Insurance Retreat at Big Cedar Loge

Recently, we had a insurance retreat at Big Cedar Lodge in the Govenors Suite. It was a meeting with our team and Vikki's children Brooke and Taylor and their teams. They both started seperate scratch agencies (ones with no clients) in the last year. The craziest part is I had to give a small speach and I made some notes. I got the paper out of my purse and put it in my notebook. You can imagine the shock I had when I opened up the paper to find that it actually was a recipe for a chicken casserole. I had picked up the wrong paper out of my purse. Luckly, no one noticed and I had to just wing my speach. I am such a nerd sometimes.

This is the view from the deck.

Pizza

It's that time of year again for school projects. There's nothing like taking a pizza box out of the trash and making a project of Arkansas out of it. Christian worked very hard on this and I think it looks very good. I also think if you complete a project and everything is on there that you should at least get a "A". However, he only got a 88%.

News Years Resolution

Our New Year's Resolution is to get healthier. There is no smoking, Scott is giving up Beer for 6 months, I'm drinking a lot less pop and a lot more water. We are also trying to eat smaller portions of food. We eat some what healthy we just eat way to much food. And to top it all off we joined a gym. Last night was all of our first night at the gym. It is very obvious that I haven't been in a gym since junior high. I don't even know how to use a lot of the weight machines. Thankfully, none of us were sore today . The kids and I went back tonight and I think I will be sore tomorrow. Breanna read the instructions on some of the machines so we tried some new stuff. Wish us luck on being a healthier family!

Dwain & Amanda Minor

In the middle of getting ready for Christmas this year I had the opportunity to take pictures at one of the most romantic weddings I have ever been to. They had some friends from college play the piano and the flute as people were ushered in. They also had the grooms brother and xgirlfriend sing The Prayer where the male is singing in Italian and the female is in English. It was so beautiful. . .

Dwain and Amanda, I wish you the best of luck.

Christmas Eve Eve

We spent Christmas Eve Eve with Scott's family. We always have such a good time hanging out and spending time with family. Scott's mom got each family the neatest gift. We got Christmas dinner in a box. Ham, potatoes, pie fixings and then all the breakfast stuff the have left over ham and pancakes. This was one of my favorite gifts. I love to eat! Scott and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary.

Christmas Eve

I say every year that I am going to have everything done before Christmas Eve. All the presents wrapped, wrapping paper put away, all the Christmas treats made, house clean, etc... That way I can just sit back and enjoy the holidays. This Christmas Eve was no different. I had two large presents wrap. . . .Maybe next year. Breanna and I had a lot of fun earlier in the month decorating the house. Our tree was different this year and we all loved it. . .

It just would be right if you don't have one present wrapped like this. . . . Two tone wrapping paper is a must. The box was just too big for the paper I had left.

Hope Everyone has a Very Merry Christmas!
