What the Hoods are listening to:

I HEART CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

Ok, I have had my Christmas decorations up at my house now for about a month and I've been listening to Christmas music at work for about 2 months :)

Here are a few of my favorite Christmas songs:

Of course, anything from this album,

I love Amy Grant - Mary's Song

Another favorite Christmas Album, Hanson Snowed In

ANY Elvis Christmas music: I really love Blue Christmas

Lauren's favorite, Marshmallow World

Booker T and the MG's  - Jingle Bells

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG :)

WHAM! Last Christmas

Transiberian Orchestra - Best Commercial EVER!

Feel free to add any more!

Have a great day!

My Desire...

Desire–verb (used with object) 1. to wish or long for; crave; want.

2. to express a wish to obtain; ask for; request: The mayor desires your presence at the next meeting.

Chip preached not too long ago on praying for the desire for God's will in your life.  It sounds a lot easier than it really is.  Since he said that, I have been praying that very thing.  It's hard to pray to really desire what God wants for your life vs the natural sinful desires of our hearts.  This morning on the drive to work I was praying and it hit me.  I really DO want what God has in store for me.  It's got to be something great! Whether its a blessing or a struggle, I know that I will cling to Him no matter what and that is His ultimate will for me.   I feel that His plan is slowly unveiling for my life since praying this prayer.  Try it.  It really works.

Long time, no updates.

So, Stephen finally took his part of the CPA and I can get a little computer time in... In between fantasy sports and studying for that test.. I didn't get much time in.  So, I'm sorry it's been a while :) 

Since our last update... We have sold Gypsy :( ... and replaced her with Ethel Ophelia Cecila, the Envoy.  Here she is!!

Not the best picture of her, but I'm sure we will have more soon!

Also, holidays have come and gone.. 

Halloween:

Rocky loved the pumpkin!

Stephen was a homemade Alabama Fan! (He smelled like one too!)

Rocky was a LION!

Poor Rocky had a little too much Halloween!

Thanksgiving:

Me & Pepper Ann! She is so pretty!

our christmas decorations have been up now for about 3 weeks! I love Christmas and I love decorating the Hood house :)

The wreath Molly made us!

We went to Easely Amused with some folks from Mom's work! We painted Rudolf! Mom's friend Cindy and Mrs. Shirley went with us! It was so much fun!!

Stephen didn't make it to the Egg Bowl, due to his studying.. but here is a shout out to him and THS:

Shout out to the bulldogs - feel free to do the dawg pound rock to your rebel co-workers like I did! :) WHO LET THE DAWGS OUT!

Our small group does service projects once a month and the first one we did was downtown off of Fortification Street cleaning up a neighborhood.  We got to meet some sweet families and got a chance to see how great of an impact we can have on just a few people!

Stephen and I like to go to all of the traveling broadway shows at Thalia Mara Hall and we LOVE even more to take his grandmother "Nana." We always go out to eat before and Nana loves appetizers :)

If you want to go see some of the shows, CLICK HERE for more information!

I promise to update more often from now on :)

We love y'all and God Bless!
