Our First Valentines Day

We splurged on our first married Valentine's Day and had dinner at the amazing Ruth's Chris Steakhouse - our first time there. The steak was fabulous, and the service was superb! Afterward, we decided to do dessert at our favorite cafe, Main Street Coffee House.


We exchanged presents at home.


We both enjoyed the floral and cookie bouquets. I'm still enjoying my purse, and Josh will continue to the enjoy The Office season six for a long time.

What a joy to be married to my best friend! We are so in love!

Christmas 2010

We put up our little pre-lit Christmas tree and decorated throughout our place.

We celebrated early with both our families.
It was so fun to get Our First Christmas ornaments!!We spent Christmas day in Jamaica - lounging at the beach after a morning church service at our resort.

Christmas lunch was eaten on the beach (I get a kick out of their Christmas decor - red and green balloons!)

We dressed up for Christmas dinner.

Joseph & Mary

This winter Josh & I had the privilege of playing Joseph and Mary at an event our church was involved in. I was thrilled!! Unfortunately the weather was not cooperative, and the event was shut down after about an hour due to rain. Yes, RAIN in December!

Regardless, it was honor - if only for an hour.

Josh made an awesome Joseph!

I had some issues with my head-dress.

Don't worry - Jesus was played by a baby doll. No real babies got cold and wet.
