Young Frankenstein

Burke and I went to see Young Frankenstein at the Kennedy Center while we were in DC. It was hilarious. And there was a tap dancing scene that made me want to take lessons. Although, I think I'm pretty good already. Ask Burke. I tap danced out of the theatre, down the escalator, in the parking lot, in the car....

No matter what he says, I know that deep, deep, deeeeep down inside he loves my tap dancing.

Here we are before the show. We looked like beggars waiting for someone to ask to take our picture. Burke just had to get a picture.



So funny!

Thanks again for the fun night, Burke.

1789

Burke and I went to dinner at 1789 with his mom for Christmas. It was so nice and quite delicious. Thanks again Burke for the lovely evening.




He is so handsome!

Our dessert...we thought it looked so pretty.

The wreath was beautiful!

So beautiful we all had to get a picture in front of it (and cover it up).

We're cute.

More Family Christmas

Christmas with my Benny! I love you, Dad.

Father and son...

My granddad is the cutest thing ever! Love those suspenders!

My dad singing Blue Christmas. Not so bad in his living room but in the parking lot of Sears when there are other people watching....a bit embarrassing.

Guntersville

I grew up in a very small town in north Alabama. Here is a short tour of Guntersville. Well, these were the only pictures I could take as my dad sped through the small town. He's a very patient man.
Guntersville High School



Guntersville Lake


This is the house I grew up in. Instead of a tacky brown it was a tacky blue. We had two big trees in our yard with a rope swing but a tornado came through and took the trees with it.

A Capitol Day

A few pictures from our tour of the capitol...



A cute little tourist!

Carson's new friend.

Followed each other everywhere....

Happy Birthday, Cissy!

Today is my big sister's birthday!! Her name is Chrystie but when I was little, "Cissy" came out and it stuck. Yes, I'm 30 years old and still call my sister Cissy. But today is Cissy's birthday. I can't begin to write about all the things I love about my sister. She is the best big sister a girl could ask for. She is just the right balance between annoying and loving....which makes the perfect big sister I must say. You know, the kind of sister that can make you laugh until you wet your pants and then come back 5 minutes later only to say something so annoying you want you scream. Perfect balance. I love her so much. Always there for me. Always listens without judgement. Always full of support and encouragement. And did I mention she makes me laugh! She is such a great mother and wife and I hope that someday I can follow her example.

Cissy, I love you and hope that you have the most wonderful birthday ever! Can't wait to see you Christmas!

Sidenote: This picture was our first Christmas together as sisters. I was 4 months old and Cissy was 3.
