Our First Holidays as Mr. and Mrs. Spradlin

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

I hope this post finds everyone well and enjoying your time with family on Christmas!!!

Our first Thanksgiving together was great and very relaxing!! good food, good times, and nice to spend time together! It was also a nice time for me to cook my very first Thanksgiving meal and try out some new recipes!! It all turned out very good!


Christmas this year was spent just the two of us! i loved every minute of it!!! I went to Christmas Eve service at church last night (Jason had to work) and spent my evening relaxing. Today, it was nice to wake up, relax, fix some sausage balls (i had to have a little piece of home tradition!), cook some Christmas lunch, and then wake my sleeping husband so that we could enjoy all of it! we opened presents, ate some yummy lunch, and then watched The Santa Clause (which Jason got me for Christmas!) it was a very nice morning spent with my wonderful husband!! i am SO blessed!!






Thats all for now! Can't wait for the new year! Excited to see what it has to store for us! Again, i hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!! love to all!

Fall is finally here....let's hope it stays!

hi friends!!! having updated in a while. not much going on right now....and i couldn't think of any fun topics to just spout about! lol

i know the first day of fall was last week, but today it really feels like it is fall! i love this cooler weather!!! maybe now i can really get back into a running routine!!

we are settling into married life and loving it!!! i love being a wife!!

last week i decided to experiment with some recipes out of my book that Jason's mom gave me at one of our showers! it has a whole bunch of recipes from different family members and i love it! i have always known how to cook and i can follow a recipe, but i only knew a few recipes that i know really well. eating those all the time, would get really boring!!! so....last monday we had meatloaf (his grandmom's recipe), tuesday we had enchiladas (his mom's recipe...of which turned out awesome and i was so proud) and wednesday we tried a side dish of his mom's called macaroni and tomatoes! pretty good! as i was cooking last week, Jason was looking through the book and would turn a page and say "oooh that one is good" and then turn another page and repeat....this went on for a few more pages! needless to say, looks like i have a lot more recipe experimenting in the near future! :)

in other news...we have slowly started the house hunting process! we haven't met with a lender yet but i have a family friend that lives in the area that is real estate agent and she has already set up some properties for us to look at online! we haven't really got into the process but it is still exciting and a little nerveracking! thankfully, since Cheri has known  my parents since before i was born, i feel really at ease knowing someone i trust is going to help us through this whole process! we are ready for some more room and i know Wyatt is ready for a big yard to play in! as i type this he is passed out on the living room floor! lol i love our puppy dog!

this last weekend was nice! went to Billy Bob's friday night with a friend and her fiance' to see Aaron Watson! it was a good concert and even though i had to get up early saturday for work, it was so worth being tired! also went down to belton this weekend to see UMHB play HSU(our rivals) and the Crusaders won 42-35!!! it was good to hang out with Matt and Kristen and enjoy watching the football game! got to see one of my old roomates Allison, today too!! with Kristen and Matt moving back down to belton, Allison in midland, and kelly in Korea....i miss being able to see some of my closest friends anytime i want! the plus side...i am starting to make more friends up hear in fort worth (after being here over a year)!! i love my friends, but its nice to have new ones! i am too much of a "social butterfly" to sit at home every night that Jason is at work, i get so bored!!!

i think that it all for now! holidays are coming up, so i'm sure i will have more to talk about then, if not before then! hope all is well with everyone!!!

The Beginning

This first post should be interesting since I haven't done any  kind of "blogging" since I had a Xanga back in high school! I figured this was a good way to keep everyone up to date on whats going on in our lives, or at least for those that want to know! lol

We've been married for 8 days now! :) Our wedding went beautifully! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Just a side note...thank you to everyone that made our day extra special!! We love you all!

Just got back from our honeymoon in Aruba on Friday!! It was awesome! We did a whole bunch of nothing, which was really nice after the crazy weeks leading up to the wedding! Most of our time was spent lounging on the beach. Here are a few pictures:

After a nice, relaxing week, tomorrow means back to work, and back to reality! lol Jason has another whole week off, I'm so jealous! I really don't have much else to say right now! Hope everyone has a fabulous week!
