Worst Week Ever

Well this week has been the worst week ever!!!!! Monday night while we should have been sleeping nicely and comfyly (hee hee) my stomach decided to SCREAM at me. I woke Bill up and told him something was very wrong!!! Then I ran....to the porcelain throne!!!! We became friends, the procelain throne and I. Whew, it was pure torture. Being sick is completely and utterly not fun. But, I had the most amazing Nurse anyone could ask for. Who you might ask.. Well, he's strong handsome and perfect..Yep, Bill took such good care of me. He helped me get in and out of bed, he held my cup while I drank what I could. He cleaned up any mess I made (which were big) ...he even went to the store at 4 am to get me ginger ale. Then again at 6 am to get me straws. Well anyway, I'm glad that's over!! I feel much better!! I'm so glad that Bill was here to take care of me!! I'm so lucky to have him! Now, I can look forward to Christmas and seeing my family!!!

Happy Birthday to Bill

Last week was Bill's 26th Birthday!! He enjoyed his birthday!!! It's been a tradition in his family to put up the Christmas tree on his birthday, so I had to wait what seemed like forever to put up our tree. I convinced him to let us put up the tree the day before actually...and then we decorated it on his birthday!!! He spoils me!!

Then at Midnight I surprised Bill with his birthday cake. I also invited Bill's good friend Eric over to celebrate with us. Eric is graduating in May and leaving us, so I want Bill to spend as much time with him before he goes out in the real world....

















Here is Bill teaching Eric how to do a Tim Tam Slam. While Bill was on his mission in Australia, tim tam slams were a common thing so he loves them. It's just a chocolate bar (very tasty i might add) and you bite the ends off and suck hot milo through it like a straw until the chocolate melts then

eat it...it's very messy, but oh so good!

Then when we woke up the next day and we decorated our tree!! It was so fun!!!

Christmas is my favorite time of year, I'm so thankful that I get to spend it with Bill...this is our first Christmas together!

I forget all of the time to write down what Bill and I have been up to lately! Well, this past weekend my girlfriends and I (Bill came too) went to see the movie Twilight.. Oh my goodness, I really liked the movie..of course some things were left out from the book; but overall I loved it! My friends and I were just going crazy waiting to see the movie..it was like we were teen girls waiting for the most anticipated romance of all time to show on screen, when it finally came we melted at the first glance of Edward's eyes. Poor Bill had to listen to every girl sitting in that theater sighing and whispering, although he has spent the past 4 months reading the book vicariously through me so he should understand!!! After the movie was finished I came straight home and started reading it...again, I just had to experience it again. Hopefully during Thanksgiving my mother-in-law will want to see, so I can see it again...SCORE!!! :)

Halloween

Last night we went to a Halloween party and had a blast!! Bill and I dressed up as Gomez and Morticia Addams. I took an old dress that I've had forever and stitched some fabric on the bottom and added a sweater over the top, wore a wig and tada I was Morticia!!! Bill had a suit so we just got him a fake mustache and wa la..he was Gomez! The party was so fun, we played this game where you have to act out an occupation, location, and murder weapon so people on your team can guess what it is!! I really get in to any kinds of games so it was a blast!! Then we had a doughnut eating contest, Bill dominated...but I got him all stickey!!! The food was delicious! I've never had homemade rootbeer...it's made with rootbeer extract and dry ice!! Who'd of thought!! It was so cool, it was smoking!! It tasted just like rootbeer you buy from the store!! I made brownies in cupcakes and put orange frosting on top of them! Anyway, we had a very fun Halloween with our friends!!

I was acting out a canon...I was supposed to be a human canon... this was the occupation


I was acting out using the bathroom..this is was the place..the weapon was a chicken bone, but we didn't get a picture of me gnawing on a chicken bone!! Oh, and I accidentally ripped the bottom of my dress!!! (at least my costume lasted for a little while!! tee hee)
Bill was acting out an accountant and Keith seemed to know what he was doing!!

The little vampire himself, William!!
The Little Phantom, David!
The location was a roller coaster! WEEEE
Keith killed Bill with a HANGER!! OH NO!

Doughnut eating...I was all over the place, I even got sugar in Bill's hair..tee hee

Football time in Tennessee

Last weekend Bill and I went to the football game. Bill had a lot of fun, it was ok for me.. I was very very cold!!!! Our team lost pretty badly to Alabama, but the band did a really good job. (Honestly, I only go to games to see the band!!!)I'm bundled trying to stay warm!
The band did a really good job!! They sounded really good!! Bill missed being in the band

Well, It's getting chilly here in Knoxville. Last night we both were so cold. We turned the heat on but it didn't do much. Bill's been sick so I'm sure the the cold doesn't help him any (poor baby). So Bill make some delicious Chili today. It was just like I remember my mom making. It warmed us both up.

A fun Weekend with the family.

For Fall Break we traveled twelve hours from Knoxville to Athens GA to pick up my mom from a conference and from there on to my parent's house in south GA. It was a very long day and Bill was exhausted at the end of the trip. Friday we went to Valdosta and I got a hair cut. it was AMAZING!! On Saturday Bill and My dad killed 12 chickens and My mom and I de-boned them and canned the meat. Bill actually killed 3 chickens on his own. I don't want to bore anyone with the gross pictures. So here's a few of the nicer ones.

My Dad grilled us a yummy steak for dinner.

Bill helped too.
(Nice boots, Bill)

Me and the two "puppies" Lady and Amadeus.

The baby turkeys from the summer are getting so big now.

Tuesdays, I have an 8 am class...normally I wake up, get ready, eat and then leave. Bill stays in bed and sometimes eats with me. But today was different!!! Today Bill woke me up around 6 (which is when I usually wake up) and I smelled eggs and bacon!!! He had made breakfast!!! Unfortunately Bill had been awake since 3 this morning, so he figured he'd make me a hot breakfast instead of the usual bagel or cereal!! I was sooo happy when i smelled the yumminess of eggs and bacon!!! I love him so much!! He is going on three hours of sleep today!! He'll sleep good tonight, I hope.

OutVOLS - Night Out on campus

We started out at the Greek Orthodox Church for the Greek Fest! Food was sooo good!! My favorite was Baklava, which is the only name I remember or else I would describe all of the other pastries we had! After that we went to an activity UT was having called OutVOLS VOLnight Long! We went mechanical calf roping, mechanical bull riding, Jousting, sang karaoke, and went bowling. We had sooo much fun!!! We stayed out until 1:30 in the morning, we were very tired saturday to say the least!!!


The Baklava is at the very bottom closest to my hand!


I caught the calf my third try!!
Try as he might, Bill is no calf roper!
I stayed on for like 6 seconds!! YAY!

Bill's best time was 10 seconds!


I dominated the first round of jousting, then again I cheated a little..tee hee. But still I pushed Bill off!!!

Then Bill won the second round fair and square.

Bye Bye Bye - N'sync

I'm not very good at bowling, Bill won both games!

Date Night - KSO

Last night, Friday the 19th, Bill took me to the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra! It was so amazing!! The people were very talented! I got some pictures of the building, but I couldn't take any pictures of the orchestra. The inside of the building was breath taking!! Bill and I got all dressed up, it was a lot of fun! I wore a very pretty black gown with a red bolero, that looks like it's from the twenties; Bill wore a nice black suit with a red shirt!! We matched, tee hee. I enjoyed our date night!!
