Wedding Pics

Howdy! Trusting you all had a fabulous holiday with family and friends. I must admit I had the weirdest Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had...



Twix and a can of Pepsi. :)



Thankfully, I got off work in time to enjoy REAL leftovers for supper. lol



I just wanted to post a few pictures from my sister's wedding so those of you who couldn't make it can at least see how beautiful she was. :)


Big Love,
Sarah
My gorgeous little princess...

Thanksgiving Eve

Hey, y'all...

Just a very quick post to say hello and wish all of you safe travels if you're going somewhere for the holiday.

As for my gang, we are heading to Uncle Eddie's for the yearly Thanksgiving Eve poker party. And for those who are wondering...no, you won't find me at the poker table...I have Victory luck. Instead, I'll be wrangling little monkeys and eating Aunt Rosie's pie crust. :)

Until tomorrow...

Much love to you all,
Sarah

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful for so many things.

First, I want to say how thankful I am for my family, specifically this week, for Mom, Dad, Amy, Lou, Grandma V, and Brad...

I was extremely sick Sunday evening, and while mom and dad took the kids for the night, Amy and Lou took care of me...providing spare clothes, a comfy bed, lots of love, and good rest. The following morning, I spent some time with GGV and Brad, who allowed me to vent and release a little stress...that's always a good thing, and I felt much better when I left.

Secondly, I'd like to say how very thankful I am for all of our veterans who have fought endlessly and sacrificed their lives so I can enjoy my salvation, my worship, my family, and everything else in this short circle of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thirdly, I'm thankful for chicken noodle soup, crackers, jell-o, and sprite...all the 'little things' that help soothe a yucky, sore tummy! Please keep Maya in your prayers as she fights off this battle with the flu.

Lastly, I'm thankful for the simple fact that God is unchanging. While everything around seems to be a complete whirlwind, He is still God. When my feeble mind questions His goodness and intentions, He is still God...and He never stops loving me, regardless of how ignorant or selfish I am.

What are you thankful for, today?

Hi, everybody! Hope this email finds you having a GREAT day. After having a rough night and a really rough morning, I am finally sitting here, tearless and tired. Nonetheless, I'm in the office, the window is open, the curtains are back, and boy howdy, do I have a purdy view!! ;) And that's just the colorful trees, weeds, and uncut grass...not to mention the 6 pt. buck that was out by the truck earlier.

Man, isn't God good? Quiet energy...gives me the strength to go on...on days like these, when I have no desire left.

I love you all so much...and I miss you all like crazy!! Come visit me...all of you who read this stinkin' thing! :)


Big Love,
Sarah

BUSTED!

okay, so we all know it was bound to happen...

I got caught texting at work lol...

so yeah, I got the "you're gonna get fired" threat and a really nasty glare from the Wicked Witch of the South Desk...and then was threatened again before the day was over about being terminated; needless to say, it WASN'T a good day at work for Sarah, the rebel. :)

enough about me, let's talk about you...

I wanna know what YOU have gotten busted doing...anywhere, anytime, any place...let's hear it!!

waiting for YOU to comment,
Sarah

Time for Pics!

Okay, for those of you who have remarked that you're not sure Sam and I are really married because you've never seen pictures...well, I finally broke down and created a slideshow. I'm displaying it above, temporarily, so you can all see how NOT so beautiful I was on my wedding day lol...I was so miserable. (Sorry Sam, nothing against you!! lol) However, I must admit that I think I should win some sort of prize for having the simplest (no decorations), cheapest ($200), quickest (less than 8 minutes), wedding...right, Katie?!?!? ;)

Now, on to the CUTE pics from Halloween...enjoy!!


This is my little gnome who wouldn't wear his hat or beard, but he LOVED trick-or-treating!



And, my other little gnome who wasn't shy at all about wearing her full costume...in fact, she slept in the dress! :)


Such sweet facial expressions...so excited!

And yes, we LOVE trick-or-treating at Mr. Mathews' house every year (my old high school prinicpal lol)





The night ended back at gg's house, as usual, and Dad never fails to disappoint us by not dressing up each year...neither does Morgan. :)
