SOOO I'M CRAZY......

about Christmas that is! I love buying & wrapping gifts, the holiday parties, decorating my house, watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation a million times, and of course seeing my friends and family for the holidays! I always feel like we put our Christmas decorations up and in just a couple weeks have to put them all away again. This year I decided I wanted to decorate early. After convincing my husband that I wasn't THAT crazy for wanting to decorate before Thanksgiving, he gave into my wish and brought up all of the decorations from the basement! Here are some quick pictures from this past Sunday!!!! Justin is such a good sport he even helped me during the Bengals game and to top it all off he put on the Santa hat :) How cute is he???


P.S. I love you babe....don't kill me for showing this picture :)


Drum Roll Please.....


TA DAAAAA...Okay so it still needs a topper and some work but it's BEAUTIFUL at night!


After some extensive Christmas decorating Justin was out the door to go to the Colts home game against the Patriots! Here is a picture of Justin and Tom before leaving for the game! They got matching hats as an "early" Christmas present. The game was amazing to watch on TV so I can't even imagine how incredible it was to be there! I know these two had an AWESOME time!

Colts 35 Patriots 34...GOO BLUE


I really thought about changing my blog background to something Christmasy, but I guess I'll wait until after Thanksgiving to do that :)

A Big Announcement

Justin and I have been keeping this secret for way to long and its about time to let the cat out of the bag........








We would like to announce that........












I have officially started my own photography business. The name of the business is Somewhere In Time Photography; one of my favorite movies is an old movie called Somewhere in Time and was the inspiration for the name of my business. I am very excited to get started. I have created a website which is http://www.sitphotography.net/ please feel free to check out the site and let me know what you think! It might take a minute to load but I promise it is worth the wait :) I love doing photography and was inspired to start my own business due to the lack of a professional photographer that was affordable in this area. I can remember how much money my parents spent on my Senior Pictures; the sitting fee and then the orderering of the photos equaled a ridiculous amount of money. I want to ensure that everyone can afford to have pictures of their family. Justin and I are very excited about this new adventure. Please help us spread the word of this new and upcoming business :)

Recap of Halloween Bash/Justin's Birthday

We celebrated Justin's birthday on October 24th by throwing our first "annual" Halloween Bash. The party was soo much fun and we had some special people make the trip down to celebrate with us. My Aunt Lisa & Uncle Don drove all the way down from Rensselaer to celebrate with us and then drove back the same night!

*Aunt Lisa & Uncle Don*: Thank you so much for making the trip, you have no idea how much that meant to Justin and I!

Here are some more photos from the party:
Justin the "Bullrider" & I the "Witch"

Jasmine & Aladdin AKA Shandi & Russ who drove from Lafayette to partake in the festivities




Obviously, I am getting better at my cooking skills because these appetizers did not last too long!
YAY for me :)

The casket that is a full cooler!

Thank you to everyone that came for the party! We had a blast with all of you! Can't wait to see you all again soon! XOXOXO
