Here we come a-wassailing!

Lawry LURVES wassail. Wah-sul or wah-say-el? I'm pretty sure it's the first one.  So as part of his Christmas present, I made him tradish wassail minus the eggs that are supposed to in it.  Ack. Anyway, for those of you that adoré mulled wine, the wassail was fabbity fab!  If you don't like the spices in mulled wine, maybe not so much for you, but this wassail was a bit clove heavy.  Next year, one clove less. We then watched It's a Wonderful Life, one of Lawry's favorite Christmas movies!

We equally enjoyed the Belle mug.

Love and joy come to you, and to your wassail, too!  May God bless you and send you a happy new year! May God bless you and send you love!
Happy Christmas, Cherry Holidays, and Merry New Year mes bloggies,
MJ (and Lawry) 

Just Former Students

Lawry and I went to an Aggie basketball game with my dear friend Anne.  It was just like times of yore especially the Layne's chicken fingers and special sauce before the game (there goes the fried food again... probably not going to fit into the wed dress after this holiday).
Thanks and Gig 'em,
MJ (Lawry and Anne, too)

If we wait, we can have FRIED PIE!

Lawry and I made a trip down to CS to spend the week before Christmas in this studentless and unseasonably warm town.  We got tres hungry on the way down (okay, I was hungry, Lawry was holding off), so we were going to stop at Arby's, because that is how much I lurve him and how le giving I am. But then we saw a billboard for this!

THE ORIGINAL FRIED PIE SHOP in Buffalo, TEXAS! The crusty flakyness is pure Oklahoman goodness, though.  Lawry got a chicken and broccoli, I got the brisket and then we ordered a sweet potato for dessert later.

Needing a workout,

Not the 100th One!

I wanted to do something a little special for the bloggies on the 100th, but then it took a while for me to get what I wanted to get, so I went ahead and 100th-blogged a little while ago.  However, let's all pretend that all of that business isn't true and that this is the 100th blog! Yippee!! Hooray! Fireworks, streamers and cake!

So, here it is.  Long awaited for, anxiously expecting...

THE ENGAGEMENT PICTURES! (And if you're thinking, "there's probably a ton of these," you're right! There are! You won't be bored, I promise.  Lawry's red hair will keep your interest; it's even red in the black and white pictures)

Another round of cheers! Hullabaloo! Three roundhouse kicks! Do-si-do and promenade your partner!

 This one looks like Christmas, expect this on your cards next year :)

 We are a good height difference for this

 Waffling is best.

 Kissy picture. Judge me. I don't care, it's hot.

 This is me already being a supportive wife.  Lucky man, Lawry.

 I feel like these two don't look like Indiana, not quite sure why

Wasting time looking through these for the 37th time,
MJ

PS - Our photog for these, Lisa Berry, was wonderful; there are a couple more on her blog.  I wish I were friends with her; I think we'd get along.  I think Lawry and I will be sending all of our vendors brief thank-you cards, they really have been a delight to work with.
