better because i was a part of it. To my friends and family.. i love each and every one of you so unbelievably much, am so grateful to have you as a part of my life, and would do anything in this world for any of you!

Success!

First of all I have lost the cord that connects my camera to my computer so i can't put any pictures up and im pretty upset about it! All i have to say is that i had the best halloween... maybe because it couldn't get any worse than last years. We were going to school in Virginia and we lived in some apartments where i always saw kids waking around. So being my first year married i was so excited to get trick or treaters and hand out candy. I bought sooo much candy and waited on my couch for all the kids i was expecting, well i waited all night and not a single trick or treater! Thats probably why this year was such a success to me.. i had so many trick or treaters!! this all sounds so dumb but it made my year.. me and jason had so much fun seeing all the kids fun costumes and passing out candy
