It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…

Good evening ladies!! I hope you all had a wonderful Saturday. I had a very BUSY but also a very PRODUCTIVE day. I left the house around 9:0o this morning and picked my Mom up to go shopping. And I am proud to say, actually started my Christmas shopping. Believe it or not, I actually got the majority of it finished today.

Nothing like some major power shopping the Saturday before Christmas with all of the other “crazies” to get you in the Holiday spirits! LOL!! But it really was a very enjoyable day with my Mom.

Then this evening my husband and I spent some much needed QT together. We went to Historical St Charles, MO where we had some dinner and strolled down Main Street. It was SO pretty!! COLD but pretty. But the cold just gave me an extra excuse to pop into my favorite Prim shops. LOL!!

Anyway, in the town of St. Charles, they celebrate an Old Time Christmas that is just the neatest thing. I will try to share more pictures tomorrow...but for know, there is more things to check off that list!!

Hugs!! Carrie♥

Date Night Update

♥First and foremost, I would like to ask all of you to continue to pray for Baby Harper and her family!! Baby Harper is a very sick little girl who is proving to be a fighter but still needs all of our prayers!!♥

♥Secondly, please pray for my brother, sister-in-law and my two precious neices. My sister-in-law had to bury her brother today. He was only 55 years old and had lost his 7 year battle to Leukemia this past Tuesday. We all know he is at peace now, but it is still a tragic loss♥

And last but not least...for all of you following my blog, tonight was "Date Night". WOO HOO!! What a fun time we had!!

Which I have to admit, I found myself feeling guilty for!! After attending the funeral this morning and having the Stamp family on my mind all day today, it felt a little strange going and trying to have a good time. But with the year anniversary of my Mother-in-law's death, I think tonight was exactly what "Big Daddy" needed!!

I was so excited, I even brought the camera along. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of dinner or the actual show. With the show, it had been a while since I had been to the Fox Theatre and I wasn't sure what their camera policy was. And being new to this whole blogging thing...I kinda forgot the camera in the car at dinner. Ooops!!

But here are a few pictures...but PLEASE be nice!! I am telling you I am the LEAST photogenic person I know. Usually, my eyes are closed or I end up having a really goofy expression on my face. But since I realized I have NEVER posted a picture of myself on my blog, I figured it was time to bite the bullet.

Needless to say, this pic was the best one of the bunch. (BTW, just ignore the gum hanging out of my mouth!! I am SUCH the lady!! I am telling you, I make my Mama proud!!)

Here is "Big Daddy" and myself getting ready to pull out of the driveway...



On our way here...



To see...



And what a good show it was. I think I even peed my pants!! Seriously, it was such a nice evening. I give this "Date Night" a A+!!

Date Night....and Giveaway Reminder!!

I am SO excited!! This coming Saturday, my husband and I are going out for a "Date Night". I know this may not sound too exciting to some of you but for us it's kinda new territory.

You see when the kids were younger, my husband was in the military so we either too afraid to leave them with anybody (since we weren't around any family), didn't have the extra $$$ or we were too tired (kids were only 22 months apart) to go on too many "Date Nights". And as time went on, our busy lives got the best of us.

So, now that the kids are 17 and 15 and they have more of a social life than we do. LOL!! Not to mention, the fact that we are starting to realize that pretty soon it will just be the two of us again. We figure we better start finding some common interests, so we have decided we are going to start having weekly "Date Nights".

And guess where we are going this Saturday!?!?!?



Yep, we are going to see Larry The Cable Guy LIVE!! LOVE this guy...TOO funny!!!!!!
