2013 Oklahoma ice storm

When we got back from beautiful Florida, we discovered Oklahoma was covered in a sheet of ice. It was unbelievably cold and the ice was destructive — but the ice also sparkled like glitter and was just so beautiful. It was hard to not enjoy it at least a little.

Our ice-covered trees, complete with fallen limbs.

Miami 2013

After our trip at Disney World we headed down to Miami to spend more time with Nathaniel's side of the family. It's been a while since we've been to Miami and we had a blast catching up with family and old friends. We are really grateful for our loved ones there and feel like we are leaving a bit of our hearts in Florida every time we come back to Oklahoma.

While in Miami we talked our heads off and ate more food than was even remotely reasonable. We slept in, went to the mall, walked around Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and generally just enjoyed ourselves.

At Vizcaya. So beautiful and peaceful.

Disney World 2013

We headed to Florida the week before Christmas to enjoy some time at Disney World with our families. And when I mean family I mean like Nathaniel's third cousin and their best friends, totaling up to 20 people at some points. It was loud, crazy and totally awesome. Sadly, we did not get a group photo. But at least we have the memories!

My parents with Pooh and Tigger, and me and Nathaniel with Pooh and Tigger. Once we noticed both Nathaniel and Tigger were "wearing stripes" there were a lot more shenanigans going on than just smiling and posing!

December N-town

The December N-town cover was all about what makes Norman a remarkable arts community. It was really fun for me to reflect on how much the community supports the arts, as well as look forward to what 2014 will have to offer as far as our arts and entertainment scene goes! Lots of amazing things set to happen in Norman, Okla. Check out the story and edition here.

Always,

Jewelry photo shoot

Thanksgiving in Lubbock

We had the chance to head to Lubbock, Texas, to spend time with our families for Thanksgiving. We spent a lot of time eating food — of course — shopping and watching movies. Love the chance to spend time with family!
