Ode To Brown and Katherine Johnson

Brown gets the picture, sorry Katherine because the two of us couldn't be in an action shot since we were hanging out with Jack and Kate instead!

This is a week late, but I need to publicly put a very large THANK YOU out to Brown and Katherine for helping a poor sad wife who just wanted her two new light fixtures put up in her house. Scott went out of town last weekend and so I asked Katherine if Brown could help me put them up in our house. Just like any loving wife she volunteered him for the job. And they were at my house for WAY longer than they had anticipated last Saturday, but the end result was great. Brown's arm was getting sore from the many hours of devotion to my house, while Katherine and I sat comfortably on the couch watching the DVD of the last episode of Lost. And on that note, they also get many many points for being my inspiration for starting the Lost obsession and finishing all four seasons in the months of December and the beginning on January. So... Brown and Katherine, this blog is for you!! Thank you sooo much for all your help

Quite Some Time...

So it has been quite a while since I have updated this little blog, and we have had a crazy past month. So here is a little catching up, pictures to follow! December was the month of the Christmas party for us, every weekend was packed with at least one party to go to. We had a blast, with tons of dirty Santa, great food, fabulous parties, (even a cookie and cocoa party), and of course are friends. It is always so fun to have big events to look forward to with your favorite people. We started the month off with Brent's famous Tackey Christmas party. Scott and I went with a theme as we usually do, but this year's theme was lets just say interesting. Our theme was "iron on", High School Musical. We had the whole HSM gang on our Walmart sweatsuit sets. Of course, me with a red sweat shirt and green pants , and Scott with the opposite. It was classic!!

Then onto Christmas Party at the Cochran's, with Santa Wes leading the way. It was so fun and the entertainment was priceless (thanks for that Elliott and Wes)!!! Next on our list was the Christmas Feast, and it was exactly as it sounds. Liz and Grant went our of their way to impress a pretty large group of hungry friends. We had a wonderful time at their house, and it was decorated perfectly, props to Liz!!!

The week before Christmas was great with an Amy Grant and Vince Gill Christmas concert in Atlanta with a bunch of fun girls, Bradley and Sarah's Christmas Cookie and Cocoa which was adorable, and of course the Cordell Christmas party which has been a yearly event since Scot was born. Let's just say that we are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to love us so much! What a blessing.

Christmas was perfect, we went up to Franklin to spend some time with my family and then back to Birmingham for Christmas with the Howells. We had wonderful time with family and Scott and I even won the Howell family quiz, very impressive, yes I know!!

The week after Christmas on Wednesday I met up with 5 of our favorite couples and made the trip down to Fort Walton Beach, FL. We were down there until Sunday, so we had a long break which was wonderful. Scott came down on Friday to make it even better. We had such a great time getting to spend a bunch of quality time with so many of the people that we love. Let's just say that by the time Scott and I made it home, we were exhausted and all we wanted to do, was sit on the couch and watch Lost, (which is my new obsessions, and Lost is so great that it will get it's own post for sure!)

The moral of this very long story is that Scott and I are so blessed with all of our wonderful friends and family, thank you so much for who you are in our lives!!!

2009 will be amazing if it has all of you in it! We love you!!
