My mom came to town the Sunday after Christmas to spend the day with us. She was not able to make it for my birthday or Christmas due to the weather. She came bearing gifts, homemade lasagna, and a boston cream pie. All my favorites! :)
For last 10 years or so I've been saving my favorite t-shirts for my mom to make a t-shirt quilt for me. We had talked about doing it together but never found the time. It was a great surprise to open one of my gifts and see she had finished it! I LOVE IT! There are so many great memories on that quilt. It has been on the couch, keeping us warm while watching TV, every day since then.

My very first Hog bowl game (1999):
The white shirt is an honor roll shirt from senior year (1998)
Mardi Gras t-shirt from the last year Kammy, Lexi and I went (2003)
I can still see my step dad Jim wearing this blue t-shirt. There are several of his shirts included which makes this quilt even more special since he passed away in 2007.
I went to the Okra Fest with my grandparents and brought this shirt home for my mom(1992):
The first time I went to Midnight Madness(1998):
Christmas Eve, I got all the presents wrapped and under the tree and then Mike and I watched Christmas Vacation and The Christmas Story. It started snowing hard when we decided to head to bed and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep with the anticipation of having a white Christmas in the morning. I did manage to sleep in till 8 and woke up to 4 inches of snow! We spent the morning opening the gifts we got for each other and the afternoon with Mike's family.

Presents!
White Christmas Morning!
I had to work on my birthday, that's what happens when your birthday is two days before Christmas and you work in retail, but my boss did surprise me with this awesome double layer cookie cake!
Oh my word, I'm so very behind on blogging! It's been a busy few weeks and will be non stop for a couple more weeks.
Thanksgiving was wonderful! My mom came to town the day before and went to the movies to watch, The Blind Side. I cried through the whole thing It definitely made me feel so thankful for who and what I have in my life. Thanksgiving morning we got up early and started baking pumpkin pies, ham, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, green jello salad, and rolls. Yum-my! I really enjoyed the time with my mom!
I'm on the down hill slide of school! I took one final Friday and will take my last one tomorrow morning. The semester has flown by and I'm hoping to end with all A's!
Saturday morning, Mike and I headed to Little Rock to attend my aunts wedding. My mom was her florist so we helped with the flowers at the Temple and the restaurant. It was a beautiful wedding and it special to be a part of it! Congrats Annabelle and Henry!
I have my 30th birthday party this weekend and I'm so excited! It's weird to think that I only have 10 more days in my 20's!
