Tis the Season

As the Christmas holiday approaches, I find myself with a little bit of time on my hands and the realization that much has happened since I last wrote. This Christmas is our third one together and 2nd in our own house. Each year we do things a little bit differently and I love that traditions are being built in our tiny family. Growing up, Trey and I each had real trees full of color and chaos. We decided that we loved this and wanted to continue this tradition on our own, so we finally go our very first REAL tree! Take a peek...


Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree

Like I said earlier, we have had some changes to our families. Trey's brother, Brett, got a new kitten affectionately named Kit Tey. Heather, Trey's cousin, got engaged and married. Jessica, Trey's cousin, got engaged. And Travis and his girlfriend had a baby. I love that I have grown so close to his family and have been able to share in all of these special occasions with them. Trey's family is quite large and mine is quite small and very spread out so we don't get to see them much. When we get together with Trey's family it's like having my home away from home. I have grown very invested in their lives and they have become an integral part in our lives as well.

This is Kit Tey. She does not like Ruckus or Rwwar but comes to visit us often!

While Kit Tey does not get along with Ruckus or Rwwar, she does tolerate them, and they have both learned to leave her alone. She is much more friendly to new people than Rwwar is, which is nice, but she growls...frequently...at our pets. But note how she and Rwwar are very similar. Silly cats!

It is really fun to watch them not only get up...but also get down from this!
As for Ruckus, she is the same as ever...

Trying to get the bag off her head. She got it on their all by herself.

As for this holiday break, most of my time has been spent snuggling on the couch with my favorite puppy dog and fella.

She doesn't realize how big she is.

Until next time, Happy Holidays!

'Papa Don't Preach..."

There have been few times in my life where I have had this much on my mind and heart, and that's all I'll say about it. Just keep me in your thoughts please.

With that said, let's move on...Saturday was the UGA/Tech game and there is no other way to describe it other than in pictures! Take a look!

Coin toss at the beginning of the game! Trey and I are SURROUNDED by Tech fans...and a few UGA ones!

Here we go Dawgs!!! Scoring on the First Drive! Thank goodness they realized Joe Cox is good for handing off the ball, and that's it!

Blair Walsh... because I simply love him! Dear Mike Smith, please pick him up in the 2012 draft when he graduates!

Kyle Butler, being an asshole to the fans! Muahahahaha! He kicked up part of the field at Bobby Dodd and carried it around to show to the fans! Solid display!

Because Trey and I love our pets so much, we decide to show off this love by giving them some warm holiday costumes! :) Here is the one we got Ruckus!

Looks like Santa got her reindeer!!! Rudolph anyone?

But, while she didn't viciously tear it off as soon as she was able to, Ruckus did lay in her bed, lifeless, giving us a look that said nothing short of "I hate you guys."

So Trey gave her a gigantic bell, complete with a pine cone and pine needles that are no longer attached.

Our Christmas tree is small, but full of life! It is covered in ornaments as we slowly build our "family" collection. Decorating the tree makes me dream about one day when we have our own REAL tree that is huge and covered with lights and ornaments and tinsel! One of these days....

Until next time, Happy Holidays!
