IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

Q: What does a blog post covering the past 3 months of newly married life look like?
A: A LOT OF PICTURES!!!

DECEMBER

Remember our homemade Christmas gifts that blew up my twitter? Well, here are just a few of all the frames we made.

JANUARY

There aren't too many photos to document January. We've been living with Jimmy's parents in Sugar Land while we wait for our house to close. The original closing date was January 26th and keeps being pushed back. I have been waiting to show everyone a picture of the house until we actually own it, so be looking out for that (hopefully) very soon!! The highlight of living at the Griffins, by far, is getting to hang out with and form relationships with my 2 younger brothers-in-law. They are so funny, and crazy, and goofy-but they have the biggest hearts. It has been a blessing to witness how the Griffins do life.

Here are some pics of the freeze though...

FEBRUARY

To start the month off right, I gave Jimmy and Josh haircuts! It was the first time I had ever cut Jimmy's (or anyone's) hair. I would say it was a success because neither one of them is bald! Here is Jimmy's haircut: before, during, and after!

On Friday, Jimmy and I went down to Surfside to have a relaxing Valentine's date. Despite not having water or heat when we first arrived, we had a great time filled with the finest cuisine... ;)



We had a very laid back Valentine's Day, since technically our gift to each other is a house AND a hot water heater which we will need as soon as we move in. Jimmy was so sweet and got me flowers in a wine decanter (which we needed, smart man), and a card while I got him IBC Cream Soda (in lieu of flowers) and a card. It was the first time I could look for cards in the "HUSBAND" section!! That was fun!! I think I lingered in the Target card aisle a little longer than necessary just to soak in all the husband-ness I could. :)
