Weekend Getaway

Mitchell and I had a great getaway to the Farm with Toby & Bug! We spent the weekend relaxing, sleeping, cooking, and fishing :). I caught my first fish!! (I'm 30-haha!) We had lots of fun. The dogs really enjoyed exploring the new scenery (they slept the whole day on Sunday). I'm a lucky lady to have such a great husband! It's important to make the time to spend together - even in a crazy schedule of Vet School :).

Burt's Pumpkin Patch 2011

We had a wonderful trip on our Annual Family Outing to the Infamous Burt's Pumpkin Patch :). We all met for a yummy Chick-Fil-A breakfast and then ventured on to purchase our pumpkins & treats at Burts! We enjoyed a hay ride, boiled peanuts, and the chilly weather. Too bad Sharon, Dee, and Granddaddy couldn't make - we missed them!

Mitchell and I are so lucky to have such great family!!

And, we love our house :) haha. Thank Goodness since we've spent a lot of time and effort on it over the years! Enjoy the pics.

Mitchell's 29th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mitchell! :)

We had Wonderful Weekend celebrating Mitchell's 29th Birthday. He isn't quite a member of the 'Dirty Thirty' club, but he's almost there! We spent the weekend in the Mountains at his grandparents vaca home. We enjoyed an afternoon of relaxing, playing scrabble, walking, eating great food, and watching the UGA football game. Today, we enjoyed an afternoon on the lake celebrating the big day.

We are so lucky to have wonderful family and friends! :)

Love ya Mitchell. Happy Birthday!
Katie

Playing Catch Up

We haven't updated the blog in quite some time! So, I'm not going to back track to get us up to speed, but I will say that we had a wonderful summer together! :) We enjoyed a River Trip to Florida with Mitchell's Dad and Melissa and sister and family. Then we headed North to Indiana to celebrate my 30th birthday with my siblings Andy, Amy, and Kyle. The Quads were together for our first time in awhile for the big birthday celebration :). Mitchell and I then took our first vacation by ourselves since our honeymoon 4.5 years ago! We rented a house on the gulf and just soaked up the sun, scalloped, and boated. It was wonderful! Can't wait to go again next year. I worked at Sugar Hill Animal Hospital - loving every minute of it. I got to see a lot and learn a lot. I also got to enjoy laying out on my days off :). Mitchell is still working at Brand Bank, fishing, and being the wonderful husband that he is!
I started back to school, 2nd year of vet school! Things are going A-ok! I miss my free time and I miss being with Mitchell, but I will say that I am one lucky lady! My husband is wonderful! He's so supportive, cooks for me, cleans for me, etc. And, listens to me during my 'crazy' moments.
We are growing in our relationship with God every day. God has really been speaking to us to be better witnesses to others...I am so thankful that we have listened. I'm so thankful for the many doors that have opened for us, the new friends that we have met, and the many surprises yet to come.
This year, we have lots to look forward to! Me finishing 2nd year and hence getting half way to the finish line in vet school :). My brother Andy getting married in October. Us watching our nieces & nephews grow to be such beautiful girls and boys. We welcoming Sarah and John's second child in January! A few of our good friends welcoming their first babies :) And, us possibly finishing the downstairs.
Most importantly, loving each other and loving life together. Along with Toby & Bug :)

God Bless,
Mitchell & Katie

A wonderful weekend!

We had another wonderful weekend :). Friday night, Mitchell and I enjoyed an evening in Athens for a Scholarship Dinner at the Vet School. We appreciate every penny we can get! :) Then Saturday we enjoyed a day with Savannah, CJ, and Dee and Granddaddy at the Country Club. We took Savannah fishing and then spent an evening under the cabanna enjoying a delicious dinner just Dee, Granddaddy, Mitchell, and I! Today, I walked 11 miles this morning in the park since I have a cracked rib (painful) and can't run, then church, and we helped with the special needs children's lunch afterwards. Definitely a learning experience! We enjoyed it! And we enjoyed seeing our Life Group! :) This week is my last full week of classes (Thank Goodness) & that's about it! A final exam on Thursday! Hope you have a great week! ~ Mitchell & Katie

Easter

Happy Easter!! :) We enjoyed a beautiful day with Granddaddy, Dee, CJ and Savannah, Bill, Sharon, and Wes and Will. We went a lovely church service. Enjoyed delicious food and beautiful weather! I missed my parents and siblings today - VERY MUCH!! But, I am lucky to have a wonderful family here as well :). Have a great week!

It's been awhile!!

It's been a long time since I've written! :) I honestly can't try to even catch up on everything that has happened with Mitchell and I over the last couple months. I got to spend a fabulous few days with my family in Indiana! I spent time with my handsome new nephew Nolan, little Miles, and beautiful Reagan, and happy Emerson! It was wonderful. It's amazing how little babies/toddlers have their own personalities and characteristics. It was wonderful seeing my brothers and sisters and my parents! Gosh, I miss them! We are so excited because Mitchell and I are going to celebrate our (the Quads) 30th bday with everyone! How fun is that?! I think it's been too long since we've been together on our actual birthday! I'm almost done with my first year of vet school-Yay!!! It's been a wonderful experience!! Mitchell is the best husband ever!! We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend, vaation together, and time on the boat. :) I couldn't be happier!! God is great - truly Great!! :)

Nolan Dane Arrived!

My little nephew Nolan arrived! He is healthy and handsome! Miles is a big brother now:) Congrats Amy & Travis! Can't wait to hold him!

The Holidays

Mitchell and I had a great holiday season :)! I had such a wonderful time visiting with my family for an entire 5 days! It was so fun! I saw Reagan for my first time. What a beautiful little girl! I got to spend the night with Sarah & John and wake up to some delicious homemade breakfast :). Then, I was off for the day to hang with my nephew Emerson! What a cutie. Emerson is the most happy baby I've ever seen. It was fun! Then, I got to see my little (but really bigger and bigger every day) Miles! We made a ginger bread house together...Ok, well actually it was Amy, my mom, and i making the house but it's ok! :) Miles had better things to do! I spent the night with my parents a few nights, spent the night at Amy and Travis's, spent time with my grandma, and visited some old friends. Oh! And, I can't forget to mention that I went to Jamie's Soda Fountain! (had to give it a little shout out). So, my trip to Indiana was fantastic minus the fact that Mitchell wasn't with me! However, I flew back on our 4 year anniversary and he surprised me with a rose and the fabulous idea of taking the entire day off of work to spend with me! We traveled to Thomasville to get our new living room chair, did some antique shopping, and ordered pizza for dinner because we were exhausted! (I'm a pretty cheap anniversary date-haha). Mitchell and I made an amazing Venison Tenderloin for christmas eve dinner, attending christmas eve service, and woke up in our own home for the first time ever! It was wonderful! We are usually always on the GO, but this year we stayed close to home. Christmas day, we spent Mitchell's family. We had a fabulous brunch at Sharon and Bill's house and then off to Granddaddy's house for a delicious dinner! It was a great holiday! We hope you all had a great Christmas!
