JUST A BIG FAT YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













It has been a while updating this blog...but life ahs been crazy and interesting since the last time I did this blog thing :) I'm pretty much getting MARRIED!!!! Yep...I was asked by Cory Lee Chandler to be his wife on Decemeber 25, 2008! And here is how he did it....

SO, as you all know, Cory is from North Carolina. He decieded that he was going to spend Christmas with his family this year because he ahrdly ever gets to see them. I completely understood, but I was a lil (ok maybe alot) sad that I wouldn't be able to sepnd our first Christmas together. So he left on the 19th of Decemeber and I cried but I knew that I would be seeing him on the 29th beacuse I was flying out there to be with him and his family after Christmas. Until then I enjoyed the holidays with just me and the fam, which was nice.

Well, Christmas day came and I woke up with a sweet phone call from Cory wishing me a Merry Christmas, and of course I cried, but mom and dad were great with making me feel better. Lee and Lindsey were coming in that day, so that made me happy too! It ended up being a great day with lots of food, and then my favorite part...the presents! We never open presents at night, but this year we did. The anticipation just killed me all day! I love opening presents! Lee seemed excited about it too! LOL

So we sit down, and Lee started to hand out the presents to each person (he was Santa this year) He brought the first present to me. It was a red bag, and Lee told me it was from Cory. He said he wanted me to have something since he wasn't here. When I opened it, there was a DVD in it and a card. Lee said "Let's put it in!" So we did, and immediately I start crying. It was a DVD with pictures of us from all throughout the year. And in the background was my favorite song, "Pour My Love on You" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean. I thought it was increidbly sweet and was BALLING my eyes out! I was thinking that GOSh he did such a good job!

Then....at the end of it a blank slide came up, and the doorbell rang....the next slide said I believe that's for you. So, very confused...I sit there and then get up to check the back door. Nobody was there...so I sat down and looked at my family. They weren't saying a thing. The dorbell rang about three more times and so I checked the front door. When I got the the door, I saw the side of CORY!!!!! I was so excited that he had surprised me for Christmas! ...and THEN oh my goodness when I opened the door he got down on one knee.....and ASKED.....WILL YOU MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I freaked out.....and all I wanted was to hug him! Finally I said YES!!!! And finally looked at the ring! GOURGEOUS!!!!!!!!! The family then all came outside with the cameras, and we were all freaking out! It was truly the best night of my life!!! GOOD JOB CORY!!

We are getting married on May 9th, 2009 at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church! Thank you Lord!

FALL....my favorite time of the year!!!






Fall is without a question the absolute best time of the year! 3 reasons why... 1st- much needed cool weather, 2nd- the colors of the trees/ smell of old leaves burning, and 3rd- FOOTBALL SEASON!!! I love it when I can wear jeans and a long sleave shirt, or hoodies, or cute sweaters. I get tired of summer clothes, and fall comes just in time for a much needed change. I LOVE to work in the yard and make burn piles simply because I love the smell. There is just something comforting about that smell..wierd huh? But most of all saturdays in Fall are devoted to Football, whether I am at a game or relaxing on my couch watching the game. (I'm only relaxing if I'm not watching my LSU Tigers) This season has been a dissapointment, but I'm confident that we will get a quarterback soon who can get the job done!

Cory and I got to go to his 1st ever LSU game back in October. It was tons of fun, and we won! Here are a few pics from the day...

Not a Fan of Band Wagons!...oh well :)

If you know me, I am a pretty hard headed independant girl....which means I really have to be convinced to do something before I finally give in! This blog would be one of those times where I finally gave in. I will admit that about 6 or more months ago I didn't even know what a blog was, for which I was chastised by my friend, sweet Elizabeth :) After reading her blog, my friend KB's blog, and many other friend's blogs I decided that I too need to share my wonderful, crazy, too busy life with others! So I hope I do this right and that you enjoy, while learning a little bit about me! So move over on that band wagon and make room for me!!
