Holiday movies

I love holiday movies. I wait all year to watch them and within the span of 4 1/2 weeks leading to Christmas I cram them all in. My absolute favorite holiday movie is A White Christmas. Stephen took me on a surprise date a couple years back to the gorgeous Alabama Theatre in Birmingham to watch this movie. It was one of the best dates ever - beautifully restored theatre, a song and dance movie and my special man - can you say swoon?!

 

This week I'm going to head over to the Alabama to watch Elf and It's a Wonderful Life. Have to get those two in before it's to late!

Merry Christmas!

Wedding weekend for my friend!!

Today and tomorrow are going to be special because one my dear friend is getting married! My precious Kristina is a bride to be!

Kris and I go way back. Our history together started off in elementary school in Mobile where our love for beanie babies (who doesn't love these little guys) and other such cuteness sprang. We went to separate middle and high schools but became good friends again late high school at youth group. We ended up both going to Auburn University (Can I get a war eagle?!!!) where we roomed together for 3 years.

And both our jobs led us Birmingham, to roommates again right before I got married, to our engaged and married small group.

What a blessing this chick has been in my life. She has always been a constant, a loving friend, an encourager, someone who makes you have a good ole belly laugh, the BEST story teller ever, and a beautiful example of a Godly woman!
