For Dawanika... :)

This past weekend was Rachel and Craig's wedding! We had a dadgum blast I tell ya!
Friday night was the lingere/bachelorette party! We had a nice dinner at Breadwinner's followed by some fun times at Becky's house opening up gifts. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.

Saturday Peter and I had a good time just resting and looking at the progress of our new home. It's fully sheetrocked now and they cleaned up ALL of the trash in the front yard. Scary that we will actually take residence there in a month or so. WHOA! I'm pumped. :) I'll post more progress later.

Saturday evening we went downtown to the rehearsal dinner at Mattito's on Turtle Creek Blvd. We had our own room, free margarita's and fun! I laughed so much. I will say, Craig made the most creative video in the world. I was sweating from laughing so hard and tears were streaming down my eyes. Hopefully Rachel will post the video on her blog when she gets back from the honeymoon. Here's some pics from the night.







Isn't Peter's Rat face attractive. I laugh so hard when he does this. I hope this doesn't scare you blog world. :)


Look at these AWESOME robes Rachel gave us with our initial on them! They were so comfortable that we wore them out of the restaurant!!


And, here we are at the wedding! It was at the Hickory Street Annex in downtown Dallas! GREAT view, so cool.
Rachel had the honorary bridesmaids pick a color out of the peacock feather for our dresses. I chose a deep purple. I didn't get a pic of all of us together, but we looked cool. :)


Miriam and Rachel's mom dancing the night away with Craig. Hilarious!!

Afer a glass of wine and some dancin!! I look like a midget here.

Natalie and Rachel on the dance floor!

Peter and I in our wedding duds!


This is Natasha and I being silly. Thomas was actually standing outside and so we though we'd take a picture of her squishing him with her fingers. :) Hilarious.

Thomas, Natasha and Peter (he's a handsome man!)

So, needless to say, after a long weekend of wedding stuff, I have a horrible cold today. It started coming yesterday and it's hit me full force. I haven't had anything like this in well over a year, so I'm just mad. :)

And, without further ado, here's a picture of my neice at Christmas. Please pray for her, she's been in the hospital with RSV. Bless her sweet heart!!

2008?

Is it just me, or did 2007 FLY by.

Highlights of 2007:

January - first month of marriage. WOW! Substitute taught. Not so cool. Enjoyed being a wife this month.

February - Valentine's Day with friends. Went skiing!! THAT was fabulous!

March - travelled to Austin for Peter's brother's wedding. Chopped my hair off.

April - 4 weddings, a crazy engagement "party" to Austin with friends, allergy shots, Maverick's game, etc.

May - baby showers, College girl's weekend, birth of the birds, and got a J-O-B. Ugh.

June - started that job, lots of babies, born, and MORE weddings. Celebrated my birthday at a bed and breakfast

July - Layla-Grayce was born, my neice, we got CHARLIE, our dog back. :) Sent her to the grandparents for the "weekend."

November - THANKSGIVING, moved in with Natasha and Thomas, NYC TRIP, Houston, House BEGUN!!!

December - NYC, White Rock Marathon, Wedding Showers, Christmas parties - well you know you read my blog. :)

Peter and I were praying last night thanking the Lord for an incredible year. The Lord truely blessed us beyond measure.
We prayed that this year is a year of purpose. There are alot of things happening, and we want to stay focused on why we are here, to glorify HIS name.

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pics over the break. In fact, I only took 1 of my neice's. Geez....I'm horrible. :)
Maybe I'll get crackin!

We spent NYE over at Jeremy's house and had a blast playing games. We were to busy playing Scene It on the Nintendo Wii and we actually ALMOST missed midnight. :) It didn't phase us much. I had a great 4 and half day weekend filled with friends, family and fun and food! Can't forget the 4 F's. Now I'm tired of eating and sleeping too much and am back in the game. Sort of. :)

Looking forward to Rachel and Craig's wedding this Sunday. We've got festivites from Friday night-Sunday night and I can't wait!!!!!!!

Till then....I'm getting Carpel Tunnel and should be working.

YESSSSS!!!!

This ladies and gentleman, is my new best friend. This is where I will spend most of my time when we move in. I might turn into a prune.

Peter got some new Chanel glasses. Kidding, they are mine.

Amazing. A Canal Street purchase....

They almost have the siding up. The top and middle will be different colors of khaki/army green and then the bottom will be stone. We got some doors and windows.
And, I met the new puppy that lives across the street.

I love the cedar pillars.

We've had a great week. The doctor I work for is headed to one of the other offices. So, I've been getting used to a new doctor today and tomorrow. Praise the Lord for no patients on Friday afternoon. A half a day extra vacation! :)

Headed to the parents house on Sunday. We will celebrate with both families! I love being married. ;) Keep the Christ in Christmas MOLLY! Geezzzzzz...

We watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation last night. Let me take that back. Everyone else watched it and I fell asleep. I'm sure everyone was glad though because I was quoting every line.

It looks like we'll be moving in to our new home in the middle of February. I have had some pretty major anxiety this week over it. Peter and I both. Huge step and trying to trust the Lord with every move we make. (I know you're secretly busting in to the song right now. If you don't know what it is, disregard.)

Anyways, I don't have much else to say today. Hope everyone has safe travels over the weekend. It doesn't really feel like Christmas yet.

The End.

ONE YEAR of Wedded Bliss...

Peter and I had a fantastic weekend celebrating our anniversary.
Friday night he surprised me with a night's stay at The Omni right near our home. We ate dinner at a very nice restaurant in the hotel. We talked about the events of the last year and thanked the Lord for an easy first year together. It really has been so easy. We enjoyed HD TV in the hotel and went to bed early.
Saturday we woke up around 8 and headed to Corner Bakery for breakfast. We had to hurry because Peter surprised me again with a manicure and pedicure at the Coldwater Creek Salon in Southlake. Let me just tell you....the pedicure that I received might have been the most RELAXING thing in the whole entire world. They put me in this reclining chair that fit perfectly with the contour of my body, covered me with blankets, put a hot wrap around my neck and covered my eyes. I was OUT in a matter of minutes! I didn't have a clue what she was doing except when she wrapped my legs and feet with these warm gushy things. It was wonderful. She had to wake me up when she was finished to do my nails. Thank you Peter!!!
So, with pretty pink toes and manicured nails, I was ready to go. Afterall, it takes an act of congress for me to keep my toenails presentable on a daily basis. No, I don't try very hard.
Then Peter worked on the house most of the day. We headed to church and then to see Will Smith's new movie "I am Legend.' I laughed most of the movie from being scared or watching Peter LEAP out of his seat on SEVERAL occasions. We'd never seen a scary movie together. We RAN to the car after it was over (because if was freezing and maybe the rabbies infected people might get us.) We headed home. Well, home to Natasha and Thomas's. :)
Sunday was a whirwind of a day. My mom and dad flew INTO Dallas at 6:30am. They met us at the house at 7 and we headed over to Ham and Eggs for a HUGE breakfast. We filled up 3 to go boxes for Thomas and Natasha. The poncakes were the size of a wheel on a car. No lie.
Then we drove around and looked at the house and picked up my sister. We went to Southlake, but nothing was really open yet. So, we hit Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrell. Peter and I dreamed of what we will put in our future home. And let me tell, it WON'T be Pottery Barn. What'll I do, is I'll look for Pottery Barn LOOK-A-LIKES FOR CHEAP!!! YESS!!!
We then headed to LUNCH. Didn't we just eat breakfast? It was time to MEET THE FOCKER'S. Yup, we met my sister's fiance's family. It was a good time at Hard Eight Barbeque. I took my parents shopping for a little while after, but had to head home to cook Hashed Brown Potatoe Casserole and Banana Pudding for our Small Group Christmas party last night. We had a White Elephant Ornament exchange. It was good times. But, I was T-I-R-E-D. So, I hit the hay around 10.
MAN, my hands are tired! ;

THE DAY WE BECAME HUSBAND AND WIFE! PRAISE THE LORRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!!!!




WE ATE THE CAKE TOPPER ON OUR ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY. WE KNEW IT WOULD TASTE BETTER! :_)

Peter always has been the man my soul longed for! I never believed it would happen in high school, but, well, the Lord never ceases to amaze me in the story He made for us. If you know us personally, then YOU KNOW the Lord had His hand all over this story! His story!
I am so thankful that I have gotten to do life with this man for the past year and 7 months. I still have that twinkle in my eye when I look at him. CHEESEBALL I KNOW. But, they always say, the longer you are married, the better it gets! He truly is my best friend. I am so proud of who He is in the Lord and what He has and is doing in Peter's heart and our marriage. Afterall, if we tried to do it by ourselves, well, that's neither here nor there. I won't get cheesy for the blog world, but I truely Love this man.
Thank you Lord for letting me do life alongside of Peter Eugene Abrigg.

Happy First Anniversary Peter!

Well, tomorrow we celebrate our 1st year of marriage?! What? I can hardly believe it!!
All I know is I'm supposed to pack a bag. He's going something planned for us.
Little stinker! New York was supposed to be our gift to each other. Apparently, that's not how he roles! :)
Either way, I'm excited.

I'll do a recap of our weekend on Monday and give a special tribute to our marriage.
Until then, we've got some celebrating Jesus to do for our first year of marriage!!

If you stumble upon my blog over the weekend, see previous post. :)

I love you Peter Eugene Abrigg.

House Progress

Here is the progress from last week. It's alot!!!!

2 posts in 1 day!

I'm about to post twice. I have lots of events to share, but it might take me a while. My fingers are freezing. I got to work this morning and it was 57 degrees in the office. So, needless to say, it hasn't warmed up to much in an hour.

We had an EXTREMELY busy weekend. To be honest, it was really a weekend at all. We apparently tried to pack as many things as possible in....

Friday night we celebrated Thomas's birthday at a place called Dovie's in Addison. PLEASE NEVER GO HERE. That's a lie, you probably could go and have a better dining experience. Needless to say, the party of 17 I was with got ALL of our food for free and free wine. I felt so bad for the manager in charge. She cried! We told her it wasn't her fault!
As soon as we got home we hit the hay.

Saturday morning I forced myself to stay in bed until 10 even thoug Peter was up at 7. As soon as I got up it was WORK, WORK, WORK. Natasha and I aggressively prepared for Rachel and Craig's shower at the house ALL day while the guys tended to the front lawn and bushes and hung Christmas tree lights. Here are pics to document the occasion.








Don't worry, there are 4 stockings. One for me, Peter, Thomas and Natasha. :)
We had a good time, but I was D-E-A-D tired when it was all said and done.

Sunday morning Peter and I woke up around 6ish to head downtown for the White Rock Half Marathon. Peter did a rockin job!!!
He finished in 1 hour and 47 minutes and 55 seconds. WITHOUT REALLY TRAINING!!!!!
Sarah made shirts for us. BUT, becuase it was SO STINKING COLD, we didn't get to show them off very much. Let's just say I WAS NOT prepared for the cold.
We met them at the 6 mile mark and then again at the end. But, I'm retarded and left my camera in the car on teh 6 mile mark.
Here's some pics.

After the race, Peter and I picked up some soup from Corner Bakery and headed back to the house to warm up and take a nap. I woke up that morning before the race, and still, this morning it was there. I realized that I was dehydrated! I must have forgotten to drink ANY water in the last 3 or 4 days. I'm not sure HOW that happened.
Anyways, after our nap Peter headed to a Christmas party at church without me and I headed to my sister's Young Life "Coffee Talk" Christmas party to lead worship with Jourdan and 2 of my sister's high school girls. We had a great time!! I didn't take any pictures. Maybe my sister will send me some. :)
Anyways, after a packed weekend, we were in bed at 8:45pm last night. It was glorious.

I'm not correcting my spelling mistakes because I'm too tired.
The end.
