Family Addition

I bet you thought this was going to be an announcement that Kelli was pregnant didn't you? Not yet... Hold your horses. In February of 2008 we bought a female Blue Weimaraner from a family in Magee, MS. We named her Kady. She has so much energy and loves to dig and bark! She's a momma's girl and doesn't seem too interested in doing manly things. EX: Hunting. She goes squirrel hunting with me from time to time but has no interest in the sport at all. Our other dog, Roxy, a Red-Nose Pitbull, absolutely loves it though. Maybe one day Kady will come around. Who knows, she might like trailing deer.

SNOW!!!

January 19, 2008

Today it snowed so hard! And it actually stuck to! Usually it rains a lot down here before it starts snowing so it turns into this nasty slush that you can't play in. Well this time it was pretty fluffy, especially for Mississippi.

Christmas 2007

Our first Christmas together! And it was a wonderful first Christmas! I got a much needed Scent Lock duffel bag to store all of my hunting clothes in and Kelli got a White and Blue Ski Jacket from Santa! She got to use it too when we went to UTAH shortly after! We had a blast out there. We got to visit my mom's side of the family and we also hit the slopes. I went snowboarding while Kelli went skiing for the first time and she did amazing! She practiced for a while on the bunny slopes and then I talked her into riding the lift up to the first stop. She loved it! Anyways, we also visited Kelli's Sister, Tracie, and her husband, Ryan, in Roosevelt. Ryan took me, my brother, and dad pheasant hunting. We had another awesome experience. What a fun trip! Can't wait to go back!

Honeymoon

November 22 - 26, 2007

For our Honeymoon we went on a Cruise to Cozumel. We shipped on the Fantasy with Carnival Cruise Lines. What an amazing experience! We were truly treated like a King and Queen. We stayed on the Veranda deck in a suite and even had our own balcony. The food was absolutely amazing, as was the shows and activities. We saw a magic show and a few comedy shows. They even had a show called "A Tribute to the Beetles" that was actually pretty good. Once we docked at the pier we got off the ship and traveled by taxi to a resort where we were given our own speed boat and played in the waters off shore. We visited a small deserted island for a while before turning back to the resort. Once back we had the best Mexican food we have ever had. My mouth is watering for it right now! After our excursion we walked down the main strip in Cozumel. We visited a bunch of different stores and bought a few souvenirs. We had such a fun time! Can't wait till our next cruise!

Reception

November 17, 2007

Two days later on November 17th, we had our Reception at the Old Stake Center building in Hattiesburg, MS on Broadway Drive. The decorations were phenomenal. We chose a country theme and had hay bells, bob wire, and fence posts, along will corn stalks, gourds, and pumpkins. The whole event was unforgettable. We had a ring ceremony to include all of our family and friends that were not able to attend the temple ceremony where we were initially married for all eternity. After the ceremony there was lots of food and dancing. All enjoyed the evening very much.

Marriage!

November 15, 2007

Kelli and I were married on Thursday, November 15, 2007 at the Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple. We were sealed for time and all eternity in front of our family and friends. This was our happiest day ever!
