J is for Joining the family!!!

J is for Joining the family!!

I am happy to report that my wonderful sister-n-law Lisa is now an engaged woman! That means we are gaining a great brother-n-law in Patrick. Lisa caught the bouquet at our wedding and Patrick the garter. I promise it wasn't staged. We are really excited about this new time for them. Be in prayer for Lisa and Patrick as they start the planning process and the new chapter of engagement.

In other Knight news, Adam and I are doing great. We had a covered dish dinner today after church. As we headed out the door this morning with our dishes (nicely carried in our new Arthur Court serving ware) I told Adam, " We are definitely a 'old' married couple now taking food to a covered dish meal". But I love all things married!!

I is for I wish I was still on the big ship!!

I is for I wish I was still on the big ship!!

Well we got the honeymoon picture uploaded and it has been fun to look back through our wonderful trip. It has made me wish that we were still sailing the great blue ocean, especially because our family The Knights are sailing as I type, from the port of Miami. Adam and I wish that we were with them. But we had a wonderful, wonderful trip. We cruised out of San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada Mexico. When we got back to San Diego we spent an extra day there at the San Diego Zoo. What a great trip!!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our trip.

Our balcony view room in San Diego. Yeah if you look really close you can see the air conditioner. But we didn't care we were about to get on this lovely beauty in the picture below!!

The Carnival Elation: Destination Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada Mexico. Our hotel was across the street from the ship. It was great to wake up and see the ship in port and literally walk over and board the ship.

The city of San Diego. Notice the plane landing. Adam took this picture for Jackson. He loves airplanes. We brought him a little one back.

The dining room is always our favorite experience on the ship and they took great care of us especially with my yeast allergy. One night they brought us this dessert and sang " Happy Honeymoon to you... kissy, kissy, kissy." Of course I couldn't eat the dessert but it was a lot of fun!!

This was our friend Lucy who greeted us one night when we got back to our room. One of my favorite things about cruising is having your room made up for you TWICE in one day. Yes your read right. You get your bed made in the morning and turned down at night!! And on Carnival you always get a little friend to greet you like above!!
My wonderful new in-laws had our room decorated with newlywed decor for us. You can see it in the background. I love this picture because it shows off our matching carnival t-shirts and our goofy newlywed smiles!!
This is Bill Gate's yacht that was parked by our ship in Cabo San Lucas. Adam and I never got the call to come for brunch. I am not sure he could have accommodated my yeast free diet anyway.
In San Jose, Mexico.
This was taken in the atrium of the ship.
At the San Diego Zoo with our Gorilla friend!! He's a BIG friend.
Our last night in San Diego. We stayed in Old town which was such a fun place.

Well that does it for the honeymoon post. Thats a record post for me!!!!

H is for Hap.. Hap... Happy Days

H is for Hap... Hap... Happy Days!!

Today is mine and Adam's one month anniversary. And I can honestly say with all the corniness I can muster that this HAS truly been the happiest month of my life. We are having a blast. We are getting settled into our routine of work and play. And I LOVE being married. I know we have only been married a month but I honestly cannot remember what it was like before I was Mrs. Knight. It feels so normal. I know this is all due to having the Lord at the center of everything we do. So we are having a blast.

We traveled to Hattiesburg this weekend and visited with the families. We are blessed to have such great families. It was nice to be home last night. I think we have made a nice little home for ourselves here in Auburn at least for the next 6 months. Starkville are you going to be able to handle the Knights?

G is for Got Married!!!!!

G is for Got Married!!!!!

Greetings friends.... I am hopeful to think that you are still checking this blog. I have not posted in such a long time I am surprised that the blog was not automatically discontinued. I think my reasons for not posting will get me off the hook this time. WE ARE MARRIED> Yep. Its official. I am now Amy Knight!!! It was a glorious day. I couldn't have imagined a more special celebration than our wedding. I had the most handsome groom, best looking wedding party, gorgeous weather and in the snap of a finger it seemed I walked back down the aisle with my husband! I LOVE saying that. "I am going to go meet my husband" "Let me introduce you to my husband" Such fun!!! We were leaving the grocery store last night and looked at each other and said we can't imagine what it was like before we were married. God is so good! He know us. Our every desire and need. Adam is my helpmate!!!

F is for fun memories

F is for fun memories

As I have been cleaning off my computer I ran across some fun pictures that delighted my heart. I think the Lord calls us to laughter and joy and to remember and reflect on times of growth. In this case I am amazed at how quickly little man has grown up right before our eyes. Adam and I are looking so forward to being close to Jackson and of course his parents (just kidding Jeremy and Amy).

This is a picture of Jackson when he got all dolled up for his aunt Kellyn and uncle Jason's wedding. Gigi and I were his dates in the nursery that date waiting for his grand entrance during the pictures> Fun Fact: They got married during the Alabama/Auburn game which happened to be the weekend that Adam and I really started "talking" on the phone. I specifically remember telling mom coming home from that trip, "there's something different about this guy". She said while I was napping on the way home I had a smile on my face. :) I think I still have that smile.


Now back to the other man in my life. This was taken of Jackson almost a month ago now. Boy has he changed. Thankfully he is no longer bald, not offense to you bald beauties (shout out to my father in law!!) If we were only like children and gained hair instead of lost it!! I miss little man. But I just got word that he will be coming to Auburn this weekend while we are there to see where his Mimi and Uncle Adam will be living. He needs to check out his room. I am so excited. Have a great day and I hope that you will reflect back on some fun memories yourself!!

E is for exciting events

E is for exciting events

22 days and counting. We are so excited for the days ahead. Adam and I spent Wednesday accomplishing a long list of "wedding" things! We are a great team! We are down to the little things now, like buying bubbles, getting rings sized and engraved, programs, and all of those little details you are afraid of forgetting.

Today we applied for our marriage license! It is so exciting to see our names printed out so formally and know that this information will be in legal records for our grandkids to look up years later. I am SO excited about becoming Mrs. Adam Knight!

One of my greatest prayers in the days ahead is that we are able to glorify the Father in our words, actions and attitudes. "Not to us Oh Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory because of Your love and faithfulness." God has been so faithful to Adam and I each day, each step of this journey. We are so excited about whats next!! To God be the glory!!!

D is for Dog tired

D is for dog tired

Have you ever been so tired that it hurts to blink? I think I am there. I just returned on Monday from a retreat with 40 college students. Now this retreat came on the heels of the end of the semester so my body, mind and soul was already worn out. Couple this with driving 3 hours to a retreat and back along with 40 wonderfully active college students = DOG TIRED. Have you ever just wanted to sleep, sleep, and then absolutely sleep some more. Thats where I am at right now. Apparently not sleeping right now because I am typing, but I am tired. Here are some pics of the students that contributed to this dog tired feeling. Love them wouldn't trade them in for new ones, but they got to sleep in the van on the way home!!!!
Students doing team builder

Most of the group except early birds who were with me!

After I got sprayed!!
