Chick-fil-a

Those of you who know me well know that my favorite place to eat is Chick-fil-a! I have loved it since it came to Park Plaza mall when I was a kid. I have never eaten at another place in the mall and I am being serious. All the other places look great but I can't say no to Chick! So not only is the food delightful, the service is amazing. I have never gotten the wrong order and every time I go through the drive thru they are so wonderful...this is what I heard today..."it's my pleasure and Allison will meet you at the window with your order" just put a smile on my face. I think it is that southern charm that I love so much. I also love that if I want an extra sauce they don't charge me they just say sure my pleasure. I give them an 2 thumbs up!!! 1 for service and 1 for excellent food!!!

Did I really just blog about this...yep I guess I did.

Hysterosalpingogram...good times

I am going in sometime next week to have a hysterosalpingogram (hiss-sto-sal-p-no-gram). I am not very excited as I have heard this is not a very fun experience. Dr. Wyatt my doctor says that it is necessary to see if there is any blockage that could be causing Kevin and I some trouble with getting preggers. I am not trying to air all my business on my blog but at the same time I very nervous. I don't do doctors well and hospitals make me turn green the minute my feet hit the parking lot. So, I am asking for prayers mainly. I am going to be specific in my prayers:

1. That they let my mom come in the room with me (i have heard they don't)
2. I will not be anxious and can just relax
3. that the pain will somehow someway just be slight at the worst (i have heard women would rather push out a baby than have this done)
4. that I won't pass out
5. that everything will turn out ok
6. oh one more that I won't let the fact that several people, who don't know me, are getting to know more of me than i would like, bother me too bad! HAHA!

I will cast all my cares upon You....

Isn't it the best feeling to know that when are going through something that we don't have to do it alone? No matter how alone we feel or how burdened we might feel God is there. He promises us this...it just makes me feel good inside knowing that He knows my heart and my thoughts even better than I do and when I cry he cries with me. I found 2 verses today that I know He wanted me to see

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16:22

And if you haven't listened to Kari Jobe lately you are missing out...get on your ipod and turn it on now. Her songs are so uplifting!

New Years Eve 2010!

We had so much fun this New Years Eve! We didn't want to go and and spend a bunch of money so we just had a few couples over! We played the game Left, Right, Center! It is so much fun and you get to win money. Kevin and I didn't win, but it was still lots of fun. Tomorrow school starts back and I would like to say that I am super excited, but that is really not the case. I am ready to get back to the kids, but not ready to get up early and stay late to tutor. Right now I am watching Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea (a personal favorite). I love how they talk in the movie and I wish that I could talk like them and not sound silly. I think if I started calling my friends Bosom Friends people might think I am crazy. I think I will start using better adjectives because the way she describes things makes them sound wonderful or should I say simply delightful!

Christmas has come and gone....

Me and my parents of Christmas morning! Kevin with his Granny and Mom

My parents (aren't they cute) Kevin and Mama A My Mama A and Granddaddy I got a new camera for Christmas so hopefully this will help with my blogging. I can't wait to take some cute pictures of my kids at school. I thought I would share some pic of us this Christmas season.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

I know all my followers have been wondering where I have been!! (all 3 of you) I have just been in a blogging rut and I am hoping to get out of it soon. Kevin and I celebrated 1 year of marriage on November 15th! We took a delayed anniversary trip to Branson this past weekend with some friends. It was so much fun. I love going to shows and shopping. I got a lot of Christmas shopping done. We put up our tree the day after Thanksgiving! This is our new tradition at the Strom house. I am so proud of all my ornaments....I didn't have very many, so my mom took me to Hob Lob to get some. Kev and I give each other one every year. I also have a few homemade ones from friends that I cherish.

I love this time of year and I always try to make it go as slow as possible. I hope that it will go slow this year. At school we have been making some pretty cute Christmas crafts. I told the kids that I make daily reports to Santa, so hopefully they will have some good behavior! We will see!!!
