HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO BRENT AND I!!!

As of tomorrow, December 20th, Brent and I have been married 2 years!!! and will have technically been together for 7 1/2! i cannot believe how fast it has gone! i feel like i have known him forever (in a great way :)) and we're still a "fresh pair"- its a wonderful feeling! i am soo incredibly blessed to have such an amazing, funny, caring, all around FANTASTIC man to call my husband. we learned new things about each other everyday and appreciate the funny little quarks that make us the interesting people that we are! to marry your best friend and be even more in love with him every day is an incredible thing!!! thank you lovemunch for choosing me! :) love you!

Also, 2 years ago Brent and I had the MOST AMAZING WEDDING EVER! the weather, the ambiance, my WONDERFUL family and friends, the staff, the place, the decor.....THE ENTIRE DAY was incredible and i wish i could relive it over and over again. I could not have done it without my amazing mom and dad, supportive sister and friends, supportive husband (obviously), awesome in-laws, i could go on and on! i really cannot express how thankful i truely am! :)

aaaand my amazing wedding photographer who took pictures that we honestly still look at on a daily basis because they are just that INCREDIBLE! as a toast to the day heres a little Lauren and Brent wedding day viewing for the blog world!

also....i

id also like to do a little bragging if i may. Last Friday my alma matter the Henderson Lions won thier first state championship in school history!!! aand it was in Cowboy Stadium which was AMAZING as well. My dad has been coaching there for 34 years now and will prob retire before this opportunity comes around again so i cannot even begin to express how PROUD and EXCITED  i am for him and my mom for all her support throughout these years! dad even got to be the "toter of the trophy" for the drive back from Dallas... honestly, if it werent for that beauty we prob wouldnt have the picture below....the only reason we got the star cowboy treatment was b/c dad was holding it lol. even better....we had practically the entire town of henderson in attendance to witness it and i got to see a bunch of my family that i sadly will not get to see at Christmas this year so that was really special as well! CONGRATS to the team, coaches, coaches wife, faithful fans, etc... it was an awesome night

ooooh i have been sooo bad!

sorry for my absence blog world... i have been thinking about you i promise! and i have been making all kinds of good things however MOST of those things are Christmas presents so i cant really post anything till after it has been gifted to that special someone. but i do have some exciting things to show you..... for one..... Christmas decorations! this year i was determined not to spend any money on any Christmas decorations because Lord knows i have PLENTY (getting married around Christmas gives ya a good excuse). however due to the absolute LACK of holiday both at Thanksgiving and what will be repeated next week for Christmas, i was not able to get all of my decorations from the rents house to fully go all out...regardless its still a jolly merry Christmas at the Lows so lets get to the showing.....



our lovely little tree and fireplace

i actually constructed this tree myself! super easy and turned out really cute! all i used was a little paper mache tree, used the cricket to cut out "balloon" shapes in different paper and glued them on...tad da cute paper tree!!!



Merry Season!!
