This & That

I just realized that my last post was on February 1st...where has this month gone?!?!  Can't believe that tomorrow is the first day of March.  I have to say, though, that it's always a refreshing feeling to start a new month...especially during these cold months it just feels good to know that spring is making it's way around the corner.  

We have made a few road trips the past couple of weeks and that has been fun.  We ended up making a last minute trip to

Oxford for Valentine's Day and it was great.  We hit up two of our favorite restaurants...Boure for lunch and 208 for dinner.  They were delicious!  We did manage to get in a little tennis and shopping in between so that was fun. The weather was beautiful!

A few days later we headed to Memphis for the Regions Morgan Keegan Tennis Championship. His parents had given us tickets to go see Sampras play so we met them there and watched tennis for a couple of days.  It was really fun to watch "the pros" play.  Mrs. Lanny's birthday happened to fall on one of 

the days we were there so it worked out great to be able to celebrate it. Thanks again, Lanny & Bill, for such great tickets and a good time.

On another note, who would have thought that the chance of snow today would be 90%?!?!  Here's to hoping we get a few inches this weekend.  I always seem to be in the place the snow is not so I am hoping that's not the case this time! =)  

Have a great week!

25 things

So, I am a much bigger fan of the blogging world than I am of the facebook world so I thought I would apply the "25 random things about myself" tag to my blog! =) I don't ever do stuff like this but what the heck...And I think I am going to tag on here, so Katey, Courtney and Meredith you're it! =)

1.) I lived in Hazlehurst and went to Copiah Academy through the 7th grade and then moved to Jackson.
2.) I love marking things off my to-do-list
3.) The sound of someone crunching ice is my biggest pet peeve.
4.) I am very obsessive compulsive about balancing our checkbook...at least once a day sometimes twice.
5.) I had to wear a back brace from the 7th to ninth grade b/c of scoliosis. I slept in one for two years and then wore one around the clock for a year...not fun but it kept it from getting worse and we were thankful for that.
6.) I would do high school all over again. I loved it that much.
7.) I could put cheese on everything. It's my favorite.
8.) I have a tendency to be a little "hypochondriac'ish"...the first funny feeling and I have already diagnosed myself with the worst possible diagnosis. So let's just say that having a headache is never a good thing around here...
9.) I love Starkville and everything about it...
10.) My dad calls me "precious durlin" (darling) and I love that.
11.) I talk to my mom everyday...most days more than once.
11.) Chrysalis/Crossroads was one of the best things I ever did. It blessed me so much and I absolutely love being involved with it now.
12.) My mil (mother-in-law) and I are super close.
13.) I am always moving furniture, accessories, etc. around at our house...I love changing things up!
14.) Nobody really had alot of faith in me before I got married that I would be able to cook (esp. my mates and Mary Stewart) b/c of the terrible job (aka cookies that turned out like a sheet of concrete) I did beforehand. Needless to say, things are a little different now thank goodness--I have discovered slice and bake =)
15.) Going back and visiting Oxford is one of my favorite things to do. (We lived there for two years). I never thought this MSU fan would say that but it's the truth =)
16.) Diet coke is my weakness.
17.) I talk in my sleep alot.
18.) I really don't care to go to the movies at all. I will go see a girly one every now and then but that's rare.
19.) The Mustard Seed (antique store in Oxford) is my favorite place to shop for furniture, etc.
20.) I am very particular about my hair. I roll it everyday and could never make it without hair spray =)
21.) I take a bath every night before I go to bed. It totally relaxes me and I am convinced I sleep better because of it!
22.) Bulldog Deli is my favorite restaurant. Period.
23.) I use to get really homesick when I was little (just ask Meredith).
24.) I have some of the greatest friends in the world. I could write 25 things just on them. I would be in a loony bin without them. =)
25.)And saving the best for last...I knew after a month of dating Larkin that I would marry him someday. And no, the 15 breakups in a 3 year period never really put that "knowing" to rest. I knew in my heart it would happen and it did. I have been the happiest girl ever since! =)
