Doing it Dave's way

I'm sure by now everyone has heard of Dave Ramsey. Last year for Christmas my husband received Dave Ramsey's book "Financial Peace". Within the first month of reading his book Brandon had me on a very strict budget. I must say at times I would get so frustrated being on this budget because I no longer had the freedom to spend my money on whatever I wanted (not needed). I never realized how much money I was spending on things that didn't matter at all. So now here we are, one year later and the debt snowball is gone! I am proud to say that we are now debt free!!! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to free themselves of debt. It takes a lot of discipline but the contentment in the end is worth it! "Live like no one else now... so that you can live like no one else later" ~Dave Ramsey~

We first met out at Centerville Plantation (which is gorgeous by the way), and then we drove over to the Railroad Square. Attached is a sneak peak =).

Day after Christmas

Well it's the day after Christmas, the hubby is off to work and I am at the house cleaning up the mess. What a wonderful Christmas we had! B definitely spoiled me, and got me everything I need to pursue my photography. There is no better feeling in the world than to know you are supported 100%. That is just one reason out of the hundreds why I love my husband. Why is it that we don't like change? For the past 25 years my family tradition is to spend Christmas Eve with my Dad's side of the family. But this year my Grandma wasn't up for it so B and I spent it with his family. We went to dinner at Julies and then to the 7pm church service. Everything was wonderful and the change wasn't so bad. I just couldn't help but to miss my family. B gave me a big hug and told me "change is good and its time to start our own traditions" (he is always so positive which is another reason why I love him). I also volunteered myself to do the dessert for the Christmas dinner. Tip #1, always READ and FOLLOW the directions carefully. I made things difficult for myself when I grabbed the wrong ingredient for the dessert and drove around frantically to four stores Christmas Eve night just to find them all closed for the holiday. Thank goodness Mrs. Becky saved me when she dumped all of the missing ingredients into a baggy. Note to self: "Just because you look cute when you bake...doesn't mean its going to taste great". Christmas day was an early one. Wake up at 7am, shower, open presents, down two cups of coffee, play with the Poo, off to the In-Laws, breakfast, open presents, drink champagne punch (yummy), hugs, kisses, off to my Mothers, glass of wine, open presents, Yahtzee tournament (i came in second, the hubby was 1st place), few bites of a roast beef sandwich, off to the Grandparents, hugs, kisses, sing, dance, laugh, laugh, laugh, glass of wine, dinner, dessert, gift exchange, laugh, laugh, laugh, head home, unpack car, attempt to clean...didn't last long, bed!

ahhh..the infamous salt and pepper shakers from the Parisian bar

About two years ago these infamous salt and pepper shakers told their story of how they ended up on the Innes table. My family likes to joke about the shape they portray.
