Avatar and A Change.

Last night Rob, my sister Sara and I went to the movies and saw "Avatar". My sister had already seen it and said it was great. And some of our other friends had seen it and said it was great, so before it left the theaters we wanted to see it so we could experience the movie. When I saw the previews for the movie, I wasn't really that interested in seeing it. It just didn't look like my type of movie. Let me just tell you, if you haven't seen this movie you should go now and see it! It was GREAT!! It's 3D and just the whole experience and the graphics were amazing. I'm ready to go watch it again.

Please excuse the way my blog looks right now. I am in the process of changing some things. It takes a little while to do it and right now I am tired of sitting at the computer. I just didn't want anyone to think i was going to leave it looking like this. I hope everyone is have a lovely rainy Saturday. I have been enjoying laying around with my husband and Allie dog.

Christmas, New Year's and a China Cabinet!

Ok, I know it's been a while since I have posted. Now that the busyness of Christmas is over I will try to get better at posting more often. This is just going to be a random post about Christmas and other things that have been going on.

We had such a wonderful Christmas. We start off in Auburn Christmas Eve with my dads side of the family and then Christmas Day we head to Birmingham to be with my moms side of the family. We are so blessed to have such a amazing family. We had a great Christmas with a few surprises! The day after Christmas I got up with my mom at 6 A.M. and we headed out to a few of the Christmas sales. Usually the day after Christmas stores open super early so you have to be there when they are open to get the good deals. That was not the case this year. Mom and I were going really early and there were only a few places open. Most places didn't open til like 8 or 9. We got a few good things, It was just fun spending that time with my mom. The day after Christmas is my sister Anna's birthday so we all gathered for lunch at Botega to celebrate. Afterwards we did a little shopping. All in all it was a great Christmas spent with great family! I am sorry that I didn't take any pictures at Christmas.

New Years, Rob and I went to Montgomery to celebrate with our friends Amanda & Leon. We met up with a few other couples to eat dinner and then we headed to Amanda and Leon's to ring in the new year. We didn't do anything crazy, just watched the ball drop on tv and then we tried to stay up til 12 our time so we could ring in the new year then go to bed...haha, we are gettting old. 2009 sure did go by quickly but I am excited to see what 2010 will bring.

My cousin Julie and her husband Clay just bought a new house in Birmingham so before they moved in they wanted to get rid of a few things they didn't need anymore. One of those thing just so happened to be this corner china cabinet. Our dining room in our house in Troy is pretty small so in order to be able to fit a table in there we would need a corner china cabinet so it wouldn't take up so much room. Well, my cousin offered to sell us hers and I couldn't have been more excited. It wouldn't fit in my car of course so they loaded it in my moms car and my mom brought it to Troy. When we got it put in it's place and all cleaned up and everything put in it, it looks GREAT!! I am so excited to finally have a place to put all my beautiful crystal and china I got when we got married. It had been stored under one of our guest beds and now I can display it. Here are some pictures of this great china cabinet.

I hope that everyone had a great Holiday! And I hope everyone has had a great start to the new year! Be back soon!
