Well Chad is sick :( i know, i know. So sad. This weekend was going to be a lazy one just getting to take care of him but on Friday I got invited to partake in an annual tradition with Chelsie and Sherry to go to an open house of this Christmas shop. I absolutely love Christmas and so this just sounded amazing. I accepted the invitation and yes, left my sick husband behind to fend for himself. Haha no, he's almost better and on antibiotics and told me it was completely fine to go. Don't go passing any harsh judgements on my wife-hood. SO Friday around 3 we all took off towards Memphis (all driving separately). Friday night we ordered some pizza and watched a rather weird movie called Wedding Daze and then Chelsie and I ended up staying up an extra hour after everyone else went to bed talking. This seems to run in both families? ha. Saturday we were planning on leaving around 11 and Chels had offered to curl my hair, so who would turn that down? Hey do you mind if I play with your hair while you relax and make it look great? No, that sounds awful... yeah right. So we got our hair done and left to head to the shop! This place was GREAT! It was a little house that the owners had turned into a shop - decorated Christmas trees everywhere. On the bottom floor were all these expensive decorations -just to give you an idea, we looked at one glass santa that was about 3 inches tall...$90. Yeah. So looking was fun I was just nervous I would end the weekend telling Chad I had to use all our savings on a ceramic snowman i knocked off a Christmas tree. Luckily that didn't happen. There were ornaments, statues of caroling people, shirts, hot chocolate mix, everything. The decorations were so packed together that you didn't have to move to see 10 different arrangements. Sparkles galore. Upstairs was the less-pricey things but just as cute. They also had the different villages and pillows and such. Sherry was SO sweet and bought Chelsie and I both an ornament! I got a snowflake with little snowman heads in the shapes of marshmallows (told you I like those things) at the ends and Chelsie got a candy cane. Sherry didn't get an ornament but she got some wonderful smelling potpourri that looked great too- pine cones and red berries scattered within. Being their open house, they were serving some food and naturally we didn't want to be rude and so we got some. It was turkey and ham, sweet potato casserole, stuffing/dressing (whatever you want to call it), gravy, and rolls. I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes but this casserole was great!! Stuffing is my usually my favorite side dish at this time of year but the casserole was a close second. Maybe even a tie...
Our ornaments!
I came home Saturday about an hour before Chad had to go to work. He usually works from 5-10ish but of course he got put on a party that was suppose to end at midnight. He got home at 1:15. So that was Saturday- very eventful. Today not much happened either. He worked until about 2 and we had some homework to do for tomorrow and we had fun just being together since we had missed each other from friday. Its our 3 month anniversary today! So it was nice just being together.
These are our pumpkins from halloween by the way... a little late but still wanted to share!

Hey it's great to have something more to read on your blog! Good job Cristy! I think it's the first time that I've heard anything about Chad's work. I didn't know how much he was working or if he enjoys it, etc. I'm glad you write about Steven so I know what he's been doing. :)
Sounds like you're doing well in your wife-hood. Of course, Chad's is the only opinion that really counts. Aunt Nancy
