Ab Circle Pro Week 1

So Patrick and I bought us for Christmas the Ab Circle Pro. It has been 1 week today since we began this workout! The Machine itself is not hard at all, remembering to do it however, is a little bit of the challenge. I can't lie I missed a day and had to do double this weekend, but I have been faithful so far each day or night to do 30 sets of each workout. It is a lot of fun, and so far, I haven't been on a scale but I can tell it is already changing!!
Let's see what this coming week does for us... It is a 2 week .. loose 10 pound challenge!!

Cold Winter

It is very cold today, and has been most of this week!! From what we hear it is never this cold here at this time of the year. This morning as I walked our little Princess outside it was 25 degrees.. I believe the high today is only 45, however tomorrow, January 7th will be no higher then 37 all day! So we are definately feeling that Winter Weather, we thought we had left behind us in Greenville. Guess Not :) ...  Stay Warm everyone!!!

Relocating in Charleston

We will be relocating to a new Apartment on the 14th of this month!! We have loved the Condo, and our landlord has been such a blessing.. God has opened a door for us to move into a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment and the rent is a blessing too!! We will be packing up and setting up house again! I can't wait to actually have a pantry and more cabinets. It will fill like Christmas again to open all our Wedding gifts and finally get to put them all out in the new place. I am sure Princess will like it as well, and a room all to herself :) . Please pray for us as we move and settle in and Patrick continues this Semester as well. He will begin coaching Baseball soon, so pray it is a smooth transition, all in time for Spring Football :) . I love him more everyday, and I am so blessed to have him in my life! Right now I am just a stay at home housewife, but I will be looking for a job in the next few weeks, please pray for me and that job hunt as well!

New Years and My Birthday


We got back to Charleston on the 29th and spent the next few days unpacking Christmas and getting Princess familiar to her new home!! We had a few days before Patrick went back to work to have a small vacation together. We celebrated my Birthday on New Years Eve. I turned 26 this year... wow.. I feel old :) . We enjoyed Princess keeping us company as well. Patrick did a great job on my Birthday, we went to downtown that day and looked around the shops and ate lunch. Then we came home and got ready for dinner. Patrick took me to Outback and then home to watch the ball drop at midnight!! I enjoyed being married this New Year's Eve.. it was a great Birthday!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I pray God continues to bless us this coming year, 2010 is going to be a great year, with new challenges, memories, moves and friends.
We rested on New Years day and watched our teams play in their bowl games. Florida State played and honored Coach Bobby Bowden in his last game coaching.. it was a great win for them! We then watched Florida play in the Sugar bowl that night, for Tebow's last game as well.. They had a great win too... So all together it was a great Football day in our house!!  We also got to Meet Emma Deyton.. The Deyton family blessed me with a place to live while in Greenville, and they are like another family to me. They welcomed little Emma on November 30th 2009. She was so sweet and we enjoyed their company on the 3rd.

Christmas in Jacksonville with My Family

We left on Christmas eve and headed down to Jacksonville. We finally caught back up with our little puppy Princess, my sister had been watching her since before the Wedding for us. Thank you a million times Rach and Bryan!!! We woke up Christmas morning, and had Christmas with my Parents, brother, and my sister Rachel and her Husband Bryan and their beautiful baby girl Jadyn, who was born June 4th. It was a great Christmas in our home with two additions, my Hubby Patrick and little Jadyn. It was fun to see her open her gifts and spend the day with  my family. I have learned in just a year how great it is to be an Aunt. Jadyn is so much fun to watch and play with, I do wish I saw them a lot more. I plan to make sure she knows she has a fabulous Aunt!! Once again we had our traditional brunch on Christmas morning, Rachel did a great job and so did mom making the dishes, we did not go hungry for sure. That night we went to Ocala and had Christmas with all the Coram's. It was a lot of fun. We got to spend some time with Amy and Justin. Amy is my cousin and she was married on October 10th, she is not only my cousin but best friend. It was nice to see them. We traveled back to Jacksonville that night, and got to spend Saturday watching the boys play video games, and see little Jadyn some more before Rach and Bryan left for Augusta.  It was fun to spend a day or so with them, next time it must be longer. Patrick and I stayed and visited with my family until the 29th. We went out to eat to celebrate my upcoming birthday and watched Avatar and Christmas Carol. We also got to join them for church on Sunday morning, it was a wonderful service both morning and night! Monday was shopping, and playing Scrabble together. For the Record I bet Patrick at Scrabble and I have witnesses. This will only happen once, but I enjoyed it still. It was a wonderful Christmas in Jacksonville as well!! Memories and Traditions keep growing and we loved every minute of it.

Christmas Time in Lakeland with the Turners

Christmas was so much fun this year, it was different to be married and share Christmas not only with my family and traditions but with my Husbands. However, as different as it was, it was also a lot of great new memories, traditions and a lot of fun! We began our Christmas by stating for Patrick and I we will split our time each year with our Families, rotating each year so our families can see us on Christmas day! 

This year we started Christmas on Sunday the 20th thru the 24th with the Turners. We had a great time traveling to Lakeland and making fun memories. We had a blast staying with Patrick's brother Matt and his wife Rayna for the Holidays. Patrick's parents, grandma and our nephews and niece were there as well. It was the first time we were all under one roof, and it was a so fun :).  Matt and Rayna were so sweet to open their home for the Holidays this year. They had a new addition this year, little Logan was born in June. I have 3 beautiful niece and nephews on the Turner side, and I enjoyed spending several days with them.. 4, 2, and 6 months, so it was never a dull moment for sure!!   We played games at night, Scrabble, Balderdash and Phase 10. It was fun to sit and enjoy some vacation time with the family and all of us let out our fun sides for a while.. We ate amazing there as well, as Rayna prepared some great meals!!  Christmas eve was fun, we opened gifts that morning. Patrick and I were so blessed with so many wonderful gifts from his Parents and  Matt and Rayna. We enjoyed watching the kids open and enjoy theirs as well.  Then we headed to the park and enjoyed some time with the kids and playing. It was such a nice Florida day too. Christmas was very fun this year, and look forward to seeing all the family again soon.

Our First Christmas

Christmas Day for Patrick and I was celebrated the Saturday before Christmas. We enjoyed a day of making new traditions. He sure did a great job this Christmas, I got a beautiful new watch, some very beautiful shirts and stocking full of bath smells and lotions.  He seemed to rack up as well :) We had a great day then just shopping around, as everyone one else was out trying to finish up their shopping lists!  Then we headed home to have some Chocolate Chip Pancakes. It was a fun relaxing day before heading towards Florida!... I am so blessed with an amazing Husband, and this Christmas it brought so much more meaning to Christmas and family and God's ultimate Blessings and Mercy on our lives!! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Charleston South Carolina

After our Honeymoon, we headed towards our new home, in Charleston South Carolina.  Patrick had been living there since August. He coaches football and teaches at James Island Charter High School. Charleston is a very historical city. We are finding our way around and loving the chances we get to site see a little bit and find out about all this history here. At the moment we are living in a Condo, in West Ashley. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo. We do like the location alot, we are just searching for the right place to call home for a while, if God continues to allow us to stay here. For the first few weeks home however, unpacking, settling in and Christmas shopping was on top of our list. Christmas came quickly after the Wedding and moving in. We enjoyed some of James Island and toured Christmas lights, and found our way to the mall to finish up our shopping all before heading to family for the Holidays!! My favorite part so far together has been putting up our Christmas tree, and enjoying the new memories of being married this Christmas season!

Disney World

After the Wedding we got to spend a wonderful week at Disney World. It was an incredible honeymoon. We stayed at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort, called the Magnolia Mansion. It was so beautiful there!! During our stay we got to visit all 4 parks, and eat some amazing meals as well. Disney World has grown and changed so much since either one of us had gone, and we enjoyed it very much. It was fun to actually sit back and ride rides, play games, and enjoy the time together the phone could not provide while dating. Disney World is definately a magical place!!
