{photography}

Casey got me an awesome camera. He knows I like photography and it's something I am passionate about. I have no experience, never taken classes either. I just like to have fun with it, I am not good AT ALL but practice makes perfect right? Here are just some random ones I took of mom and Scott as they walked the dogs tonight...

{new moon}

Ok, so the New Moon background is all me. I figure since I keep up with this thing I should be able to pick the background. Can you tell? I CAN'T WAIT until the New Moon premiere :) :) :) Casey will just have to deal with it a few more weeks.

{halloween fun}

Casey makes my life so exciting. It's the little things that matter and he knows I have never carved a pumpkin...until tonight :) I am so lucky to have him. He got us a pumpkin carving kit and it was soooo much fun! Check out our work...

Meet 'bug-a-boo' and 'peek-a-boo' :)

{Merry Christmas Deb & Steve}

We wanted to get Casey's parents a new TV for Christmas. We have been talking about this for months, waiting on the perfect one to pop up. Little did we know that the TV they had would stop working. They talked about going and getting one to replace it and this could not happen! We knew we couldn't put it off until December so we surprised them last night with an early Christmas gift! Merry Christmas Deb & Steve! We love you - Zack, Sarah, Casey & Kristin...

{oh what a night}

Last night was one of the funnest nights we have had in a while. We met Zack and Sarah at Wasabi's for some great sushi and hibachi. From there we went to see "Law Abiding Citizen" with Gerard Butler and Jamie Fox. The movie was awesome! I would definitely say it's a must see and you need to see it in theatres to get the full affect. It's rated R, mainly for the violence and gore. Kristin covered her eyes a few times because the gore was a little too much to handle, but there is a reason for it.

After the movie, Casey and Zack decided they wanted to take the girls to a Haunted House. FRIGHTWORKS is off Central Ave Pike in Knoxville and I would definitely recommend this place. For $13(it provides a Christmas gift for a less fortunate child), you get to walk through an office building for about 20 minutes and get scared...

Kristin was terrified of this thing...

{scary movie}

The Movie: Paranormal Activity
The Gang: Sarah, Derrick, Amy, Travis, Ashley, Elvis, Casey & Kristin

Welp, Halloween is soon approaching and with that comes scary movies. While I am not a fan of these, what would Halloween be without a few thrills? Today we went and saw Paranormal Activity and it definitely delivered! I had my share of jumps and gasps during the entire movie. Casey says it reminded him of "The Blair Witch Project", mainly because it was someone filming it the entire time - like a 'reality show' type feel. I say it was scary but people made it out to be more scary than what it really was. Either way, if you want a gasp or two - I would go.

It was so nice to get out of the house and spend time with friends. Love you all!

{in sickness and in health}

I've really been battling with sickness the past few days. I seem to be a target for these horrible infections. I've been to the ER, missed three days of work (something I never do), and have been on four different types of meds! While my body hurts, and my mood is "ornery", my baby is still by my side taking care of me. :) He knows I am hurting and is willing to do anything and everything to help me. I am so blessed he is always there to make me laugh or even rub my back. I just wanted to write a quick post to say thank you to him. I am so blessed he is mine.

{food and laughs}

Friday was our one year anniversary of when Casey popped the question! :) To celebrate, we went to Chesapeake's in Knoxville and then went to see Couples Retreat. First off, the king crab legs at this restaurant are the freshest in Knoxville! Second, the movie is a must see! As usual, Vince Vaughn never disappoints.

{work it out}

Tonight should be an interesting evening. I am off today(thank you Mr. Columbus) and Casey is at work (muahahaha), so I am about to go to the grocery store for some healthy groceries. See, Casey ordered this work-out program called "P90X"... I am sure you have seen the commercials on this program showing how you can "get ripped" in 90 days. Well, we fell for it and I am hoping the thing actually works! Tonight starts day 1 of the 90 day program so my camera is charged and ready for the 'day 1 photo' that we are supposed to take. Maybe at the end of the program I will have enough courage to post these pics, but for now I am off to get Casey's grocery list of "eggs, salsa, and cruncy peanut butter". Wish us luck!!!

{our life}

Where do I begin? I guess I will start off by saying thanks for taking the time to get to know us. Life is a little crazy right now as I am sure it is for everyone. We are newlyweds, living with my parents, trying to build a house, and at the same time trying to stay sane :)

If I could describe us I would say that we love life and laughter. We live life to the fullest and laugh all along the way. Being newlyweds, we both feel that as long as God is first, everything else will fall into place. We aren't perfect, but who is? Everyone has faults and trust me, we have A LOT.

I hope you enjoy our site. Follow along as I will have many updates on the house building, living with the parents, and much MUCH more :)
