5 Years

As of today, I've been with this guy for exactly five years. I could go on and on about how wonderful he is, but I don't want to make everybody jealous! Seriously though, he's great!

Here we are Saturday night getting ready

for my ten year reunion.

My New Last Name

Thursday afternoon I went to Marrianne's Punky-Doodle party with the intention of ordering an address stamp like the one above. I know what our address will be when we move into our house, but I had not considered one small detail. I am a math teacher, so that's my excuse for not knowing the answer to this question. My maiden name is also Clark, so that's another reason why I never really paid much attention to this rule in English class. Anyway, the nice sales lady, Lucy, was writing down all of the info needed for the stamp. At the very top of the stamp, it was to say the plural of our last name. That's when it hit me that I didn't know how to pluralize Morris. No one else at the party did either. A few ladies thought it was The Morris', but that didn't look right or sound right to me. I just went with "The Morris Family" to be on the safe side. I came home and tried to find the answer on-line. According to one grammar web-site, it would have es added to the end. The example on the site read, We are going to visit the Joneses. So will Dave and I be The Morrises?? Help me out!! Does anyone know the correct way to write this? I'm sure Dave's step-sister Wendy, the English teacher, can tell me!!

Okay, I just did a spellcheck. Morrises was highlighted and Morris's was the suggested spelling. That does look better......Is that the proper spelling????

Tailgate Couples Shower

Dave and I have the best friends! JW & Marrianne, Alan & Lesa, and Michael & Wendy gave us an Auburn Tailgate Shower Saturday night. Marrianne's father, Buddy, has a 1950's style diner where the shower was held. Everyone had a great time eating yummy food and watching the exciting game! Since AU played earlier that day, we watched the Alabama/Georgia game. It was fun, and Dave and I are now set to entertain next football season!

The gifts were AMAZING!

We were so excited to get this stainless steel trash can

from Dave's grandparents!

Ms. Amy gave us some awesome cookware.

We had to open it up to admire it, and of course

couldn't figure out how to get it all back in the box!

THANK YOU Everyone and

WAR EAGLE!!

Happy 26th Birthday Brother!!

I love you and miss you brother! I don't have ANY recent photos of you, and I don't like that. I had to "steal" some from your Facebook account. I hope that's okay! See you and Aly in about 50 more days!!!!!!!!!!!

My middle brother, John (aka 4), is only 23 months younger than me. He still lives in Nebraska for now, but we're hoping he may be able to move to the east coast in the near future. This week he's on a business trip to Wisconsin. He called me Friday afternoon and was practicing his best Wisconsin accent on me. It was enough to make me nauseous!

Have a Happy Birthday Brother! Be sure to bring Justin a Cheese-head Hat back!!

LOVE YOU!!

The Office is Back!!

We don't get to watch too much television these days, but we both love The Office. We're so excited about the new season that starts TONIGHT!!! Here's to no writers strike this year!

Fireproof

Dylon stayed with us all by himself last night, but got an ear infection and didn't feel to great. As a result, we didn't make it to church today. While Dave was watching Frazier UMC on tv he saw this preview, and shared it with me. I LOVE Kirk Cameron. Our church youth group went to a conference and heard his testimony once, and that just made me love him even more. I think he's great in the Left Behind movies, and I can't wait to see this one. It looks like the perfect movie for two people about to get married, or any couple for that matter. I found out on the official website that it's playing in Montgomery, Dothan, and Destin this weekend. I'm thinking a Sunday afternoon trip to Destin would be great wouldn't it Dave? You must watch the preview, but be sure to pause my music player at the bottom of the screen so you can hear it!

I Should Be Grading Papers Instead of This.....

Lately, I've enjoyed wasting a lot of time on The Knot looking for wedding ideas. I've found some really cute stuff!! I'm meeting with Amy soon to discuss poses, and I think this one is a must!
