Manna from Heaven Has Finally Fallen in Oklahoma City

While looking for a snow cone stand the other night we had a great surprise.

The grand opening of the first Chicken Express in Oklahoma City! Happy Day!

...On another note I am in the process of another upholstery project.
Here is where I am at
 

Knowing my track record with project, lets hope I finish this one by the end of the year!!! :)

Helms, Underwood & Cook (& Cooper)

We have had some super exciting news!!! 

If you don't already know and can't guess from the post title...Call Chris!

A Day in the Life of a Law Student

 Before law school, I could see Chris whenever I wanted. Heck some days I would ride Chris's bus for hours. It was Wonderful! Looking back I can see how much I took for granted all that time I was able to spend with my Sweety.

Since Chris's started law school last August, time spent with him has become pretty scarce. We knew this going in, so before his first day of class we decided that once a week we would have a date night. (Unless he has finals, or a brief, or a research exam, or a blue book exam) Usually our date happens on the weekends. 

A couple weekends ago Chris took me to see where he now spends the majority of his time.

When not in class there are only a couple places Chris 'gets' to hang out.
The Library

Specifically, Study Room 233
In between class from 7:30AM to wheneverPM  this is where Chris can be found.

Whenever Chris needs to take a small break from Room 223 or I need to call and ask him what he wants for dinner tonight. There is a sitting area right outside his study room.

When Chris has to write a brief or has a research exam, he 'gets' to wander the long isles of research books. 

When it is time for class, Chris walks 'across' campus (about 2 min) to Sarkeys Law Center.

His first stop if he doesn't already have his book is his locker.

Then on to class. 

If you know Chris, you will know why this is his preferred spot.

(this is his crim law classroom...the bane of this semester)


Scattered about the Law Center and the Law Library are little gems of art and small trophy shelves.

Sometimes after a hard day at Law School Chris stops for a small snack at Golden Chick, the most comparable chicken to Chicken Express in Oklahoma City to be found.

Then he comes home to me and we eat dinner, watch a couple episodes of Big Bang Theory, and go to bed to Repeat again the next day.


I am so proud of Chris for all his hard work in Law School. Almost one year down and two to go!!

Cold Cold Cold

It has been so Cold Cold Cold here in Oklahoma. So we lit our first fire in our fireplace!!!

Sorry about the crappy picture it was my taken with my phone. I love having a fireplace...not only is in warm, but you can cook s'mores!!

I also got in the mood to put up a Christmas tree. My aunts Cherie and Kelly gave me this tree since they didn't want it anymore. I went out to Wal-Mart and bought a ton of ornaments and flowers to put on the tree. I had a silver and white theme going on. Then I got home and put all the ornaments on the tree and..I HATED it. So I took all the ornaments back to Wal-Mart and went another route. I had some Christmas ribbon laying around and just started wrapping. I am loving it! It isn't perfect yet. I am still adjusting and it needs a tree skirt...which I am in the process of making!!! Ill add an update when I finish!!

I am love Christmas!!!

Christmas for Thanksgiving!

Over Thanksgiving we were able to go to my parents house. Because this year we are not going to be at my parents house for Christmas we did our sibling exchange during Thanksgiving! It was so nice to spend time with the fam. It has been a while since we were all together. Everyone was there but Rachel, but she has a pretty legit reason...she is on bed rest. We were able to skype her after our thanksgiving meal and that was fun!

Every time we have taken a trip to or from Oklahoma there has been crazy weather. This trip was no exception. Check out this crazy fog we drove through for about 2 hrs.

Here are some pictures of the Christmas exchange.

I got some sewing stuff: pins, safety pins, elastic, marking pen and a tape measure. I really needed it all since I have been doing some sewing!

 

 

 I had Matthew! He got some cool T-Shirts!

Chris had Aaron, for some reason we don't have a picture of him opening his present but he got Fievel Goes West and An American Tale!

 Can you guess whose present this was??

These are the presents that I made for all the girls. Leather Bow Bracelets and Hex Nut Bracelets.

 We also gave my mom and dad their Christmas presents. My mom asked me to etch the Charity scripture for her and my dad wanted 125 grain 30-06 Remington bullets!

Judging from the leftover paper it everyone had a pretty good time!

This is Dalin pretending to be a turtle...

We also celebrated Bryan's birthday. He is such a kid...check out the train cake that he requested!
