Thanksgiving 2010
"Give thanks to the God of Heaven,
His love endures forever."
~Psalm 136:26

For Thanksgiving we are always in Texas with Nate's family. It usually involves Nate, his dad, and papaw going outside immediately and working while the girl's stay inside and cook and clean. The last couple of years have been a little different.
Mamaw and Papaw are getting a little older now, and so there isn't much to do outside. After Nate and his dad finished mowing the dead grass, we all got to spend a lot of time all together. It was great.

Even though I am happy to go with Nate's family to see his grandparents and always have a good time, this year I was missing my family a little more than usual. There isn't many things I like to eat better than my Nana's famous vegetable casserole (or her stuffing). And, my grandma's Alzheimer's just continues to get worse and I wanted to be there for my mom during the holiday. It breaks my heart to think about my mom and dad sitting at home all alone on a big holiday like Thanksgiving. I guess this is what happens when we are all grown up. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

Anyway, I feel like the holidays are coming and going really fast this year.... I haven't stopped long enough to even think about what I am thankful for. At the top of my list is definitely my wonderful husband, our supportive family, and having a place that we can call home.

Girls' Weekend
I am so happy and blessed to have close friends. I was really missing our friends in AR, so I am so glad that God has sent these wonderful girls into my life here in the good 'ol OK.

There is nothing that can replace genuine female friendships. God knows what we need and when we need it :)

Happy Happy Birthdays
November 12 I turned 25. This was the first birthday where I really do feel older. I am a real adult now.... don't know how I feel about that.
