My Bestest Friend...

>> Tuesday, December 30, 2008


I was fortunate enough to get to spend some time with my best friend over the Christmas Holidays.
She recently moved out to Phoeniz, AZ and this was the first time in 6 months that we had seen each other. It's crazy when you go from living with someone, to moving out and seeing them 1-2 a week to once every 6 months or more. I didn't realize how much I missed her company and her laughs and giggles until I saw her again last week.

We had a great lunch with cousin and my hubs, and then her sweet parents hosted us for the afternoon at their house. They filled us with tiramisu and rum balls, laughter, great conversation and lots of memories.
It was a great time together and I cannot wait to see her again.
Love you Jack!

The Holidays...










Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year. We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with my in-laws and went out to dinner and then opened presents together at our house. It was so wonderful to be with them.

Christmas morning Dave, Gizmo and myself enjoyed some time alone and had a tasty breakfast and then opened our own presents. It was then right up to Spartanburg to celebrate Christmas with my parents and siblings.

It truly was one of the nicest Christmases we have had.

Thanksgiving....

>> Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Hope everyone had a truly wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with family and loved ones. We had a nice day. I cooked and hosted my first Thanksgiving. It was just Dave, myself and the inlaws and it was a great day. Then Saturday we headed up to the upstate and visited my parents, siblings and grandparents. We watched several football games, one which I will not even mention :), ate lots of mom's delicious food and have an overall good time.

As cliche as it is to say we have so many reasons to be Thankful....we really do, we are blessed with much. Great family, some how we are making it through my new career change and this horrible economy, we have great friends and a roof over our heads. There are always things to be thankful for.
Lastly, I leave you with pictures of our Thanksgiving setup.
