so thankful!

these past couple of days i have been thinking about everything i am thankful for. i am blessed. we are SO blessed. i am thankful for so many incredible things that i don't have enough room to type everything but i truly am thankful for everything God has given me and the wonderful family and friends i have!

so instead....some random tuesday thoughts (with not many pictures.. boring)--

  • i made a pecan pie last night for a coworker. my entire house smelt amazing and now i want to make one everyday to keep that smell. i might not like to cook but i definately know how to make a delicious pecan pie. thanks mom!
  • we went to austin last weekend to celebrate thanksgiving with my wonderful in-laws. we had a full feast on saturday. cant wait for another one on thursday! i feel lucky to get 2 delicious thanksgiving feasts. maybe i should start running again?
  • when we got home on sunday i had a package in the mail. my precious sister sent me decision points by George W. Bush. i was so excited. the only catch? she wants me to be at page 175 before i see her tomorrow so we can discuss. i am on page 55. i am positive i will get to page 175 because i have so much love for GWB.
  • did i mention we are going to oklahoma for thanksgiving? GWB's book should give me plenty to do in the 7 hour car ride. weather for turkey day? high of 40. wonderful!
  • we have something every.single.weekend. until after new years. busy? i think so. but i love the holidays and am so excited for everything planned.
  • also on the agenda for december? meeting precious baby tate!! i am so ready for him to make his grand debut!

  • justin has been putting up our outside christmas lights for the past few days! can't wait to turn them on saturday night. he comes from a family of Griswold's. think im kidding? once i find a picture of his parents house i will show you. don't worry its classy not trashy. :)
  • i have a ton of decorations from our old apt and a few things i have bought then 4 months later decided i don't want for our house. what the heck do i do with it all? any suggestions? i honestly don't just want to give it all away but it is taking up one of my guest rooms.
  • and last but not least... i still have not picked a christmas picture. since i lost my camera in july and it had march-july pictures on it the only pictures i basically have of 2010 are on my phone. who wants to use an iphone picture for their yearly christmas picture? not me! so we need to take one. asap.
have a wonderful thanksgiving with family and friends! lots of love!

my love for....

CHRISTMAS CARDS!

every year i start thinking about christmas cards and get so incredibly excited. i sometimes wish i had more friends just so i could receive more christmas cards. to say i love them is an understatement. they are definately one of my most favorite things about christmas. i hate checking the mail but during christmas i check it every.single.day. i have not picked out our picture for this year but i have definately been thinking about it. so in honor of the upcoming christmas season and christmas cards on my mind here is last year's christmas card. (i can't for the life of me find our 2008 card on the computer)

the holidays are getting closer and i could not be more excited! happy wednesday!

Voting Day!

Did anyone see the heart touching entrance of the 41st and 43rd president of the United States before the Rangers game Sunday night? Talk about making my hear go pitter patter. I had to stop and rewind so I could watch it again. I dream of meeting them one day.


Don't forget to vote! God Bless America!
