2 years baby!!!

Matt and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary tomorrow. I cannot believe it has been 2 years. I know everyone says it but it has gone by so fast. We have done a lot in 2 years and I am so thankful for a funny, loving, sweet hearted husband. I cannot wait for this next year.

We don't have any big plans. Were going out to eat tomorrow night and then celebrating more this weekend.

Here are some pictures from the big day!

Give Thanks

This will be a first, we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year. I am so excited to have my family come in and be with us for a few days. Unfortunately my Dad and sister will be in Colorado over Thanksgiving because Hannah has a college basketball tournament. It just wont be the same without them. So at the house we will have my mom, my brother and my Grandma. I cannot wait.

I have decided to cook my turkey in a roaster. I wanted to have the oven available for all the casseroles and other things so I decided on the roaster. I have never cooked meat like this in a roaster so I hope it turns out good.

On Friday we are going to be a little crazy and go shopping. We do not have a big Christmas tree yet so I am hoping to find one on sale. Then on Saturday matt is going to put up our Christmas lights and then we are all going to the new Cowboy stadium to see Tech play against Baylor. I am so excited to be at the game with all our friends and family.

It is going to be a great weekend. I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and I will try and post pictures of how the turkey turns out.

I would also love for my dining room table to look like either of these...

A Green Christmas

This year will be our first Christmas in the new house. I am so excited to decorate. Last year I found some Pottery Barn stockings that have inspired me for my color scheme.

I ordered 2 Green stockings.

I love this wreath from Pottery Barn.

I bought a wreath and ornaments from hobby lobby and am going to try and recreate it.

I will post some pictures of my progress soon.

It's going to be a Green Christmas!

I <3 NY

I love New York. My first time to go to the city was with Matt over Labor day weekend. My sister in law and her husband just moved there and we were fortunate enough to stay with them. They had the best loft that looked over the Hudson river. While we were there I had never walked so much! Every night we got back to the loft my legs just ached. Im sure Kathryn and Brian thought we were such "tourists". Here are a few pictures...

Kathryn and I on their Lofts balcony...amazing view!

Here we are exhausted after a long day of shopping!

Aubrie and Jake's Wedding (3 new posts below)

Our last wedding this summer was for my cousin Aubrie. It was so much fun, it brought back so many memories from our wedding since it was in Fort Worth. Aubrie's reception was Dessert and Dancing! I had never seen so many sweets before, it was amazing. Not to mention Jakes mom makes the most delicious punch and that was served at the reception. Here are some pictures.

Saying Goodbye

4th of July

For the 4th of July we went back to El Paso to be with my family. We had a great time. We were outside a lot by the pool and ate way to much.

The beautiful view from our back yard!

Amarillo by Morning...

So I have been horrible at updating my blog and am planning on getting better. This weekend I surprised Matt with tickets to the George Strait concert at the new Cowboys stadium. The whole thing was amazing. We had a great time, Matt was in Heaven when he started singing Amarillo by Morning! 

Our friends Michelle and Trever went with us. Thanks for helping me get the tickets Michelle. 

Here are some pictures from the night.
