Midnight Yell

First Midnight Yell in the SEC!

First Midnight Yell as an engaged couple!

First Midnight Yell of Gumnar's senior year!

I'm glad I'm marrying an Aggie! Whoop!

First wedding gift

Sara came to visit me the three days before I left for Colorado to go see Gunnar and uhh kinda GET ENGAGED!! Well she knew it would be kinda a bummer to come home without him so she hid an "engagement gift" in my room. She made this S for us and bought me a smash journal to use as a wedding planning book and included a wedding magazine, sour gummy worms and a manicure!! What a great sister!!

Little Miss Lilah Joy

I promise I'm going to post on my marathon experience soon but in the meantime I wanted to give this little lovely some screen time. I sure enjoyed getting to spend some time with the Thompson clan!

Baseball

First baseball game at the new stadium for us!! It's so much nicer than the old one :)

Puppy!

So I really have fallen behind on this whole blogging thing but for those of you who don't have a facebook and happen to look at this I'd like to introduce you to JC. Quite possibly the best and cutest puppy EVER!! She's a full blood catahoula and so fun!

Recap

So just a list, more for myself, of some important moments in the last few months that I want to remember....

In no particular order.....

• I was inspired and begin training to run a marathon. I will run the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon on April 29th. My cousins were "fighting" over Christmas trying to bribe me into coming to either OKC or Chicago to run but since the Chicago marathon isn't until October and who knows what I'll be doing then or if I'll still be motivated I decided to run the OKC marathon. (plus I've visited the Chicago cousins and have never visited to OKC cousins)

• Speaking of OKC cousins I got to meet baby Lilah and she is a beautiful chunky monkey! And I got to have a thoughtful and wonderful heart to heart with her mama!!

• I ALSO got to meet baby SIMON who is also a beautiful chunky monkey but in his defense the SMALLEST Beaver newborn yet! :)
  

• I had to go to the ER for the first time in my life (it wasn't really an emergency but it was a Sunday night so nothing else was open)

• I have had two more staph infections that required doctor visits (hence the above mentioned ER visit)

• Gunnar got to meet Grandmother (my great grandmother who is 96) This was important to me. I wanted her blessing I guess. She was married to my great grandfather, Granddaddy, for 78 years when he passed away. Now she is the matriarch of our family and I wanted him to meet her at least once.
  

• Gunnar shot a pig with his bow from 30 yards! First pig with his bow. Perfect shot right through the lungs! He came and grabbed a bunch of us, cousins and uncles and such to help "find" it. (He had already found it but wanted show everyone and got us into the chase)
  

• Shot a buck at Sherwood. This was my first time to shoot a deer with Gunnar (we're still not sure how that happened that we dated so long without me shooting one with him) It was TOTALLY fun!!!'

• Ground and made my own hamburger meat with my own buck!! YUM!

• Car broke down so I got stuck in Mertzon for a week longer than planned.
  
• IT SNOWED in Mertzon and because I had gotten stuck there I was able to enjoy it!!
  
• Got to attend a Jesse Duplantis meeting! Several seeds were planted in my heart that the Lord has been bringing some serious revelation and illumination on ever since! Afterwards I initiated a brutal and deadly snowball fight with Penny, Jonathan, Reb and Gunnar! I'm telling ya, only the tough survived!!

• Went of a family hike :)

• I got an iphone!!
  

• I'm still dating a wonderful man who is so good to me and whose desire for the Lord is encouraging and contagious.

• The Lord is exploding Psalm 23! Its like I've never read it before! I'm loving it!! The Lord is so faithful and such a good teacher!
