6 Whole Months YAY!!!

The Wheelers have officially celebrated their six month anniversary. We celebrated by going to one of our favorite restaurants and to a movie, nothing to big, we are saving that for our one year. Oh, we also were a little embarrassed by Brother David, Sunday in Church. It was not so bad it was actually funny. Meagan sat with us, which was a joy, well she leaned over to tell me that he was going to say something about being married for 6 months before my face got to red but, she was to late. I do have to say that the last six months have been such a blessing. Each day I seem to grow, more and more in love with my wonderful husband. I am sure the way I feel now for my love will be completely different in six months. Deeper? Stronger? It does not matter we are enjoying every bit of life together.

I am Freaking Out!!!

I am freaking out real bad. I think I have lost my ever loving mind. A couple of months ago I suggested to my wonderful husband that it would be fun to invite both of our families
( parents/brothers/sisters) to our house for Christmas dinner, no biggie right? Wrong,
all wrong, instead of my enjoyable, fun family who will not be joining us for this wonderful time of the year, Stephens family will be, ALL OF THEM. I don't know what I am going to do, I have never done this kind of thing. I really wish I had my family here to keep me company. I'm sure we will have a great time, it's just the thing of as soon as we get done eating in know how it is going to go. I am going to be left alone with all the cleaning, my mother-in-law and Stephens grandmother possibly Aunt to play rook or Scrabble or some other silly game in which I care nothing about, all the while Stephen, his father, Grandfather and brother maybe cousins, will be out side throwing football without a care in the world. I really do have wonderful in-laws promise I just get tired sometimes. All that aside, I am super happy that I get to spend Christmas morning with my handsome husband. I'm very eager to get up on Christmas morning together open all the presents we got each other, eat a wonderful light Christmas breakfast before all the chaos starts. Please pray I do not lose my sanity. I have my hands full.

Oh do any of you know of any activities to do as a group besides playing rook?

Cadillac Couch

We bought a couch Saturday YAY!! It didn't take quite as long as I thought it would to agree on a couch we liked. I would have taken a picture of it but, as of last Thursday night we are out of a camera for now. I will try to describe the couch as best I can. It is chocolate brown with blue throw pillows, it's about 12 feet long (sectional) and it does not fit in a 15x 14 living room very well. Saturday night we stayed up after mid-night arranging and rearranging the living room, we finally decided that we would just pull it away from the walls into the middle of the floor, so there is walking room all the way around. I felt so bad for Stephen after the arranging was over, he was so worn out. It is the Cadillac of all couches it cracks me up to look at it. I love the couch so much though, it is very nice to have something new to enjoy together. We also bought a new dinning room table that is going to look fabulous in our kitchen, we get to pick the table up Tuesday night.
I can't wait!

Furniture Shopping.

Last night Stephen and I went furniture shopping. It was blast to be together, but my taste and Stephens taste is completely 100% different. We have pretty much decided that we lean more towards a sectional couch, there are so many different styles of sectional couches. We found two last night one style was contemporary but couchey (I think, I just made up a word) the other was plain and, just a couch. We could not agree on a single one. I can tell this is going to be a long process to picking out the perfect living room suite. I would have taken pics of the ones we were looking at but, I um... sort of broke my camera. I had the camera sitting up in a chair to take a sweet picture of us and, it fell off now the lens won't go back in. Oops...... Sorry mom no pictures for a little while till I can get it fixed.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

(Oh if you get a live tree from wal-mart undo all the twining outside then shake.)

We put up our Christmas tree Sunday night. It was alot of fun putting it together. We made such a mess of all the needles good thing we have hard wood flooring, other wise we would be cleaning needles up for the next six months.

Stephen and I went out Friday night looking for that special ornament for us. We found the perfect one! It was the last one they had I was happy we got to it before anyone else.

Last year we put up a tree in Stephens apartment to be a little festive. Stephen let me put up the star last year, so this year it was his turn.

Thanksgiving weekend was a blast!!!

This past Thanksgiving weekend has been a blast. I told Stephen we had to take pictures of everything we did, since it was our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. Wednesday night we headed to Nashville to spend some time with my parents. Stephen wanted to stop at Krystals for a bite to eat, it was really good since I was super hungry.



Thursday for Thanksgiving day, we all went to Stephens grandmothers house.

My dad had to work, so Ms. Becky offered to let my mom and sisters eat with us. It was a great day, I had so much fun with everyone. I ate way to much turkey and dressing, I think I even got to nap a little on the couch. Oh! we got to see Wilson, he is walking now it is amazing to see how much he as grown .

Stephen bought a 9mm gun Friday he was so proud of it. He wanted to show me how to use it so, Saturday after we got up, and Stephen made a very yummy breakfast for us we headed out to the 11 acres to shoot the gun.

It was very easy to handle not that I'm going to be using it ever, its just for emergency situations We got to also walk around on the land since we really have not been able to during summer with all the brush in the way. We found a tree that was deformed, then we got to looking and it has a very old wire fence running strait through it.
I thought that it was neat. We also came across fresh rubbings on a few trees for all you deer hunters out there, Stephen was excited.
