Merry Christmas

Bryan and I just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

See you in 2009...

Blonde or Brunette

The old question still remains--blondes or brunettes have more fun?


Ladies--you will understand my next post better than men....I changed my hair color this week! I have been "blonde" for as long as I can remember--until now...I am now brunette. It is a change and a big decision! I am not for sure if I will keep my darker hair, but for now its nice...guess I will test out the question and see which I like best! ha!

Its amazing the effort and care we put into our hair--and how much what others think about it matters to us ladies...so if you see someone with amazing hair, give a compliment--goodness knows she probably spent a fortune on it! ;) Now that my hair is darker, guess that means less trips to the salon--so thats why Bryan was encouraging me to change so much?! HA!

First experience

First of all-Bryan and I had a really busy week this past week, and on top of that- this weekend I experienced my first ever car accident. Of my 26 years on Earth, and 10 years driving--God has blessed me with no car accidents! (except the ones in college where people would hit your car in the parking lot). It was just a rear ender/fender bender, but it still scares the *bleep* out of you! It had been snowing and raining all day Saturday--on my way home from a church event--Bryan was in front of me (thank goodness he heard/and saw it happen) a lady could not get control of her car and hit mine. I was not at fault, nor was I injured...just glad that is over! But now I have to go through the mess of insurance and getting estimates. I feel sorry for the lady who hit me, because that could have easily been me that hit her....having to pay to get cars fixed, etc...

So even though it was a frustrating event...we were all alright! Just goes to show how fragile life can be...I will take a hundred fender benders over one severe accident! I thanked God after it was over---and hoped it wont happen again! For those of you who have experienced worse wrecks than mine, bless you. Just thought I would share my interesting story!

Give Thanks...

Hello all-
Be sure this holiday season to take the time to give thanks for all that has been blessed upon your lives. I know Bryan and I have been, and are being, blessed every day!! We have great friends and family, our health, wealth, shelter, food, love...and so on... without of which none would be possible with out GOD. Dont take for granted the little things in life, make every moment count.

For those of you we cannot see, or be with over the holiday weekend, we wish you all the best...and safe travels.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

OH vs.TN

More about Ohio life...we were shocked to see there were no Krystals...and what the heck is this Skyline business? Chili should not be eaten on spaghetti...should be on Fritos? Am I right Tennesseans? We are southerners...we believe in hospitality, fried food, and sweet tea! Ohio does have Krispy Kreme though...

And accents are hard to get over as well...we have had to get used to the more 'northern' talk...and our friends have had to bear the 'southern' talk. We still get asked where we are from when we go places...its hilarious! ...But we are not going to change....southerners for life!

These are questions up for debate:

Ohio--Midwest state or Southern?

Krystals vs. White Castle?

Skyline vs. Gold Star?

Sweet tea vs. Unsweet tea?

Chili--spaghetti or fritos?

Coke vs. Pop?

Goetta or Sausage?

*Feel free to cast your vote, or add more to the list! :)

Life in Ohio

Our life here in Cincy is good...we have a great house, friends and each other. We have had our ups and downs this year thats for sure! The first year of marriage is a test...and we passed!!Bryan is busy with work (and feeling much better since his scare in Sept--thanks to all who prayed for him). I spend my days doing chores, job hunting, Internet surfing, having get togethers...hanging out with the hubby. I love to party plan, so if any one wants to hire me for that, I am available! :)


When I first moved to Ohio last year, there were several things we/I had to get used to, other than being married and having a new house...most recently what I am finding out to be is NO jobs in OH!! Oh and...it gets really cold here! It actually snows, not like in TN where we have a flurry and everyone freaks! ha! I had to adjust to being lonely, not working...missing home...but thanks to God we found our church, Grace Baptist. We have been able to meet so many new people there. We also had the priviledge to meet people through Bryan's work, and by way of new friendships meet other people.


We have found so many new restaurants--we have new favorites, just like back home. There are such neat things to do here as well. We traveled to Columbus, Dayton and Cleveland...we went to some Reds games. Bryan and I have been able to experience a lot of fun memories the past year. We learned to love really cold winters, wind, traffic, and interesting food. Our families and friends have been so great to come and visit...we miss you all!

Welcome!
