Sure...each one of these deserves to stand on their own. Dan and I haven't posted in a good bit and I thought it necessary to finish up these events and start new for 2010!
Thanksgiving was at my grandmother's lake house on Cedar Creek. My cousin, the dedicated fireman, decided it would be a great idea to live up to family traditions past and fry a turkey. Well, once Dan got wind of that, the race was on. He and Evan were texting back and forth deciding on their strategy. The turkey was wonderful, the sides were wonderful, the family was wonderful!
Then there was our wedding...more to come once we get the pictures in...let's say for now...beautiful, memorable, and I'll never forget his face and the smile I saw when I walked down the aisle. So very wonderful.
After that, moving in together was a little crazy! A one-bedroom apartment is not really meant to hold 2 adults who've lived on their own for awhile. We had so many duplicates of everything..it was hard to weed through it all, but we're getting it done. Our home has that "lived-in" look, which I like. Decorating for Christmas though was a bit of a crazy thought, so we bought a 2 ft. tree and decorated it up real nice! :P Stockings were hung on the bar and that was about the extent of the decorating this year. It kind of hurt my heart to not put up everything, but I knew I couldn't find a place for it just yet.
Huffines had their Christmas party at Castle Hills Country Club and Dan had his for Mass Group Marketing at Mi Cocina in Frisco. He was blessed with a Christmas bonus check. He really does love working for this company! They have been great to him and he's working his way up!
Christmas was an adventure to say the least. After many changes in our plans due to weather and other things, we spent Christmas eve at home together and had a fantastic first Christmas together. We went to Mom and Dad's for Christmas dinner and my grandmother was visiting as well. Cornish game hens, cornbread dressing and Dan's precious fudge were in attendance. Overall it was a great day!
And that leads us to now...New Year's hockey game tonight and then headed to spend the end of 2009 with Greg and Colleen back at Chapel Hill. I'm excited to be spending it with my new husband, family, and good friends. Blessings and love to a wonderful 2010 to all! See you in the new year!
Stars game tonight!
*Whew!* Okay, so the rush of the getting married is almost over and Bevin and I are starting to settle down... only a little! We've still got some traveling to do and all, but for tonight we're stopping long enough to take in a Star's game at the AA center. We've got great seats through my boss! I've never been able to sit on the floor level of any sporting event (except for an SA Missions game once, but I think that was $1 Beer night and I don't remember much...) I'll have to tell you all about our visit to the flea market in Tool, TX this past weekend. We live in a state of very colorful people! I mean that in every sense of the word. But for now- GO STARS!!
Clark's Outpost - Tioga, Texas
On November 15, I woke up like every other Sunday...head to Starbucks in ratty clothes, get a coffee and Sunday paper, and come back to the house to read and cut coupons (one of the best things about Sunday in my opinion). When I came back, Dan was at the apartment and was looking to find some kind of football on tv. After hearing the grumbling coming from the couch about the bad football selection and his horrible picks for his fantasy teams, I suggested we try a BBQ place in Tioga that I saw had been written up in the paper that day. Well....let me say, I'm learning you never suggest trying a new bbq place to Dan if you can't fully prepare to carry this plan out! I've just about never seen him so happy! We couldn't get in the car fast enough. We headed out to Tioga about 11:30. I wasn't sure about the crowd, seeing as they'd just been written up that day, but thought we'd hit it a little later than normal. Clark's Outpost is a very unassuming place to visit, just like Tioga. On the menu that day was an appetizer of fried cheddar cheese balls (yummy), brisket sandwich for me with potato salad, and ribs for Dan. All of it was really good. The sauce was served in Grolsch bottles and heated in water warmer...which some of the best bbq places do their sauce the same way I've found. Overall a very good experience. We drove around the town a bit and took a picture of the water tower...thought it was pretty cool!
These trips make me understand what this marriage thing is about...I absolutely love spending time with Dan. What makes me happiest is knowing that we enjoy the same things, and seeing the smile on his face makes it worth the trip....everytime!
The Big Day is tomorrow!
Alright, so we haven't posted anything in all the rush to get married, but that will soon change! Bevin and I get married tomorrow, though unofficially I've been married to her since meeting up again on mySpace. I saw her picture and that was it! I love you, Beautiful. This is going to be oh so much fun...!
