A December to Remember

We are having a blast so far this month!!!!  Here are some cameraphone highlights.:

Lounging around…..

Books are fun!!  This sign was in the elevator at work and brought back wonderful childhood memories.  Books ARE fun!!!!

Yes, Kourtney FINALLY made it to Alabama!!!  We had THE BEST weekend.  Well, to clarify, Kourtney and I had the best weekend.  Just kidding!  Brent had fun, too.  (He had to know that he didn’t stand a chance.)

Friday night we took Kourk to Mugshots, one of our favorite restaurants in Tuscaloosa.  We had huge, healthy salads, burgers, fries, Chuck’s boneless Buffalo wings & fried pickles.  We literally waddled out of the restaurant, to Blockbuster, then Zumba class at Northridge Fitness Chick-Fil-A where we had some dessert. Then we came home and watched Extract, Saturday night live, and whatever else we could find.

Saturday, me & Kourtney went to the Deeper Still women’s conference in Birmingham.  Speakers were Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, and Kay Arthur.  The speakers were fantastic, as well as the company, obviously – the only major downside was the crowd – about 14,000 people, I believe.  But now that I think about it, 14,00 women attending a Bible study is actually a really good thing.  Unfortunately, the people we sat near cramped Kourtney’s style just a little bit.  There may have been some loud huffing, a bit of eye-rolling, and even one “shhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”  Overall, I think they got off easy.

The event was held at the BJCC (in Birmingham).

(Brent let Kourtney borrow some black socks. Thanks, Brent!!!!  )

 After the conference, we came back to Tuscaloosa (there may or may not have been a quick stop at a Taco Bell truck stop on the way back for a warm, gooey piece of Heaven – aka a 5-layer burrito), ran 5 miles in my neighborhood, ate sushi at Kobe, then came home, made Christmas cookies and watched about 3/4 of Sherlock Holmes before doing some ab exercises passing out.  Sunday morning we got up super early & went jogging. There was more TV, more cookies, and just maybe another stop at Taco Bell before Kourtney hightailed it back to Chattanooga & Brent breathed a sigh of relief.  JUST KIDDING!

So, basically, Kourtney’s visit was a weekend-long binge with a couple of breaks for Bible study, movies, and sleeping.

Milly was exhausted after Aint Kourt went home!!!
