Oh Snow Oh My!

Well, this is getting ridiculous.
Fayetteville has had days of snow, ice, and slippery roads.
Even more is supposedly on the way.

Some snow fun, plus some, in photos…

Boxing, Candy, & New Years too

It’s only the first month of the year,
but January has already been
jam packed.

There was New Years,
a day trip to Little Rock,
lots of basketball games,
a trip to Arizona,
a few lazy days,
and just some good old fashion fun.

Here’s most of it in photos.
Duh.

New Years.

Christmas 2010 in Photos

Christmas has come and gone
and all that’s left are
the few million photos below
the lovely gifts I received
and the tree in the living room
that I’m too lazy to take down.

Sadly, the holidays mean that
some friends go out of town.
GL and I got in the Christmas spirit
before she jetted off to Los Angeles.

We celebrated with
cheap champagne
torturing our dogs
and a Christmas party with friends.

Happily, the holidays also mean
that out of town friends pass through Fville.
This often works out perfectly
for Todd’s oh-so-close-to-Christmas Birthday.

We stuck with tradition
and made reservations at Logan’s Roadhouse.
Years ago it started off as a joke,
but then we realized
how good those dang rolls are.

We ended up at a random bar
The Elixir Lounge…
in the Comfort Inn.
We heard they turned an old room
into a bar & had to check it out.

One of the best things
about this Christmas
was that I got to spend it
with my momma
and our family dog, Henry.
For the first time
in four years.

Christmas 2010

We couldn’t wait
and traded gifts early.
Todd and I received s
Special Edition Keurig Coffee Maker
and Hotel Collection Egyptian Cotton Sheets.

She gave me other goodies too,
like these Memphis treats.

Todd and I decided
to do some upgrading
as our presents to each other.

The most exciting is…
we got a new camera!

And we both upgraded
to the iPhone 4.

On Christmas Eve
we all headed to Tulsa
(new camera in tow)
for a couple relaxing of days.

One of the best parts about our trip to Tulsa,
was Todd’s sister’s present to their dad.
She’s pregnant and surprised him
with an ultrasound picture…
that told him she is having a BOY!

A very Merry Christmas, indeed.

I’ll leave you with my favorite Christmas song.
It pretty much sums up my southern childhood holidays.
In the best way ever, of course.

It’s winter.
My camera and I have gone into hibernation.
I’ve been busy with work, busy with life.
But here are a few things I’ve been up to.

Capturing pink southern skies.

December Me

Staying warm.

December Me

And cozy.

December Me

Despite winter frosties.

December Me

And ice cold BIG beers.

We took apart & said goodbye to our
JC Penney vintage stove.
A very goodbye it was.
Now I’m finally cooking on a new stove… with gas!

I took a quick work trip
north to Kansas City.

for burgers and more Boulevard Wheat.

In other news,
I’m headed to Arizona in a few weeks
for a little work and a little football game

Yes, I'll be there.

Yep, I get to attend the
BCS National Championship game
with Auburn and Oregon.
It’s pretty much
the Super Bowl of college football.
So yeah, I’m excited.

With the holidays approaching,
I hope to blog more than I have been.
So, see ya soon…
