Christmas Morning!

We had so much fun in Tulsa with Cole's family. We had lots of food and got some great presents. Hope you all were blessed with the knowledge of a Savior who has come to set us free. Be blessed in the New Year!

BCM Christmas Banquet

The BCM Christmas banquet is the night after fireside impact..talk about a long week! We used the fellowship hall at University Baptist Church. The dinner was provided by AQ chicken. We also had a blast making our own banquet CD. Each table got to pick a song and sing it in front of the whole group while we recorded it to put on a CD that they could pick up later. After dinner, we headed back to the BCM for karaoke and let me tell you we have some HAMS in the BCM.

Fireside Impact

Cole works for the BCM here at the Univeristy of Arkansas. It is a long standing tradition that the last impact of the fall semester be held downstairs in the BCM by the fireplace. The whole BCM is decorated by students who also provide snacks and hot drinks during the event. We sit around, hear the Christmas story from Luke, and sing praises to the Savior whom this season is about. You can tell by the pictures we had a great time during this cozy evening.

O Christmas Tree!!!

So, on our way home from Thanksgiving, we stopped in Tulsa to see Cole's parents. While there, we got our Christmas tree at a tree farm just up the road from their house. It was a blast. We had cider while everyone took a turn cutting down the tree. Cole's brother, Luke, even decided to get a bit "wrapped up" in everything. A great time was had by all!

Long time no see!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My digital camera died and I had to wait until now to post. My wonderful husband got me a new camera for Christmas and I got it the day after Thanksgiving. We spent our Thanksgiving with my mom's extended family outside of Donaldson, AR. We spend the day at a cabin in the woods with no electricity or runnning water. We all spend the night at a hotel in town and then go back out again on Friday to "play pilgrims" some more. Enjoy!

Arkansas vs. Alabama

We were so blessed today to recieve free tickets to the game even though we lost...bummer. But it was a perfect day for football. We especially enjoyed watching the band perform the thriller dance at halftime. Coming soon...Arkansas vs. Florida :)

UBC Fall Retreat

Two weekends ago, the college ministry at our church went on fall retreat. We went to a campground out at Beaver Lake and enjoyed an awesome weekend. It started out a little wet and a little cool, but ended up being beautiful on Saturday. Cole designed and made a giant inflatible slip n' slide that was a huge hit. It was an awesome time to fellowship and have fun as we get to know the new students that are coming to be a part of our ministry.

Honeymoon Pictures

Hey! I thought I would post some pics up from our honeymoon. We went to sunny San Diego, CA. We ate lots of great food, saw amazing sites, and got lots of good rest from 6 months of wedding planning. We went to the zoo, ate in Little Italy, visited the gas lamp district, and went to both Coronado and La Jolla to go to the beach. Enjoy!
