Wedding, honeymoon and our first married Christmas together!

2009-01-07T08:40:00.000-08:00

Miles and I got married Dec. 13th at 6pm at First Christian Church in Denton. The wedding was beautiful and it seemed to be over in minuets. Here are some snap shots that I got before the ceremony.

The Honeymoon!

Saturday night we stayed at the Wildwood inn, it was soo beautiful! And the next day we flew to Savannah. Monday morning we got up and started exploring. But not before taking in the amazing veiw from our hotel room. This picture was taken from the balcony of our room.

You can see from this picture that there is a street right beside our hotel. Going straight down East River street, it takes you to Historic downtown Savannah. This next picture was the first statue that we found, it's called the waving lady and the story about her is that she waved at every boat that came into the harbor waiting for her fiance to return from sea. She waved forty years until she died still waiting for him to return.

Here are just some of our favorite's

Fort Jackson

This is a statue of John Wessley

Here were are on the steps of the Kehoe House

On Wednesday we went to the beach, the water was really cold, but it was so much fun and we picked up shells.

This picture was taken at Fort Pulaski on Tybee Island

This was taken at Fort James Jackson

Our honeymoon was so much fun, everyday we had something fun to do. It was sad when it was over, but we were also glad to get home before christmas and get settled.

Christmas

For Christmas we spent Christmas Eve at Nana and Grandaddy's (Miles' moms side of the family) We had tons of fun and I got some great videos of the guys singing christmas carols. Take note of Richard Morgans arm in the first video.

On Christmas day we went to my Nana's (my moms side) and had lunch. My parents gave Miles a drill, which we used that evening to hang some shelves in the apartment.

This picture is crooked for some reason.... but it is a pic of my brother, I regifted something that I had got in the White Elephant draw the day before, it's called Paula Deans But Massage meat tenderizer.

Okay, I do not know how to post youtube videos on blogger, but this link takes you to one I really like. I got it off of Wendy Provences blog and it totally sums up what I think Christmas has evolved into. Me and Miles were just talking earlier today about how expensive Christmas is. This video kinda sums up what we would like it to really be about.

Summer into Fall

2008-09-13T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well, this summer has been great, but I am glad it is over and am really ready for some cooler weather. Me and Miles went to the Botanical Gardens a couple weeks ago. It was fun! I had a lecture to go to for my Botany class and he was sweet enough to drive me there. The flowers were really pretty. This was the best picture I have of us.... Its out of focus, I'll let Miles have credit for that, lol

Fish!

Here are some random pictures that I have taken this year of my family.

This was Christmas actually....

So serious

I didn't actually take this, I just woke up one morning and it was on my camera.... Unfortunately Randy takes all sorts of gross pictures on my camera(without asking). This is one of the nicer ones. Im pretty sure this is what he needs to do for a living.

Weldon and Duke, see how duke has his paw on Weldon (were pretty sure that duke thinks he's a human) It's so cute!

One morning my mom came and asked me to take a picture of her goat. It had hopped on a shed and was standing on it's hind legs to reach the leaves... goats will do anything for leaves!

Wedding Plans

2008-08-16T18:14:00.000-07:00

Well... in June I got engaged! I'm taking tons of pictures so I am going to use my blog to make sort of an online photo album for myself. The wedding is December 13th and me and my mom have gotten lots done! I'm really terrible about blogging since I don't really communicate with anyone through blogger but this is a great way to save the memories.

My mom kind of set up an example of what she wanted the tables to look like. The bouquet that I am holding is mine. The smaller is the one I will throw and the white is my bridesmaids. The other arrangements are some ideas for the tables.

Exessories

My slippers

The flower girl basket ... its soo cute!

My headpiece, its kinda hard to tell but its pearls

And last but not least, the guest book. I thought this book was perfect for us with all the black and white photos of little kids. It's adorable!

Four more monthes and we will be married.... it's exciting!!

Spring Break and Easter

2008-03-29T19:45:00.000-07:00

This month has been totally crazy. Me and Miles went to the Fort Worth Zoo the saterday spring break week started and we had soo much fun! I took lots of great pictures!

Good Friends...

One night during spring break my best friend, Erin, who I have known since I was like four came over and spent the night and then the next day we went shopping at Kohls, it was alot of fun!

I also got to hang out with Brad and Colleen, we spent four years of highschool together and so it was fun to see them. We went and had a late lunch at Chilis. The best picture was a lil blury unfortunatly.

Easter with my Dad's Family....

My brother is following around my little cousin while she easter egg hunts. Poor Gracie, she is the youngest grandchild out of 11 and the only one that still hunts eggs. But it makes it fun for us because we get to watch her.

Goats....

My mom's goats are all kidding and we have sooo many baby goats. Interesting story.... the other night, I am woken up around 11:30 by my mom tapping on my window... actually banging... she was telling me to go get a dry towel and to come out to the barn. Well... she had a goats that had two babys in the dirt and the mother could not get up to take care of them. So we dried them off. Later, when my mom realized that she was still not done we had to pull one more. It didnt make it... but this poor goat! She had three babys and she is so tiny. We are bottle feeding the two babys and they are so sweet. I will post pictures of them later.

Snow Day

2008-03-17T09:10:00.000-07:00

So Texas had a snow day! We didnt go to school and everything! I got some great pictures of our house and the boys. Weldon LOVED the snow. He was hilarious. Building snow men, and attempting to make an igloo.

The boys had to sweep snow off of the barn so that it wouldnt cave on the goats, it was that heavy! It only lasted two days, but it was great. I loved getting a day off from going to work and school. It was perfect timing too, I got to stay home and work on an english paper. It will probably be another year before it looks like this again. Well.... I take that back... You NEVER know about Texas......

Do you ever wish your closet looked like a picture out of an Ikea catalog? The other day I found an article on MSN about organizing tips. They had some great ideas!

This closet is soo clean... the labeled bins at the top is a great idea.

I this next picture look at the jewlry holder beside the mirror. Isnt that a great idea! I actually have a friend who has made something like this from stuff from Hobby Lobby. Im going to have to make one!

About 3 monthes later

2008-03-04T14:03:00.000-08:00

So I have decided that I am going to start blogging more... whats the point in having one if I never update it right? I have some great christmas pictures that I havent even put on the computer yet. So as of right now I have figured out a way to cram my school schedual so that I can graduate in December from NCTC.... The job that I want ( a teachers aid) requires me to have one, so that is one of my biggest goals for 2008!! Im excited and just wanted to share the good news with the world!

It's been awhile....

2008-01-03T09:07:00.001-08:00

Well, it has been several months since I have posted last. It is amazing to think about all that has happend in just a few short months. I passed all my classes at NCTC, and I got a new digital camera, it was great to have during the holidays, so that was a good purchase. Christmas was great, me and Miles spent Christmas together, it was hard to figure out a schedual for which family events to go to but it worked out and we are glad we did it! Christmas break is going by way to fast and the spring semester will be here so soon. It is hard to believe that it is now 2008. God has blessed me so much throughout 2007 and it is kind of scary thinking about all of the upcoming changes for this year but I know through all of the challenges I will grow closer to God. One thing I was thinking about this morning (which is what prompted this post) is how lucky I am to have the great family that I do. I have been more blessed than I have really realized. Yup, all in all 2007 was a great year, but I am glad it is over......

Introduction

2007-09-08T17:57:00.000-07:00

Well, today I realized that I have not actually introduced myself yet, I just started babbling away! My name is Jordan, and I got a blog because one day my boyfriend Miles calls me up and says "go look at my blog at get one too". So anyways ..... I actually like blogger alot, probably more so than myspace or facebook.

This is me and Miles above fooling around in the car one day with a disposable camera. We have some fun times! I think this was taken about six monthes ago, it was at the mall parking lot. I always take pictures with sun glasses on so if a blink I dont waste a picture, so we both put on sun glasses just to goof off.

Accepting Things

2007-09-06T13:41:00.000-07:00

Well, sometimes for some reason, things happen in life that I dont exactly understand.... I guess what I'm learning right now is to just trust God's will and his perfect timing. Okay, I just re read this and it sounds kinda depressing. But on a brighter note, my family is considering getting land off of the red river and I am VERY excited. It will be a great spot to fish! I havent been fishing in a long time. When I was little my brothers wouldnt take the fish off the hook when they caught something, so that got to be something that I did! Luckily they grew out of that fast. But yeah I caint wait to go land searching. My family having this oppertunity is another thing that God has unexpectedly blessed us by!

Communicating with Miles

2007-08-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I have never done this before, and I am not very good with technology..... I never would have even thought to do this but Miles got me to sign up! I think this could actually be really fun! Hopefully soon I will figure out what I am doing!
