She's Getting Married!

Meredith is engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have been wanting to say those words for YEARS, and specifically for the past month. About 4 weeks ago, Ryan, Meredith's boyfriend called me to let me know that he was proposing to Meredith. I have been DYING to tell people. So last night, after 5 years of waiting, Meredith finally got engaged.


Meredith was the first person I met at Baylor, and we spent four FUN and EXCITING years together at college. We have an endless amount of memories, and I am beyond excited that she found Ryan. Even though we are states and states away, she continues to be one of my closest friends. Congratulations Meredith and Ryan!

I Love This Time of Year

I do. I absolutely love this time of year. Every weekend is packed with fun Holiday things, the decorations start to come up, and (for the most part) everyone is HAPPY! Will and I already have most of our Christmas decorations up. If it were up to me, we would be one of those that leave them up for all year round- the lights and the music make me happy. I am a dork I know, but I love this time of year!

Last weekend was spent with Will’s parents. It had been a while since they had been to Georgia, so it was fun to show them the things that had changed since they had been here at this time last year. We have done a lot to the house since then, and they also got to meet their granddog, Miss Bear. (I think) they loved her. She definitely loved them. While Bill and Jan were here, we also got to take them to our new favorite place, which I have mentioned here many times- Blue Ridge . We spent the day up there shopping and walking around the cute town. We made it back just in time for the LSU game… and Thank God they won because I was with BOTH of the Hunter men, and for those of you that know the Hunters well, it is never fun to be around then when LSU loses. Sunday was spent showing off our church and then shopping in Atlanta. Bill and Jan surprised us with tickets to the Transiberian Orchestra, which I was so beyond excited about! The concert was amazing, and we are definitely making it part of our Christmas tradition from now on. Thank you Mom and Dad Hunter for a fun weekend! No cameras allowed in the concert, but are a few pictures from the weekend…

Will and Bill. They matched. It was so cute. This is before the concert.

Our Christmas Card!

Beebs and I. This is at the front of our subdivision.

This weekend is NOTHING. I love nothing weekends, but somehow they always seem to turn into SOMETHING weekends. Saturday will probably be spent out with some friends- we have been beyond blessed to find some really awesome friends here in Georgia.

ALSO, there is another FUN and very SECRET thing happening this weekend that I sooooo want to talk about but I can’t. Hopefully by the next time I write, I can TELL EVERYONE! I have been sworn to secrecy and am busting at the seems to open my big fat mouth!

And last but certainly not least, for all of you Bear followers, her surgery went well and she is as energetic as ever. She goes to school once a week and is learning so many new cute tricks. Will has diligently tried to teach her how to “Sic ‘Em” since the night we picked her up and she can finally do it. It is so darn cute. She is beautiful and I swear we could not love her more.

To close, my friend Brittany sent me an email with this in it and it really hit home. Especially with everything going on right now and so many people struggling: "When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly!" The power of one sentence!

I'm a bad blogger!

I've decided I just might be the worst blog person ever! Finding the time to do this stuff is tough-- better late than never though, right?

Well, our trip to blueridge was A BLAST. Our cabin was beautiful and out group was so fun. We all get along so well. We didn't want the weekend to end! We spent it lounging in our sweats, watching football, laughing, and completely relaxing. The boys got to do "boy things" ALL weekend, and the girls got to... watch. The second the boys stepped out of the car and into the woods, it was all downhill for the 3 girls from there. Chopping trees down, playing poker, watching too much football, and grilling on the big bad grill. Needless to say, the boys were entertaining. Kelby, Ashton and I did get to sneak away to go into the cute little town of Blueridge for some MUCH needed girl bonding time. I just love the town of Blueridge. It might just be one of my favorite places. Nice people, cute shops, good food, and not much to do... which means plenty of time to RELAX!!! Here are some pictures from the trip:

Our cute cabin... it was beautiful!

Bear came too. This was before but I don't understand how to upload pictures in order. Sorry!
I love her to death. We had so much fun together!

Right before we left. Sad to go back to reality!


Boys being boys. This was on the first day. Again, out of order. Sorry.

The girls- Kelby, me, Ashton.. and Brody.

Last weekend, Will had to go out of town for work. Not fun, but you have to do what you have to do! I, of course, took full advantage and spent the weekend with my mom. We had so much fun. Yes, we live 30 minutes from eachother, but I really don't get to see her a lot, so weekends spent together are special to me. On Friday, she came over and we made dinner, handed out candy to the cute little trick-or-treaters, and wacthed girl movies. Saturday we went shopping, and Sunday she was a champ and helped me paint the master bathroom. Will dreads painting (poor boy), so I wanted to surprise him. It turned out adorable!!

Bear had an oopsie on Saturday night. She was very bad. We left her at my mom's (in her master bathroom) while we went shopping. We had done this before and never really had any problems. Well... not so much. Bear managed to turn the tub on, overflow the tub, swim in it, and flood the bathroom. Oh don't worry, that's not the worst of it... the water leaked through the floor and into the kitchen downstairs and part of the cieling fell through. Yes, fell through. Water ALL over, hole in the cieling. It made for a lot of cleaning up and a lot of sucking up to my dad. Poor Bear. She had no idea what she did. I think she thought she had taken a bath and had done something good. I should have taken a picture because I really could not believe it was happening. Live and learn!

And of course, last but not least, the election. I am so sad and am so scared about the next 4 years. It literally makes me sick to my stomach that over half of Americans fell for his tricks. I think Barack is rediculous. He has so many people fooled, and it is so sad. The only thing that calms me is that God is in control. Barack was meant to get elected for a reason, even though we have no idea of what it is right now. I feel so sad for McCain. It made me cry last night- just to watch him and to know that the past two years, and ... nothing. I think our country is in for a rude awakening, and it scares me to death.

The next couple of weeks are so busy for Will and I. This weekend- Bear has surgery (snip, snip!) and Mackenzie is coming home (FINALLY!). Next weekend, Mom and Dad Hunter are coming to visit! I am excited, and I haven't seen them in so long. It's always fun to have family visit. Then it's THANKSGIVING! I love this time of year. :)
