So this is my very first blogging attempt ever! I'm always way behind the times. But, I'm pretty excited. Even though it is already the end of January, I'll fill you guys in on Christmas, etc.
CHRISTMAS with the SAMPLEYS
We got to go home to Atlanta to visit my folks for Christmas. It felt really good to be home for a while. We spent alot of time with my parents, sister, brother-in-law, & of course my sweet neice Caroline & precious nephew Will. We baked Christmas cookies, played nertz, played battle of the sexes (a hilarious game to play with the men in our family), dad even busted out the karaoke machine. I also loved holding my nephew Will. For those of you who don't know this about me, I'm not the type to long to hold a baby, normally when people say, "want to hold her/him" (whoever it may be), I make up some excuse because I don't really know what to do with a baby, they seem so fragile & I salute all the moms out there because you are incredible. Hence, that is why we don't have kids yet...but I actually did start to get that feeling, "hey, I kinda like this, I might want one of these," when holding my nephew. It was a great feeling, but don't get your hopes up yet mom..haha

Jules, i am so proud and so happy so I can see pics and keep up. I am sorry I have not called. Every time I think of it its 6:46 am your time! :) But I love being in touch with you. I never knew you had a baby phobia thing...how did I NOT know that about you??? But I am glad you got the bug a little bit. Your family looks great...and the little ones are adorable!
MISS AND LOVE YOU!!!
(the same guys asked to be my friend on face book...I had to check with my siblings to see who the heck he was! Still dont know really... HA!)

Hey Julie!
Man this makes me remeber how much I miss you! I can't wait to show Caroline. She will think she is famous. I love you and miss you.

YEA!!! Welcome, welsome my friend. I look forward to your posts! I want to apoligize up front, I don't really keep mine up that well. I need to though and have post swirling around in my head so I just need to do it. Anyway, looks like you had so much fun at Christmas!
Yay!! I'm so glad you started this and hopefully it will help us keep in touch better! You look great! Oh, and I also was surprised to read about your baby phobia. I would have never guessed it! Too funny. I sure miss you!!
I am thrilled to be able to see pictures of you and hear what is going on in your life. It makes you feel not so far away. Funny, I somehow do remember you having the baby phobia but not quite sure why I remember that...guess it just shows whose better friends with who...just kidding. Maybe it relates to you not tearing up as quickly as us at the sappy commercials and good-byes. :) Love you, jules! hope that one day I can come visit you.
