Santa Claus is Coming to Town

I cannot believe that Christmas is in THREE days! Where did the time go? It doesn't feel as Christmas-y this year since it really hasn't been that cold outside. Sometimes I wish the weather here in Texas was the same as Colorado (but only for the month of December).

Thank goodness I have completed all of my Christmas shopping and I am so eager for Clint, my family and his family to open their gifts! I get so excited watching people open up gifts especially if they are from me :)

The presents I got Clint this year are so great because I KNOW he will love each one and he has no idea what I have been up to ;) I am a sneaky elf!

I think the best part about the Christmas season for me is getting to be at home with my family and hang out with them everyday. They are perfect company...we are always laughing and having so much fun together. I am so blessed. Our house is decorated so beautifully for Christmas I just like to lay on the couch and stare at the Christmas tree. My parents decided to make a "Longhorn Tree" this year complete with only burnt orange and white ornaments and a couple Texas Longhorn ornaments thrown in there. They are die hard Longhorn fans (obviously). Here is a picture of our Bevo-ed tree...

Here a couple more pictures of our house right now:

My mom got Clint a stocking this year, so he is officially a part of our family:) His is next to mine (the zebra/leopard one).

Look how sweet Belle is? She has been playing non-stop with my brother's dog/her bff Cali.

This is Belle's partner in crime, Cali:

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Engagement Photo Shoot

After 10 months of being engaged Clint and I are finally getting our engagement photos taken! I am soooo excited for many reasons but mainly because the photographer is none other than my bff Nina! Nina blogs too so make sure you check out her blog!

The photos we take tomorrow are super important because we are using them mainly for our Save the Dates as well as framing them and putting one on each table at our reception :)

I talked to Nina a little earlier and she invisions it as a Mary Poppins meets 1930's glamour feel. It's funny because I feel like I know exactly what she is talking about and it fits me perfectly.

These pictures are my inspiration to get in photo-shoot ready mode tomorrow:) I am thinking cool umbrellas and Clint in a suit!

Oh, one minor setback is there is a chance of rain for tomorrow:( Please pray that it doesn't happen because it has been SO hard to plan this because Clint and Travis (Nina's husband) work all the time so tomorrow worked out perfectly. I really hope it doesn't rain so I can get this part of my pre-wedding activities checked off my list!

Love ya'll!

Footloose Movie Review

I know that this movie came out a little bit ago but Clint and I just saw it and loved it!

I am a person who LOVES music, I always have Pandora playing and my stations range from Brad Paisley to Frank Sinatra. (I also have a Christmas station that I play year round).

A couple nights before we went to see the new Footloose I found out that Clint had never seen the original one starring Kevin Bacon. Since I am a lover of all classic 1980's movies I told him I owned it and we watched it.

Even though the movie is a tad corny I think it's great. The only thing about the original I don't like is Ariel. For some reason she gets on my nerves!

Honestly, going into the new movie I did not have that high of expectations since remakes usually are never better than the original.

The 2011 Footloose stars Kenny Wormald as Ren and Julianne Hough as Ariel. Something that the 2011 version did differently was cast two professional dancers as the leads. I think this really paid off for them because their dancing was amazing!

Also, they looked super cute together in every scene :)

Also, Julianne Hough did a great job as Ariel. For one, she did not get on my nerves and I actually really loved her. Secondly, I was pretty impressed with her acting ability. She hasn't been in that many movies and she had some difficult scenes that I thought she did flawlessly.

One character who stole the show in the old and new Footloose was definitley Willard!

Miles Teller plays Willard in this movie and he was so funny. Even Clint laughed at almost all of his scenes. If anything, he is 70% the reason you should go see it.

Another thing I loved about this movie was the incorporation of classic scenes from the old Footloose. First, being Ren's classic yellow beetle.

Another was the dance scene with Ren in the warehouse. It was a toss up between who did it better, Kevin or Kenny. I still don't really know because they both some really unique choreography.

The best part of the movie was definitley the last scene with all the kids at their dance. The music is awesome and of course so is the dancing. I literally was dancing in my seat!

So put on your Sunday shoes and go see it! :)
