One year ago today...

Justin and I are celebrating our first wedding anniversary today! (along with Cinco de Mayo) It is crazy to think that a year has already gone by. I've been thinking about our wedding day a lot lately - thinking about the things that were going on this time last year and how much calmer things are now. It was so much fun though. If I could go back and do just our wedding day over again I would in a heartbeat!



***These are just a few pictures I have on file, most are hardcopies, but this gives you an idea of what a fun day it was. If any of you want to see more, I have plenty and love to show them :)***


I'm sure everyone feels this way to an extent, but our wedding day/weekend was perfect! God gave us beautiful weather, including rain, but still beautiful and the sun shined just in time for pictures and for us to walk down the aisle and give us a perfect evening. The entire day was full of fun - we were surrounded by our best friends and family and it really could not have been more perfect. All of this plus, I got to marry the most wonderful man. I'm not gonna lie, this year has not been the easiest, but there is no one else in the world that I would want to argue with or be frustrated at more than Justin. I'm sure I haven't made things easy on him either, but he hangs in there like a champ and loves me still. I am one lucky woman. I love you babe, Happy Anniversary!

Stay tuned for more to come from this happy couple as we head on down this road called marriage...

My how you've grown!

It's been a while, sorry for the lack of posts. Katie and I have been training for the Nashville Marathon. Ok, not really. BUT we have been to the gym lately, so I guess we're training for next year. Here's a few things that have been going on:

Katie's birthday was on the 13th, so she is now 26. You still look 25 to me baby! We went to Monell's for lunch that day, and we were in country fried heaven.



Katie also had TCAP's at Scales. She was worried about "running the show" so to speak, but everything went very smoothly. On the same subject, we also just found out that she will be at one school next year. So instead of two part-time places, she'll be at Scales full-time.

Our one year anniversary is right around the corner as well. I have joked that we are going to eat at Taco Bell since its Cinco de Mayo and all. Katie doesn't seem to find that joke as funny as I do though. I guess there's always next year...



So that is about it, we haven't had that much going on other than that. Maybel is getting big, she's about 65 pounds and almost 8 months old. We'll be leaving her for the first time next weekend, but she will be with her boyfriend all weekend long. Is 8 months too early to let your kids date? Good thing they're both spayed or neutered. (You're welcome Bob Barker)

I'll leave you with this - I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that read "Get a taste of Religion: Lick a Witch"

A Fun Filled Weekend

We had a non-stop weekend this past weekend and we spent almost all of it with the Farmers and one Jones (sorry you missed it Blake, you were missed). We started it off Friday night with a concert - Tin Pan South is putting on shows to showcase songwriters and we went to hear one of my (KT) favorites, Matt Wertz. It was great, not like a real concert, but still good and we had a good view of the singers. Check him out on iTunes if you are looking for something new, he has some great stuff.
We called it an early night because we were getting up early on Saturday to head to Columbia for Mule Day, 2008! It was the first Mule Day experience for the Farmers and Julie and I think they actually had a good time. It wasn't the best weather, but we saw some mules and got the experience. Maybel and Maverick were along for the trip as well and had a blast! They went non-stop until we were on the way home and then crashed in the back of the car. It was so sweet to see how much they really like being together - so much so that they could have slept separately, but they would rather stay close to each other. Awwww...so sweet. We also made a stop at Super Target on our way home :) That was a special request of mine.
We were all pretty pooped, but of course we couldn't stop there...we had tickets for Lipscomb's Sing-a-rama 2008. It was actually at Otter Creek this year and were able to sneak in a little early, thanks to Mo's working there, and we got great seats. It was tons of fun to watch and it's always a nice walk down memory lane for me, remembering all the fun times in preparing and performing in the show. Needless to say, Sunday was spent recuperating for all three of us. It was a great weekend.

We took a...

This weekend, we all headed to Marietta to see my parents and my brother and sister-in-law. Of course we took Maybel with us too. Pretty soon, we won't be able to take her on trips with us because we don't have a car that will hold all of us. It was very apparent just how big she is getting once we saw her up next to my parent's beagle, Dubs. Josh and Kaitlin (bro and sis-in-law) have a dog (Moseley) too who is probably about a month younger than Maybel. Needless to say, it was a crazy weekend with three dogs in the house. But they all had fun together!

We technically went to also celebrate my birthday which is in a couple of weeks. Mom made a strawberry cake, which is one of my favorites and we went to probably one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Pappasito's. They have the best everything! This time, Justin and I split the Fajitas so we could also have some of the queso :) Pappasito's is a Tenery family favorite - we eat there mainly because we love Mexican food, but this is good ole Tex Mex which takes us back to our Texas days. We usually go every time we make a trip down there.

On Saturday, we got up and actually got out pretty early, for us. We went to eat breakfast at an Atlanta based restaurant that my parents have found and really like called J. Christopher's. Are you seeing a theme? We Tenery's like to eat, a lot :) For you Nashvilians, there's one in Cool Springs now - it was really good and you should check it out. Then we took our first trip to Trader Joe's. This is a really cool grocery store that my brother Luke and his girlfriend Jill told us about that they have in Chicago. They have a lot of Trader Joe's brand foods that are all really good and very reasonably priced. Actually, everything there is reasonably priced. That's one of the major draws of the store. And if you know my dad (DT to many of you) you know that he LOVES a good deal and he thinks it's even better if the product is good and most of the stuff there is. Update: I just heard on the news this morning that Nashville is getting a Trader Joes!!! It is going into the old Wild Oats in Green Hills. I'm totally pumped and I'll keep you updated when I hear it is opening.

Other than those two outings, we didn't do much else. We always enjoy our time at home because it's usually pretty laid back. Justin doesn't like it much when I say that we are going "home to Atlanta" because he thinks that it isn't home anymore - our home is here in Nashville, together. But I disagree, Marietta/Atlanta will always be home to me cause thats where my parents are, but of course my home is with Justin too. Any thoughts?

We're back in Nashville though and I am just posting tonight b/c it's been a crazy busy week (I'm getting ready for TCAP at school, more on that later...) and b/c our friends, who shall remain nameless, just called and hounded us about updating our blog :) I promise I did start this on Monday, I just never finished. Sorry there aren't more pics. - we only took a few of all the dogs playing together, but I'm too lazy to upload them. Sorry, maybe I'll do that later. Hope you are all well and hopefully we'll post again sooner rather than later.

Not a baby anymore...
