catch up

so i know i have been seriously slacking in the blogging department.  my excuse--i don't really have one.  it's just been a busy christmas/new year.

we had a beyond wonderful christmas.  we are so extremely blessed, and i thank God every day for all of the wonderful blessings he has bestowed upon us.  we started our christmas extravaganza here in charleston on the sunday of christmas week.  then headed to aberdeen on monday for our 3 christmases there.  we went to my grandparents' monday night, finished christmas shopping in tupelo & helped my mom cook and get everything ready (for her christmas on wednesday) on tuesday.  continued cooking and getting ready for everything on wednesday; then christmas with her (my mom's) family wednesday night.  then headed to aberdeen to spend the night with my dad and teresa.  had christmas eve breakfast and gifts with them thursday morning.  then immediately headed back here for christmas eve church service then christmas with ju's family at his granddad's that night.  christmas day morning, we started with gifts at ju's parents with his mom, dad, sister, and brother; then breakfast at his aunt tridy's with the entire roberson clan.  wow, i'm tired just from the recap!  we got so many wonderful gifts (including my new car!!) and had such a great time with all of our family!





for new year's, we were an old married couple :)  although we did have options, we decided we would rather just stay home with each other.  (now, everyone who knows me knows that i'm a g'ma and go to bed around 9 every night!)  so, i did not stay awake to ring in 2010.  oh well!

since new year's, we have been trying to get this house in order!  see, the guest bedroom started out as the room where we kept wedding presents and extra clothes that wouldn't fit in our room, etc.  therefore, it has looked like a hurricane came through since we got married.  well, we finally got it cleaned up!  hooray!!  i feel much better now.

did i mention that we finally organized our laundry room?!  as part of our christmas from ju's parents, they bought us a deep freeze and some shelves for the laundry room.  and what a difference it all made!  you can see the floor in there now!  everything is so organized--it's fantastic!!!

that's really about it for december and january.  this month has just flown by!  it seems like christmas was just yesterday, and now it's a day away from february (my b-day month :)!!  alright, well time for me to get ready for church; then i'm going to enjoy a relaxing sunday at home with the hubby :)

side note:  i will do better about blogging!
