We just got back from a busy morning out! We ate lunch with Brittany (a girl in the youth group) at school today. We had a good time! After that, we did our weekly grocery shopping. There were lots of sales, so I stocked up on some items for future weeks since prices were so low!

One Month Anniversary

November 17, 2009 by Aliesha

Since today is our one month anniversary of being married, I thought I would share a couple of our favorite wedding pictures, taken by the VERY TALENTED Andrea Wood! I actually have about 450+ favorite photos (including tons of great family photos), but I can’t post them all here. To see all our pictures (and order any, at wonderful reduced rates!), click here to go to Andrea’s Zenfolio.Tad’s only working half a day today, so we’re looking forward to a “date night” tonight.

I am so thankful for my wonderful husband!!

Lunch with my hubby

October 28, 2009 by Aliesha

Just enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my dear husband. We had BLTs (well…I just had a BL), homemade steak potato fries, grapes, and sweet tea.

I love having time to spend with my husband right now. Yesterday I got to go to a tennis match with him and support one of the girls in the youth group. This morning I was able to go with him to the church and help get things set up for youth group tonight.

This afternoon I am working on a project for tonight. We wanted to play flag football with the youth tonight, so I’m going to make belts and flags! If all goes well, I’ll post pictures later.

As you can see in this picture, I love fall decorations. It is my favorite season, and I just melt over little gourds, things that smell like cinnamon, red and orange leaves, and anything that tastes like pumpkin!

Tad bought me a cute little succulent plant on Monday. It has brought such joy into my life! Amazing how one little touch of green indoors can do that.

So thankful for my loving and caring husband.

P.S. Sorry I was having a problem with the commenting feature. I think I fixed it… leave a comment if you can so I know it’s working!
