Christmas is coming...
This past weekend we were able to go to Birmingham and spend an early Christmas with some of our family. We first had a great lunch with Dad, Nana, Holly, Aaron, Betty, Ricky, John, Kat, and Ginny. We had a great time catching up and guys enjoyed football. Saturday evening we went to see Joan and the rest of my family. Heath unfortunately couldn't seem to find the sidewalk and ended up half in the yard and half ont he sidewalk twisting his ankle. Sunday, we came home, spent a few hours in urgent care finding out it was thankfully just a sprain. He has worked this week, but still is having some swelling if he is on his feet for too long.
Our Life Group Christmas party was last night. We played Bunco, a first for many of us.
I am looking forward to a relaxing week catching up on some much needed housework before Christmas and then some time working on my final projects for school. Rest is key and fun along the way, too.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday!
I had an incredible week. Preparing for Thanksgiving was easier having a few days off. We were honored to have the Kemp family join us for Thanksgiving dinner. Bryan, Missy, and their fun brood entertained Austin the whole day. It was so fun to eat, sit around and get to know our new friends better. The Russell's stopped by for a while from Charlotte. It is always nice to catch up with old friends too. Terry came over for dinner and the guys finished watching the Dallas Cowboys win...it is always better in our house if that happens! LOL!
After the game we headed to Birmingham to see another side of our family. We went to my Dad and Stepmom's. The girls got up early and headed shopping to see if we could catch some deals. Not too bad of a crowd and we each seemed to find some bargains. We made it back and the boys tossed around the football getting ready for the big game. For the Iron Bowl, we headed to see my sister and her family. We were able to stay a while after the football game, enjoy a bonfire, and play our own game, Apples to Apples (very fun)! We went back to my Dad's for the evening to enjoy dessert, which included my cookie cake...YUMMY. My family knows what I like.
I am so blessed with a wonderful family and great group of friends. I am truly thankful for them all:)

It has been a great few weeks...celebrating Heath's birthday, our 17th wedding anniversary and winding down to our Thanksgiving break. This past week was fun at school with the kiddies...making scarecrows, pilgrims, and other activities.
I am excited about the coming week to enjoy our family and friends. So often it seems that we lose sight of what really matters. May everyone enjoy this Thanksgiving and be thankful for whoever is around you, not necessary what things may fill your life.

Austin's costume was supposed to be a Mafia guy, wearing a suit and hat and carrying a toy gun. He asks Friday night when we were going to "get" his costume. Oops...I thought he would be wearing clothes he already had. We went out this morning on the hunt for a costume. He ended up choosing this escaped convict costume. He paid for it himself and was happy as can be with it. He put it on to go to work at PumkinFest, our church's annual community outreach Halloween event. Everyone got a big kick out of it and with him claiming to be "working off" his 100 hours of community service. We had fun even though it ended up being a misty, wet day! He had fun trick-or-treating with a couple of friends tonight, so all is well!

The Fair and Fun
It was close to Austin's birthday, so I took him to the fair. He ate a foot-long corn dog and I attempted to eat a funnel cake...too greasy. I made him ride the flying ship ride, rocking back and forth. He wasn't a big fan. Hopefully I haven't scarred him too bad! For his birthday he wanted to go out to eat with our family to the Japanese steakhouse for hibatchi. it was fun.
We have had so much rain, not much time to actually play soccer. Hopefully, drier weather is coming our way to enjoy the last few weeks of the season. Go Spain.

JOAN'S 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
Larry & Joan - What a great night. This was Joan's birthday and all of her family and close friends came to celebrate her. We all love Joan and her gentle and generous spirit. Michelle Miskelley (her daughter-in-law) provided an awesome tribute to her with a wonderful slide show with music, funny quotes and tons of memories of her childhood all the way to the present. I know my Mom was enjoying this night too; a great view from heaven I would say!
