Prayers for Kyle's LSAT
If you could please pray for Kyle this week, he is taking the LSAT for Law school admission on Saturday morning at 8:30 and we would all really appreciate the prayers. He is very well prepared and has been studying and dedicating hours a day for 4 months now, but just pray for concentration and confidence going into it on sat. I am so proud of all the work he's done and we are both super excited that it will all be over soon... its been a long, tough semester. Thanks for the prayers, I know he appreciates you thinking of him!
Turkey Day 2008
This Thanksgiving was wonderful! Kyle and I spent our first Holiday together and it was relaxing, and fun. We had a lot of good food and good desserts from his aunt and Grandma. Kyle and I stayed a few houses down from his mom and his grandmas house cause his moms house was pretty full. We hung out and played board games and had many good conversations. I had a lot of fun getting to know Kyle's whole family better. On Thanksgiving day we ate way too much and watched a lot of football! Kyle's Aunt, Uncle, cousin, brothers, grandma, mom and dad were there. Kyle's mom Terri and I got to spend some nice time together and just the two of us went and saw a movie friday night. Then on saturday Kyle and I spent some time by ourselves Christmas shopping near Austin. We had beautiful weather the whole week and lots of great company:) I missed my family a lot, but the Smith's sure did a great job of making me feel a part of their family. I really had some great visits with Kyle's dad and mom. It was a good week!
Oh, and the picture of the silly man pretending to be an elf... ya, thats Kyle's dad:) haha.

Heartbreak and Sadness
My heart is in so much pain, i feel as though I cant deeply breath! We have experienced great loss and mourn our dear, sweet Cindy. I have been asking God why. It makes NO sense at all to me. It came as such a shock, so much in so little of a time. Its very hard to be here in Texas when i want to be there holding and being held by my East County family. I am thankful for my East County family here, but we miss our home!
Abigail, Alli, and I were recalling our fun memories and loved experiences about our friend Cindy this afternoon while crying and laughing in each others arms. we shared about trips, camping, cooking, mission trips, lifegroups, knitting, craft parties, longerberger baskets, artichokes, mary engelbreit, ford escape, tea, fourth of July's, football, hugs, the list goes on. Many of these words may not mean a lot to you, but they have a special place in our hearts. We miss her, but we also are thankful she is at home. Alli put it best, "all the great ones are in Heaven! I sure am jealous Cindy gets to be with Adam right now." I smiled when I heard that! How great for Alli to say that... it warmed my heart, I am glad of that, she's going home.
What a dear friend she was to my mom, to so many others and to me. She had a bright smile and lived a much fulfilled and Godly life. She loved the Lord and loved her family. One of my absolute favorite things is how her boys could make her laugh so hard she would cry. We love you very much Cindy!

Surprise Date Nights
So i am super excited about this, I decided a week or so ago that Kyle needed a bit of a break. He needed to just have fun, relax and we needed to spend time together, just the two of us, so I told him last Sunday night to not make any plans Friday night and that I was going to take him out on a date. I told him it was all going to be a surprise and I was paying for everything. He agreed, but under one condition, I had to let him do the same for me on Saturday night. (my goal was of course to make it so he didn't have to pay or worry about planning anything, but if it's the only way I could get him to go, then so be it). So I got super excited that I got to do this for my sweet boyfriend who works his tail off everyday and is in desperate need of a break.
Friday night:
I picked him up (in his car... haha) and drove him to one of our favorite restaurants, Szechuan Chinese Kitchen. We had some really good food!
Then I took him to Play Faire Park to play 36 holes of miniature golf. We had such a fun tie and there was like no one else there, so we had a blast. of course i had to let Kyle win on his surprise date night:) The score was 109 to 120. It was good to just have fun together and relax.
Then on Saturday night, Kyle surprised me with his date. He took me to Logan Steak house and we had a yummy dinner. then we rented "fun with Dick and Jane", cause i have been wanting to watch that for a while, he remembered me talking about it i guess:) We watched it here at my house and it was good, He knows that I didn't need anything big to do tonight. We had a lot of fun last night and we both need to relax.It was a much needed break for him and a much needed one-on-one time for me! It was a good night.

Its been a while...
Well, sorry i've been bad about updating my blog this semester, i will try to be better in the coming weeks:) So not much new is going on. I'm feeling pretty sick today, i came down with something the day Kyle and I got back from his house in Marble Falls.
We went to his moms house for fall break and just hung out, we had a lot of fun. We even installed a kitchen faucet for his mommy, it was a new experience for both of us and we didnt even fight:) we were working on it for a good 2 1/2 hours (so if any of you need a new faucet, just call us:) ) haha, i told him "who needs a law degree and a bachelors in Interior design when we could do couples plumbing" haha. Anyway, we had fun. we went to visit University of Texas Austin law school on friday, we got a lot of great information and they made a good impression on kyle, so thats good. so all in all it was a good weekend. now i'm just trying to get over being sick and finish this large book report due in 3 days... ahhhh, i better get going.
