Perspective

Ok, so I have a confession, Mark and I are LOST fanatics. There, I admit it. They say that's the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. However, this has not always been the case. Last year, Christmas of 2007 to be exact, was when this obsession, for me, began. Mark had always been a fan of the show from day one. Not I. When we first began dating, I made so much fun of him for watching what I called, " an upscale Gilligan's Island." He begged me for almost two years to watch the show, but I refused. FINALLY, since I had two weeks of vacation, I sat down to watch the first episode of Season 1, thinking the whole time that I would certainly not care for it. Well, needless to say, by the end of the very first episode, I was hooked. I mean I was like someone on crack, I just couldn't get enough. One Saturday, Mark and I got into a HUGE fight because he refused to watch anymore. ( In his defense, we had watched about six episodes in row) I just couldn't believe that he refused to watch anymore since he was the one who had gotten me hooked in the first place. I realize now that I was being ridiculous, but at the time, I was truly mad at him....until he sat me down and made me watch the video below. If you are a true fan of LOST, you will most certainly find the humor in the video, if not, well, it's still funny.

Holiday Recap

The holidays went by way too fast this year. Below is a slideshow of pictures from our family trip to NYC and my annual girls trip. Each year my friends from college and I get together to shop, eat, and celebrate Christmas. This year (well, technically last year) we chose to meet in Charlotte. Our friend Isabelle lives there, and she was so sweet to let us all crash (and trash) at her home. As you can see, we had a blast. Mark and I spent Christmas in Corinth, but were able to celebrate with his parents after Christmas. We had a wonderful holiday and hope that our blog friends did as well. Happy New Year...20 days late! :)

4 MONTHS!!!!

I decided to finally sit down and update this blog since it's been 4 MONTHS!! I realized last night than an entire season has passed since my last post. I think that might be a record. Mark and I have been busy working and just hanging out with friends and family. I won't bore you (if there's anyone who still checks this thing) with a recap of the last four months. I will say that Mark and I, along with my mom and dad, are leaving for NYC this Friday to visit my sister. I will definitely be posting pictures from our trip. This will be sort of like a two year "engagement" anniversary trip for Mark and me. We were engaged almost two years ago in NYC. We're jamming a lot of stuff into one weekend, lots of dining out, sight seeing, shopping, and broadway. I have been counting down the days. We're going to celebrate my sister's graduation. She just graduated with honors from the French Culinary Institute as a pastry chef. I'm so proud of her! Mark is already talking about how much weight we're both gonna gain once she moves back to Corinth! I've missed her so much. In honor of her, I'll post a picture of a cake she made while she was home for Thanksgiving. She made this thing like it was nothing! I was amazed, and I promise you, it tasted just as heavenly as it looks! More posts to come!

Oh, and I had to add a random picture of Mark with Oscar on Thanksgiving. Oscar had too much turkey, and this is how he was the rest of the night! He was just like a little noodle! Love him!

Cardboard Testimony

A friend that I work with told me to watch this video. You need to silence my playlist in order to hear it. I may be the only person who hasn't heard of this You Tube video, but I wanted to share it anyway. It's wonderful!
