Oh Christmas Tree

Reese and I went and picked out our Christmas tree on Thursday night. I just love this time of the year and love my cute little tree.

Grab Your Gun...

Every year for Thanksgiving Brock has a turkey shoot behind my parents house. This year was no exception, Brock flew in from Chicago with plans already in the making. I'm a terrible shot, eyes closed and all, but it is still fun to shoot. Basically as long as you put in a dollar your in the runnings for the jackpot, so next year for Thanksgiving grab your gun and head to the Hancock's.

Ready Aim Fire!

November

November was a pretty busy month for me. The first week of November I was in Phoenix, the next couple of weeks work was crazy because there was a federal review at work and so all of my files had to be just right and people observed my visits which about sent me over the edge, just a little too much stress for me. Reese and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on the 19th (time goes by way too fast), both of my parents had birthdays, and then of course Thanksgiving. Life is finally calming down a bit so here are finally some new posts.

Birthday Time

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!
I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents. My eyes have been opened the last couple of years as I have worked in social services to realize how blessed I am to have such a good family and good parents. My parents both work so hard, are selfless, love their children unconditionally, and are just down right good people. They are both still my parents, but are some of my best friends that I have. I love hanging out with them and want them to know how much I love and appreciate them!
