Where to begin, so many things have happened since our last post! Our first CHRISTMAS was amazzzing! We couldn't have been more blessed! We got everything we wanted plus some! We started our own traditions this year for our "little" family, One of them is making ginger bread houses! Neither Caleb or I had ever made one. It was A LOT of fun, but verrry time consuming! We definitely should have started earlier in the day!
I wouldn't say this was my best hair day... =)
The back of the house!
Finished Product!
I think we did really well for our first one!
Of course I didn't sleep well at all Christmas eve, I'm still like a little child when it comes to Christmas. I am ALWAYS the first one to rise, even before my little sister who still believes in Santa. I learned my husband is not that way though, I woke up tried to wake him of course he wasn't having that at 6 am haha, so I made breakfast from scratch! Wow never thought i'd see the day that I would be the one doing such a thing! =) Finally the smell of food and coffee made my lovely husband arise! We ate turened on the Christmas music and began our very first CHRISTMAS! I was pleasantly surprised at how well Caleb stuffed my stocking! He did so good! Here is a few snap shots from our Christmas..
Isn't Caleb a good wrapper?
I thought so!
The only Office season we didn't have and a sushi making kit!
Who doesn't need a sushi kit?
We love sushi but i'll be honest we haven't tried making it home...yet
Caleb opening his XBOX 360 that I disguised in this big box!
He had no clue!
My siblings got a Wii
The bad part of being married is you are no longer a recipient of the "family" presents.. haha
In Emily's letter to santa she had a long list of things and at the bottom she wrote "and not to be greedy but can I please have a Wii" haha How cute!
Our gag gift to Josh "farter's underwear"
Our New Chair!
WE love it!
New TV..
& Xbox
& my husband playing his new Xbox..
When do they EVER grow out of this???
We had a really good New Years, we celebrated with our small group from church. It was a blast! We brought a couple of our new games we got for Christmas and played those! New Years day Caleb got up and made us a good lunch of course it contained greens for prosperity and black eyed peas for good luck!
Caleb won some mavs suite tickets off the radio a couple of weeks ago, so we were able to go last weekend! It was a good free date... or o we thought it was going to be. So my husband has this great idea to ride the TRE for those who dont know its a train that runs from here in Arlington right up to the front of the AAC. Well it was raining and there was traffic on the way to the train station, so we were a bit late, the train was about to leave right as we pull up meaning we didn't have to time to get our tickets.. Caleb informed me he has ridden it many times and they never check so it will be okay, we will just buy them when we get to the AAC. I told him I dont think thats a good idea, but the next train didn't leave for another 45 min. So against my better judgement i jumped on with him. Wasn't five seconds and here comes 2 security officers checking tickets.... and of course we didn't have them! So that train ride cost us $75 each! I could have killed him! And the story doesnt stop there... so after the game we go to get back on the TRE to head back to Arlington, and the AAC TRE only accepts cash... and guess who didnt carry any cash... and of course no ATM's to be found, so either take the risk of getting 2 more $75 tickets or call a friend to come get us. Needless to say our VERY nice friend Austen came all the way from Arlington to get us and bring us home! Fun night! I told Caleb if this had been our first date, he would have never seen me again! haha
But the good thing is that the Mavs won by one point!
Do I look happy or what?
Caleb holding up our tickets.. yes the mavs tickets and the criminal tickets.. haha
The next night was a much more enjoyable one for me. My friends and I had a whole girls day planned! We went to a dance class earlier in the day.. and boy were we all sore.. shows how ou of shape we all are! and of course we went shopping.. you cant have a girls day with out shopping! We came back got dressed and went out for a night out in Sundance Square in Fort Worth. We went to my favorite restraunt Pirahnna's Sushi! It was soooo good! Finally we came back to our house and had a "slumber party" =)
Don't I have the most BEAUTIFUL best friends?
and you cant have girls night without pigging out and eating brownies and cake batter! =)
Well, I finished up my winter mini, it wasn't as hard as I had imagined! I began the start of this semester last week and it is definately going to be hectic! I'm taking 17 hours this semester. Should be interesting, I'm taking my last 2 senior level Advertising classes! I can finally see the light only a couple more semesters left. I never thought I'd get this far! Caleb had a busy next couple of weeks at work. Tomorrow he will be having a preview of the new Baylor Orthopedic and Spine Hospital at Arlington. Arlington Orthopedic Associates employees will be given a tour of the facility and see what all their new hospital has to offer.
Then on Feb. 2nd there will be a formal ribbon cutting ceremony at the new BOSHA hospital. This will be an extavagent night with food, photo ops and much more. We are really looking forward to this event and Caleb has worked a lot of hours preparing for this event.
Well this was our month in a nutshell! Hope yours was as much fun as ours. We are truly loving and enjoying being newly weds!
XOXO,
Jenna & Caleb
P.S. I have a prayer request, This Sunday at church our preacher, preached on things that are first place in our lives and that God doesn't want to wear the silver or bronze medal. This is so true and it is one of the things I struggle with greatly. I tend to put so much time into school, husband, family, social life etc and leave what is left for God. When truly I should put God first and foremost! So if you could please pray for me to put God first place in my life! When you do so everything else will fall into place.
Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 9:26
