A quick little update with just a few pictures from Saturday evening.

We had a wonderful time and were greeted as we walked through the doors with a glass of champagne, what a great way to start. Yes Please! The entire law school was crowded with people of every age dressed to the nine's. There were orchids EVERYWHERE followed by candles, harpists and violinists. They waited on us hand and foot asking if we'd like more of this or a taste of their specialty food. I was able to catch up with a few friends and am very happy for my lovely friend, Allison. Girl you know what I'm talking about ;)

Overall the night was a hit and everyone seemed to have a blast.

Unfortunately I still cannot find my camera so I can only provide you with a few random shots from our friend Mogy.

At the end of the night both of our feet were killing us. I broke in 6 inch high heeled pumps which I'm now realizing may have been a mistake. None the less we dined on some of the best restaurant food Memphis has to offer, not to mention all of the wine, champagne, and liquor you could consume. I ran, well actually a lady ran into me, that night who may have gone too far with her drinking. It was a moment that I won't forget helping me to keep in mind how I never want to look; drunk and classless.

Was that mean? I'm sorry.

Adam told me that this was the first of many gala's we'll be attending....to be honest, I can't wait!

We ended the night pretty early by reading our books and munching on mcdonald's fries.

{So much for resolutions!}

Happy Weekend

Happy Weekend, One and all!
Lots of things have gone on this past week leaving me every night wishing I had made a post to update. But alas I was lazy and one night fell into bed around 8:30.
Now that it is January the cold has hit hard on us southerners as well as across the states. Thursday we had our first snow here in Memphis and also as married couple. I had hoped with all of my heart that it would mean work was cancelled and we could stay inside all day reading and watching movies, though it didn't and off we went at 7:30 am in the blistering cold. No really, blistering...it was around10 degrees. A long long story short, after Adam dropped me at work on his way home ran over ice and drove into an embankment. By the grace of God's hand he, nor the car, was hurt badly and had the ability to back out {with steering shot} and make it to an auto shop.
The two front axels were broken and a slight oil leak we had previously turned into gushing with a messed up tire rim to boot. The men at the auto place were wonderful having our car pretty much fixed within a couple of hours. In order to get a new tire rim at an affordable price we had to drive to Arkansas to pick one up and have them replace it. Don't worry, Arkansas is relatively 15 minutes away although with our tire being as it was it took more like an hour and a half rather than 30 minutes for a round trip. In the end we are beyond blessed to have a perfectly working vehicle.
In other news, the Davis's will be attending a gala next Saturday evening. The new law school building opened up on Wednesday which we toured that will be holding the black tie event. I'll have a separate update later but I must insert that I've already found my dress! Now all we have left are my shoes, jewelery and Adam's tux. These are big girl things it feels like. Only big girls go to galas....I'm not a big girl, am I?
Alright I'm off to start the day, a shower in most definitely in order.
Have a lovely weekend and keep warm!
