Anniversary #4

I decided to change our picture, to a picture from our wedding, because it's time for another Anniversary! Our 4th Anniversary is on February 24th (this Thursday)! I cannot believe it has already been four years!!!!! It's been a wonderful four years...better than I ever imagined. Hunter and I are so happy together...we've got this marriage thing down! ha. Can you every really have everything perfect in a marriage?? Probably not...but I feel as though we're doing great! I know he would say the same thing. We're still as much in love as we were when we were 18 years old. I'm so happy I get to share my life with such a wonderful man! He still makes my heart pitter-patter. Hunter, I love you! Thanks for making the past 9 years wonderful...4 of which we have been married! I can't wait to share many more years with you!

We will go out to dinner to celebrate, and hopefully, I'll get a new picture of us. We never take pictures anymore, unless we go somewhere special. Like we need anymore pictures of us......we have soooo many, but I'll try to get a new one!

Thankful for my husband,
Carrie

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hunter and I were watching Man vs. Food and we saw this pie (Peanut Butter Pie)! We just had to have it, so we went and bought the stuff. I made it last night and we'll have it again tonight...delicious! I'm sooo excited. There wasn't a recipe, so I just did what the Amish lady described, and it turned out great! We decided to have Valentine's dinner at home. I really don't like messing with the crowds, and with our Anniversary coming up in 10 days, we like to go out then. So we're grilling steaks with asparagus, baked potatoes, and rolls. Sounds yummy to me!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope Cupid came your way...(Hunter used to sing this song to me in college...it makes me laugh really hard! Enjoy!

Super Bowl Sunday (a little late)

Super Bowl Party at the Scott's house!!!! Matt & Lana Summitt, Drew & Lindsey Holbert, Trevor & Lori Holbert, Gene & Dona Scott, and Andrew Meadows joined us for our party! We had a GREAT time! It was pretty typical...girls sat at the table, chatting, while the boys crowded around the tv, watching the game. I usually get into the Super Bowl, but was not too terribly excited about the teams this year. Wish the Colts had made it...I'm a die hard fan (seeing as though I was born in Indiana!) But oh well...it was still a fun excuse to have a party!

Hunter wanted to make ribs and chicken, so he had the smoker going at 11 am. They smoked all day long...and they were delicious! Our friends were in charge or sides. Lindsey brought beans and chips, Meadows made cheese dip, Lana made coleslaw and a texas sheet cake, and lori brought another dessert (ooey gooey cake). It was a success...and I actually snapped some pictures of the occasion! Woo!

Enjoy looking...

Hunter is working hard on the ribs & chicken!




Outdoor fireplace going...it was chilly!




Yum!






Finished Product!




Boys are chilling while waiting for everyone to arrive...



Everyone's eating...











The girls...love them!



Hope everyone had a great Super Bowl Sunday! Too bad Christina Aguilera blew it...haha! She was the talk of the week...along with the winter weather! We had 3 snows days this week...can you say, LONG WEEKEND! Yay!

Enjoy your weekend! ;)

SNOW DAY!

So I heard last night that there might be a chance of snow...but i didn't think anything of it. They weren't calling for more than 1-3 inches. It's been really cold here, but we missed the snow storms that the majority of the Midwest has experienced. This morning, my alarm rang around 5:45 and I got up to shower. After my shower, I realized that maybe I should look outside to see if it did snow. I peeked out our bathroom window and there was NOTHING! I knew school wouldn't be canceled so I just continued getting ready. Interim reports were due at school, today, so I ran to the computer around 6:20 to print off my class spreadsheets. For some reason after I printed, I jumped onto facebook and saw a teacher had posted that school was canceled. I immediately went to our district website, and sure enough, school was canceled. I'M SO GLAD I CHECKED BEFORE I DROVE 35 MINUTES TO WORK, TO FIND THE DOORS LOCKED! I turned on the news and found that there was a 100% chance of snow, starting around rush hour...and sure enough, after I woke up from my morning nap (of course I went back to bed), it was snowing! Now we get a three day weekend...yay! We will have to make this day up in June, but it will be ok. I was really tired this week and was ready for a nice long nap.

Andrew Meadows is in town for work and he sells insurance to schools. North Little Rock schools were closed, too, so I texted him and told him. He didn't have to go to work either. So he came over and we hung out for a little while until Hunter got home. Meadows will be staying with us this weekend because he has to work here again next week, and his company won't pay for hotels over the weekend. So Hunter came home around noon and the three of us have been making food and watching tv. I'm so excited for a nice, long weekend. I didn't bring any of my school stuff home because I didn't expect school to get canceled...guess i can't do my lesson plans...darn! I think we may go see a movie in a few...it's a rough life!

Just wanted to inform you of my morning...sorry if you are bored...

Have a happy Friday! ;)
