2011

It has been a little while since my last post, and a lot has happened to us in that time.  Jeffrey wound up in the hospital on November 4th and ended up having emergency surgery on his lower right leg, putting him out of work until the end of December.  Four weeks after his first surgery, he had to have another one.  Thankfully, he was released by his doctor and started back at work January 6th.  The Lord definitely helped us make it through this rough time and led the hearts of many to help us in our time of need.  I was also blessed with a small part time job to help out where I can.

We are now at 3 months as a happily married couple and today our little boy is all grown up!  Today, is his 10th birthday..he called me at work this morning and told me that he looks and feels older now!  : )  In the past, we have had 2-3 kids that would show up to his birthday parties, but today, we had 18 kids and 25 adults in our small house to celebrate!!  He was (well we all were) very surprised and very happy to see everyone! 

2011 has started off with some wonderful surprises and is in the makings for a very promising year.  I only have 3 semsesters left in school and I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education!  There is more to come, including some pictures, but I am very tired at this point.

1 month already!

Today, Jeffrey and I have been married for one whole month! Wow, time has flown by! As we are settling in to our new home and starting our new life together, we have started attending a wonderful, new church called Cross River. We now know what it really means to say, "we're home" when it comes to a church. In two weeks, we will be joining a new community group for married couples. I can't wait!

Tyler is having a blast in the "O2" kids community group and childrens church segment as well. He is changing everyday right before our eyes and becoming such a young man. It seems that others are noticing it as well, and are always complimenting us on his behavior. This weekend was filled with Halloween festivities, starting with the South Alabama Jaguars football game on Saturday. Tyler got to "trunk or treat" with all the Jags tailgaters and meet the players. After that, we watched them defeat Georgia State University 39-34! The Jags continue to be undefeated! Yesterday, after church, he went to the Fallapalooza with the O2 kids at Sunshine skating rink and skated his little heart out before we picked him up for another "trunk or treat" at our friends church. whew! Thank goodness Halloween is over!

Scary to say, but we are looking forward to putting up our first Christmas tree! lol, on that note, I will say goodnight. It is only November 1st, and I'm talking Christmas!!

We're married!

October 1, 2010 was a perfect day! The weather was absolutely beautiful and there was not a cloud in the sky. I said "I Do" to my best friend in front of God and our family and friends. We are so excited to start this next chapter in our lives as husband and wife. : )

We have set up a new blog, since my email address has changed. You can follow us there if you would like. I don't know how you look it up, by name or email address, but here is the info: new email address is christybjordan@gmail.com and the new blog name is The Jordan's.

Thanks...

Mrs. Jeffrey Jordan

15 days and counting....

and I will be a married woman! WOW! : )

Engagement Photos!

This morning was the perfect day to take our engagement pictures downtown at Cathedral Square! It was beautiful and only 68 degrees! My friend Jessika Kirkland took the pictures and so far from what I have seen, she did an amazing job! She took 339 pictures in an hour and a half and here are just a few. All of the good ones will be posted on Facebook by the end of next week! I took this one of my ring, and although it does not do it any justice, it is still beautiful!! The next four weeks are going to fly by, and then I will be Mrs. Jeffrey Jordan! : )

Now it is time to get ready for my pre-bridal photo shoot! With the help of one my bridesmaids, Ashley, I will spend the next few hours in my wedding dress. Hey, a girl can never have too many pictures of her taken in one day!! : )

Ceremony songs...

Ok, so I am walking down the aisle to Canon in D, but I am having trouble picking a song for my bridesmaids to walk down to.....any good ideas would be greatly appreciated.

He asked and I said Yes!!!

I AM GETTING MARRIED!! Jeffrey and I are joining our lives together as one on October 1, 2010! Who needs to plan for 6 months to a year, lol, we are doing it in ten weeks. He proposed on Thursday, July 15th and the next day, my mom and I got started planning. We went to Davids Bridal and tried on wedding dresses and found the most perfect dress. Oh I can't wait!!

We decided to have a evening wedding with about 50-75 of our closest friends and family in the beautiful, picturesque, Brookside Chapel. (www.BrooksideChapel.com) Jeffrey's old youth pastor, Jeff Brewer, is driving in from Dothan to perform our ceremony. Originally, we were talking about getting married next summer, so we had already asked Jeff to marry us and he agreed. He was very happy that we moved up the date and thank goodness, was still available! That made us both happy. Since we will not be able to make the pre-marital retreat in Dothan, he has asked us to do all the required activities online and then we will have a conference call to discuss everything we learned. Have I mentioned how excited we are?! : ) We literally can not stop smiling. Oh, how I love this man!!

Soon I will be Mrs. Jeffrey Jordan! : )
