Christmas in New Jersey




We got to have a second Christmas with Erics family. Brian and Tiff came in and we opened presents in the morning, and then family came over for dinner. That's me in my hoodie footie pjs sitting on my awesome back massager:) Erics dad made a cute bird house out of erics old license plate from his truck that was traded for the "cash for clunkers" It had some old keepsakes inside and his key in the birdie hole.

Then the day after Christmas we got a huge snow storm...19 inches!!! Jer-z super loved it. He was running, jumping laying down and eating the snow. We drove to Atlantic City the next day (despite the state of emergency warnings) and there were at least 100 cars in ditches, snow plowed in or just abandoned. Everything looked really pretty tho.


We went to Pennsylvania for New Years and ended up staying Friday, Sat, and Sunday with some friends just hanging out. It was very fun and relaxing.

We started work the following week. We are both working long hours and getting home pretty late. Erics mom has been awesome and has dinner ready when we get home around 8:30. We are both working out almost everyday and still eating healthy.

We have had a pretty crazy winter so far...even people from New Jersey think so. As soon as the snow starts to melt we get another storm. We are expecting to get 8-14 inches tonight. Its been a learning, but fun experience for this Texas girl. Thats pretty much all thats going on as of now. We are still loving God, loving each other and love what we are doing!

Wow its been a while

So its been a long time since my last post...I apologize. A lot has gone on since we left Virginia. We went to New Jersey for Thanksgiving and had a great time with Eric's family.


We went to Peddlers Village after Thanksgiving. Its a cute little village with unique stores and all decorated for Christmas.

We flew back to Texas for 3 weeks to see my family and friends. We ended up working our old jobs while we were home, which was a blessing. I got to see my girls for "Girls Night", and Eric got to have his much missed "Man Date" playing Mario Kart with Doug and David.

We went to Santas Wonderland with our roommates and some friends. I made some chocolate covered flavored dipping spoons with some girls for some Christmas presents.


We went to houston a few times. My mom a main character in a Christmas play at church..she performed very well:) I got to see my bro living in California (Jacob), Dallas(Stephen) and Justin who is about to move to Cali. We (by "we" I mean mom) found a clover patch and we found over 50 4 leaf clovers.


We had an early Christmas with my family. And took our famous Family Christmas Picture:) We flew back to New Jersey on Christmas Eve and had Christmas again with Eric's family:) To be continued.....
