my week in iPhones photos

^^^Jeremy took half the day off and surprised me with my favorite lunch during my break at work!^^^

^^^If you've ever pinned "4 ingredient peanut butter cookies" on Pinterest.... just go ahead and delete that pin now.  They don't turn out, are more flat than pancakes, and taste awful.^^^

^^^I got to listen to Jeremy teach the youth group at our church on Wednesday night.  He did a fab job!^^^

^^^hit the 6 months until Christmas mark! And the ABC Family app celebrated with a Xmas movie marathon. Of course, I participated!^^^

^^^weekly dinner and 24 watching with my family is a highlight of our week! Jack is so awesome.^^^

^^^I had to satisfy my Christmas longing with a good Christmas read from the library! Finished it the next day. It may have made me even more ready for the holidays... oops!^^^

^^^went to bed craving scrambled eggs so badly! I opted out of washing my hair the next morning just to make time for eggs before work. It was worth it!^^^

^^^made some homemade light ranch dressing that is so so good! I'll have to post the recipe later on the blog. I will definitely be making more, and I'm done with the bottled stuff!^^^

^^^celebrated Jeremy turning in his last assignment for school with some Chinese takeout!^^^

here's to 23!

This year for my birthday, we didn't do a whole lot.  I was still sick most days and not feeling very good from all that first trimester fun ;) So the weekend before, Jeremy took me to get a pedicure (that takes on a whole new level of perfection when you're pregnant and you're feet hurt like you never knew they could hurt), and then a little shopping and to dinner at Zio's. Then the night of my birthday, my family went to eat at Fuzzy's downtown for some awesome tacos and the best darn queso that's ever been made. Then headed to the mall for a birthday cookie. (normally I don't even like cookies, but pregnancy makes you do all sorts of strange things.) It was a fun night, and we got some fun pictures that I wanted to share. I have a feeling 23 is going to be the best year yet! Can't believe next year I'll have a six-month-old Maverick in my arms. Can't wait!     

   

catch up!

In October, we kicked off Fall with painting pumpkins with my family! I always look forward to this every year, even though mine never turn out very good! Later in the month, our good friends moved to Colorado. We were so excited for their new adventure, but sad to be so far away! Then we celebrated Haley and Kyle with their first wedding shower, Jeremy's sister got engaged, we enjoyed the first glimpse of fall weather one night when we got new living rom furniture, then we supported the American Sign Language Walk at the OKC Zoo, and finally, we had a blast at a costume party with friends! 

We also had some new pictures made of Jeremy and I thanks to the fabulous KatyLynn Photography....

 In November, we got to see an old friend that we haven't seen in years! It was so fun to spend the weekend with her!! Then we celebrated my mom's birthday with a girls trip to Tulsa to see White Christmas, went to the OSU vs Baylor game (our first OSU football game together), enjoyed the first snow of the season, and celebrated Thanksgiving morning with pumpkin muffins, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and wrapping Christmas presents!! Then we shared a lovely day with family ,eating and playing games, but most importantly, thanking God for the blessings we so undeservedly receive from Him! 

I have too many Christmas pictures to include in this post, so that will come soon! Have a wonderful Sunday!
