I year and going STRONG!

I apologize for this not being so timely but we have been busy bees here in Oxford. So on to the good stuff!!

Although it was not exactly as we had dreamed it would be, we finally celebrated our first year of marriage.

It still feels like it was yesterday. It was a perfect day with just the right amount of clouds in the sky and the perfect temperature. I don't think I could have hand picked a better day. I think my loving father was up there pulling a few strings! Everyone was feeling great!

Here are some "happenings" from the wedding day that you may not be aware of:

• I woke up at 8:00 and actually slept all night.


• I darted off to the tanning bed, like one day made a difference in this pale skin.


• I ate breakfast with Josh and Lisa at no other than Chick-fil-a.
  
• I had extensions put in my hair. I was really upset when they fell out the next morning...I loved them!


• I was the only one late for pictures- everyone was waiting on me! :)


• I ate 3 chicken nuggets from chick-fil-a for lunch and chugged a glass of champagne. whew, nerves!


• Zach and I met before the wedding.


• Zach cried before he even saw me. sweet guy!
  
• Zach sneezed probably 50 times in that first meeting---gotta love allergies.


• Waiting by yourself in the brides room is really not fun!
  
• The dove laid an egg during the wedding. It was suppose to be two male birds, the bird lady did not realize she grabbed the female.


• Col. Reb did not come out like he was suppose to and that was a complete shock to Zach.
  
• I did not get one bite of reception food after my mouth watered for it for months.


• Zach and I were going to learn a dance for our first but never had time. I know we were really boring ;)
  
• The birds, video, sonic drinks, helicopter were all a surprise to 98% of the people there.
  
• Zach and I left the reception and went straight to Taco Bell.


• Zach asked me in the airport as we were waiting on our honeymoon flight, "when can we have kids?"
  

So here we are a year later and loving life more than ever! I could not ask for a better husband and look forward to our life in the years to come!

Just a random bit of info

Everyone eats donuts. But the question is, what kind of donut do you eat?

From the day Zach and I got married, we go get donuts for breakfast maybe once a month. I always get whatever is filled with the real icing, not pudding. Zachary, on the other hand, gets strawberry with sprinkles. HAHA. Is this not any kids dream come true! I keep asking him why he gets them and he says, I dunno they are good. We adults, all know that sprinkles DO NOT taste. Which ever way you look at it, at least he still enjoys the simple things.

Granny King

Yesterday, May 17, 2009, Granny went to be with her Lord. She was a cute little lady with lots of spunk. She had a way to make everyone smile and she will be missed. She died after she celebrated her 91st birthday on May 14th. Keep Zach's family in your prayers as they go through the next few days.

The anniversary celebration has been postponed....will keep you updated!

Happy Mothers Day!

Wow, I can't believe it has almost been a week since Mother's Day and I am just now getting to this post....

For Mother's Day, I went to Memphis to spend a whirlwind of a Day with the best Mom...EVER!
We started by opening a gift or two and then running around town to find a place to eat. After driving around for about 15 minutes and one stop for a 3 hour wait we found ourselves driving back up and down Germantown Road. Our search ended at Colletas. I find myself not planning ahead when I need to but planning to much when it is not needed. I don't really regret this restaurant hunt...because needless to say this is what we do best as Mother-daughter...roam around with no plan!

We had a great lunch and then got to visit with my grandparents and great aunt Mary.
Here are some photos to sum up the day!

A quick trip to Memphis...

Yesterday I made a whirlwind trip to Memphis to help out with my girls, Madyson and Maya.

I don't need to go into details about my camera because my blood pressure might reach damaging levels. Lets just say, I had two cameras and one memory card that is so small it held two pictures.

This is what I came away with.

These are the sweetest little angels ever...love love them!

I am Oh so Random..

If you know my track record then you are well aware that I have wanted some pretty random things in my life.





Lets just talk about the cash register. Are you aware that I asked for a cash register for about 5 Christmas in a row. Yeah, I did. I don't know why. It seemed really cool. I could pretend that I had my own store and charge people for everything. I finally got it the first Christmas I did not ask for it. I distinctly remember my Dad saying, "the day I buy you a cash register is the day you need to check me into Lakeside". Someone along the way actually bought me the carbon copy pads that you write orders on. I had a the best time with that. Don't worry I don't pull out my cash register very often. Only on a good garage sell day.





So, on to the point.....





Toni felt the need to buy me a thank you gift for helping with Double Decker. You see, her parents have a radio scanner and I think it is the most entertaining thing. Where else can you sit in the comfort of your own home and know all the scoop. dui here, assault there, burglary now, speeding later....ahhh, I love it!! Now I have been blessed with this luxury. Thanks Toni.




I gotta run, I am busy facebooking these college kids that are getting DUI's....hahahahahha

p.s. isnt the wrapping perfect!

What a suprise!

Years ago, I use to work at the Airport for my parents friend Jim. Most of you know him or at least of him. So you completely understand the fact that when he put his mind to something or anything he would some how get it. Same story different product...MalloCups.

One day at work, we were talking about candy. Jim went into this elaborate story about Mallo Cups and how they were a great candy from years ago. He promised he would bring one to work for me. Days went by and I still had not tasted one. He had me calling every store in town that might have them. I had no clue what he was even talking about. Finally, in a few weeks we had a Costco size box of them straight from California or somewhere like that.

They were pretty dang good and they didn't last long around the office. The only bad part was there would be no more Mallo Cups unless I stumbled upon them randomly.

After leaving clinical one afternoon, I was headed straight for oxford and was so sleepy. I pulled off at a gas station to get a Dr. Pepper and some chocolate. You will never believe what I found.....yep, a Mallo Cup. I died laughing to myself. Only if we had come 30 miles down 55.

Well, about 2 weeks ago, I was at work craving some chocolate. I made a mad dash to the vending machine and guess what was stocked.....yep, a mallo cup!

Last night, Zach and I ran into Kroger for a few things. I saw a HUGE display of....yep, Mallo Cup! I immediately ran over and got my hands on a few packages. Zach did not even ask, he has heard the story. We were not in the car with the doors closed good when he was busting into them. He thinks they are pretty tasty too..
