Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for I don't even think I could list everything. I am thankful for life and that my family has been a fabulous example of how to live it to the fullest! I am thankful for the fact that my parents made it to their 30th anniversary and they are more in love each and every day. I am thankful for siblings who have wonderful families.

I am thankful for the best husband in the world. I am thankful that I have in-laws that feel like they have always been my family.

Most of all I am thankful for my relationship with my Savior - he has taught me so much over the last four years! And because I find comfort in knowing - - - "His eye is on the sparrow. And I know he watches me."

Thank you Lord for blessing me with so many wonderful people and such comfort. Even though I know I don't deserve it, I am humbled with how blessed we are.

Happy 30th Mom & Dad

Friday was our parent's 30th Anniversary. They have been through it and back. With three kids, I'm sure it was hell on wheels while we were growing up. Since then they've had mom's quadruple bypass and Dad's stroke. Their love is truly a blessing and you can see God in each of their eyes.

We were proud to share this milestone with our parents. And the kids were happy to share in the food!!!! The cake was too cute with a picture from their early dating days. We had a fabulous time. Thanks Allan for the fabulous dinner! Nothing better than family and food!!

These two were too cute together, delirious by the end of the night!


My sister and the princess!

Dad Has Graduated!!!

Yesterday, Dad graduated from the Neuro program at DRMC yesterday. He gave a speach that was very moving about determination and how blessed he felt to have such a great team helping him and a loving family to help with the day to day hardships.



Dad, we are so proud of you!

Ellie

This past weekend, my brother and his family came for a visit. All of their boys are so sweet and they brought Ellie with them! She is such a cuddle bug. Her and Nate just loved on each other and both really enjoyed playing together. Plus she's got my name down! She is too cute.


I can't believe we actually got them to be still long enough to snap this shot! Too cute!

Sarah's Birthday

Recently my beautiful neice Sarah turned 11! I can NOT believe she is that old. I remember her bald little head when she was a baby like it was yesterday. She has such a kind heart. She would give anyone the shirt off her back.


We had dinner at my Mom's for her birthday! Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans. Top that off with a big ol' piece of birthday cake and you CAN'T go wrong! Happy birthday Sarah Nicole!

A Few Updates

I am superbusy with sudying for the BAR Exam, working full time and working out 4 days a week, but I LOVE to do things around our home. Recently I cooked tilapia for the first time (We usually get the ones ready to go - you just stick em in the oven). If I do say so myself, it was YUMMY! Here's a pic just in case you don't believe me. I even paired it with the perfect wine.

What a lovely dinner for two!

Dad's a Genius

Ok, for some reason it seems my Dad is a glutton for punishment. Instead of living up the fact that he no longer has to work 14 hours a day, he has decided to finish his degree - - - - - IN BIOCHEMISTRY!

Um, yea. Needless to say, none of us have a clue what the pages in his book say, but he just flies through it. God is wonderful and we see it everyday! These are a few of the pics we took before and after his class.



The book assigned for Chem. 3510. He does have a Calculus book he works out of as a refresher - I don't know people - he likes to learn - he's just weird like that.


That board is full of stuff I don't understand.


I have no idea what this board says either.


On his way into the Chemistry building at UNT.
