I never know how to start these kind of blog posts. Wherein I’m all brain-drain type sharing with y’all because the ability to form complete blog posts that make sense seems to have run away. So I guess I’ll dive right on in.

1. It’s probably old news to some of y’all, but the IPhone app “WiFi Photo” is an awesome free app that allows you to access a folder of all of your photos to download over a wireless network. If you use your phone to take photos a lot you should totally get this app.

2. I think I’m going to take some advice / lessons from Katie at Marriage Confessions about blogging and family. I’ve held back on a lot of posts lately because I didn’t want to deal with the family / friend fall out in  person. Yet the blog is my way of sorting through the truths of marriage, infertility, etc so I’m enacting a “no talking” rule with people I know in real life. So if you know me in person just kinda be fair warned. The blog topics are officially off-limits for chatting about in real life / personal Facebook.

3. Valentine’s Day is coming up. I don’t think I like this as I have no clue what to get Alex. Christmas was hard enough. Do you think he’d like if I simply walked the dog for one week both morning and night as a gift?

4. This needs no words.

5. I lurv y’all. However as a special shout out to Mindee I must share the redneck photo below. Mindee – please don’t cry, but yes we are THOSE PEOPLE.

High note? They are down and put away as of last night.

6. Now that I’ve settled on item #2 up there, I probably have a LOT more blog posts that I’m going to try to space out to share with y’all. Especially about marriage. Which is convenient given the title of the blog and all.

7. A special shout out to my little bro who stands a half-foot taller than me. Happy Birthday Booger Breath! (ahh sibling love never fades.)

How was y’all’s weekend?

Wowser I cannot believe that Christmas has not only come but also gone!

It was such a very merry Christmas this year, what with the visiting of family, the multitude of pumpkin pies, and then the presents.

As I said earlier, I got my best gift earlier this year when Alex was able to find a new job, but boy oh boy did I luck out under the tree too!

I received the much reviewed FLIP video camera so now y’all can see just how much of a redneck I am if I ever get the courage to VLOG.

I also received some warm winter wear from my hubby and my brother. So with this cold snap I am feeling MIGHTY warm thanks to them!

I received some pajamas, a fun lunch box, and all sorts of other goodies that will allow me to spoil myself post-Christmas too!

However Santa :: cough My Mama and Daddy cough :: and Alex must have mis-communicated this year. That or they want me to open a bakery because under that tree was also these two shiny babies!

Talk about a Merry Christmas to me!!

Now one of these I will get to return and switch out for accessories for the other one, but I’m so torn! I feel so guilty returning a gift and Alex’s (joking) solution of putting one on one side of the stove and the other on the other side of the stove doesn’t seem to be the ideal answer. Yet.

What’s a gal to do besides count her amazing blessings?!

So what did Santa bring you this year?!?
