Class of 2007 Christmas Party

Every year, I have the girls that I graduated with over for a Christmas party. This year, not everyone was able to come, but we still had a lot of fun! I honestly think that we had the closest class out of any of the classes at Sherwood. I am so thankful that we have all not only kept in touch, but we have also stayed really good friends!! 

 We invited April and Abbey to the party, just because we love them! They graduated a year before us.

One thing that I love about these girls, is that several of us have been friends since preschool.We have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of each other, but we have loved each other and supported each other through it all. I also love that each one of these girls are strong Christians, so I know that I can always count on them to pray for me or encourage me when I need it.  I always look forward to this party so we can talk about old memories and also have fun making new memories. I am so proud of all of these girls and where they are in life right now. I seriously do love these girls. Sherwood may not have always been perfect, but I am so thankful that I had a perfect class with the perfect people. 

My early birthday party..

My birthday is not until December 21, but we decided to go ahead and do my family birthday today since this week is normally hectic for most people! I hate that I do not have very many pictures to post, but I know that other family members took some on their cameras!! I was so blessed to spend the day with my family, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and boyfriend!!!!

 We went to church this morning.. and then everyone came over to my house for lunch and cake!

My friend Geordan was able to come!

 I love my family so much! I dont know where I would be without them!!

 Aunt Manly and Avery.

This was my first birthday without my Aunt Melanie. She always made my birthday so special, so I knew that this year was going to be different. However, my Uncle Tod gave me an extremely special "birth-mas" (birthday and christmas) present. He gave me Aunt Melanies pandora bracelet. I was already in tears when I opened this, but then he told me the story of this bracelet. This was the last present that he gave my Aunt before she passed away. It was his anniversary present to her in July. I feel so blessed to have this. I will forever treasure this bracelet. 

Thank yall so much for making this day special for me!! I love each and every one of you!!! I could not ask for a better group of people to spend this day with!!! God sure knew what he was doing when he formed our family!! Thank yall for being so encouraging to me and loving me unconditionally. I wouldnt be who I am today without yall!!

Girls Christmas party.

Last night, I was able to get together with some of my best friends for a Christmas party! I must admit, I have some of the best friends in the world. This was such a wonderful party, full of laughter and fun conversations!!!! The one thing i LOVE about this group of friends is that we grew up in church together and have been friends for atleast 15 years!!!!

Thanksgiving 2012

This year was our year to spend Thanksgiving with Mimi and Poppy. We went to their house for lunch and then all went to Putt Putt to go bowling... This has become a tradition!

Instead of doing black friday at 6 am... we decided to go to the mall at midnight... This is how crazy Belk was at midnight!!!
