School.School.School.

       School... yes this has been my life the last 3 weeks! I have a feeling this semester is going to give me a run for my money. I'm taking 6 classes and 4 of them are the HARDEST most time consuming classes I have taken during my whole college career. I have faith i can get through this though! ... Hopefully with all A's, Caleb said if I make all A's I can redo our bedroom! =) I have been dyeing to do this!!!
      
         We had a busy week last week, we attend the "grand" Grand opening of Caleb's works new hospital! It was really nice. They had all sorts of good food there. I had something new and interesting I have never tried before, hibiscus tea! It was really good and refreshing! I know Caleb was really happy that everything went smoothly! They have been working so hard for months to prepare for this, and everything was perfect! Here's a few shots of the night and the new hospital!

This is obviously the hospital, we don't have any pics of the inside but I can tell you it's SUPER nice! My favorite part was no cafeteria food! Each patient gets a menu and chooses what they want and a chef makes it for them! Firs class!!!

Caleb with the 17 Doctors he Markets for! 
What a great looking bunch (especially the one dead center) =)

Caleb and his gorgeous boss Stacy! She is as pretty inside as she is out! 

     This weekend Caleb went to a Mens Retreat with out church on Friday night, he really loved this, he couldn't stop talking about it! He got a "man card" Still not real sure what that entirely means! lol I had a slumber party with my little sister, Emily, while he was away. I always love getting to spend alone time with her, since we don't get to see each other that much anymore. Saturday we headed into Greenville, had to eat at the famous Ta Mollys (the one thing Arlington is missing!) We got a to go for my grandfather who was recently put into the nursing home, its been really hard to see him in there, but we are hoping this is only temporary for rehab. Please keep him in your prayers! He was so excited to get his Ta Molly's fix though! I think he keeps Ta Molly's in business! 

       Sunday was my little baby cousin's first birthday party! I can't believe she is already a year old, she has grown up so fast! Caleb and I just adore her, she gives us our baby fever fix, then we can give her back to her parents, haha! Tamye (Caleb's Mother) and I made her the cutest pants! If caleb and I have a little girl I can already tell we are going to be in trouble! She will be so spoiled! Here's a few pics of the the princess.. or should I say Cowgirl!

Is this not the cutest cowgirl you have ever seen?


Eating her cake, She LOVED it! 


After bath time! She is all cleaned up!

   This weekend should be just as eventful! For those of you who don't know my mother is getting married on Friday! Congrats Mom and Royce! Of course its also Valentines day! Hopefully my husband will take me to my favorite restaurant.. Piranha's sushi! (hint hint caleb) Caleb's parents are also planning on coming over this weekend to hang out with us, and eat at PF Changs... my second favorite restaurant... should be a GREAT weekend! 

   We hope everyone is having a great week, and has a fabulous rest of the week! Oh and cross your fingers it snows on Thursday! (no school) =)

xoxo,
Jenna & Caleb

Wow, Its been AWHILE!

       Please accept our apologies for being so incredibly slow on updating our blog! I promise we wont wait this long ever again! As many of you the first part of 2010, has been extemly busy! I know its a little late but we wish all of you a blessed and happy new year from the bottom of our hearts!

      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

Christmas Card 2009

Christmas is in The Air =)

     So it's been awhile, We have been SO busy lately! I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! We sure did, it was different this year, now that we are married we have to make decisions about where we are celebrating it now, we got to see some of my family the night before Thanksgiving. It was a fun low key night, my Aunt and Uncle brought over a new game called The Last Word, we had a lot of fun playing it! We absolutely love playing games with our families, some of our favorite memories come from those nights! Actual Thanksgiving day we celebrated with his Family at his Aunt and Uncles house. His Aunt had a very nice meal and table for us! We really enjoy getting to spend time with family!

     Of Course, we got up and went shipping in the wee hours of the morning on Black Friday! There wasn't anything we were set out on getting this year for once. Usually there is always something that we are headed out to get. There is really nothing either of us are in just dier need of. We have been so blessed this year, God is so good to us. We did find a few things for some of the lucky people on our Christmas list this year though =) I love buying presents for people, I get so excited! I've already wrapped all of Caleb's gifts and it's SUPER hard for me not to tell him what they are! Luckily, he doesn't want to know or he probably would already have opened them if it were up to me!


    We had ALOT of fun putting up and decorating our first Christmas Tree! After a couple trips to Hobby Lobby (that is a dangerous place, I can't ever get out of there with just one thing!) we have it all decked out! I made some of my granny's Apple cider, put on some Christmas music, and we got to decorating. Here are a few pics from the big night =)


Before We Decorated



Decorating!



Apple Cider =)





Almost Done!



The Masterpiece =)



We dont have a fireplace so we had to make do!
Can you guess which one is mine?






     If you guessed the one on the left, you were correct! =) This last weekend Caleb and I took a little trip to Fort worth! We went to the Fort Worth botanical Gardens, it was so Beautiful, pictures just don't do it justice!




Caleb acting like he was falling in!








Beautiful Trees





     After the Botanical gardens we headed on over to The Kimball art Museum where they have Michael Angelo's first painting that he did when he was 12 years old! Wow, that was amazing, most adults I know can't paint a picture that detailed, and he did it at the ripe old age of 12! Im not a huge museum fan, but I did find that pretty interesting! After the Kimball we went to the The Modern another museum, it had a lot of newer art in there, if you cant tell by the name "modern" haha!

walking on water at the Kimball






The View at The Modern



     After all that we were hungry, so what better place to go eat in Ft Worth than Joe T Garcia's? Yumm It was so good! Sunday we went to church, and the rest of the day was just a lazy day, love those roll around in your pajamas days! This week has been busy for us so far, its dead week for me which mean finals next week! So needless to say I'm swamped with school work! Caleb has been working hard this week, he is at actually at work tonight in a suite at the Stars game... If you can call that work! =) Well that is us in a nutshell for the last week, hopefully it wont be as long between this and my next post!

xoxo,
Jenna & Caleb
