Konnichi wa = Hello

I dropped Wes off at the airport this morning for his trip to Tokyo, Japan. We have had fun this week reading about...well...how you are supposed to act in Japan. How you greet someone, how you never ever tip, and the best one is how to let everyone know how much you are or are not enjoying your soup! The louder you slirp your soup means the more your are really enjoying it. The flight will take 16 hours and time difference is 15 hours, it is already Monday morning there! He is probably somewhere over the Pacific ocean right now and I expect to hear from him between 2am and 3am monday morning here. This get's really confusing!

This Thanksgiving will be like no other that I have experienced in my life. Mom,Dad,Lynley,Landry,Stacey,Doug,&Christi are working @ the Samaritan inn serving food, Calvin & Beverly are going to South Carolina, Mema is going to be with Vicki and the boys in New York, and Mike and Cindy are staying in Cordell to celebrate with their kiddos. I will have no family with me to celebrate all the things we have to be grateful for! But I am so thankful to have each and every member of my family, the Lord has truly given me so much more then I will ever deserve!

Here is a picture of my Halloween/Thanksgiving/Fall Decor!


Bye! or Sayonara (Sa-yo-na-ra).

Footloose

Last night I saw Footloose, the musical! It was such a fun and cute play that the Gregory-Portland Highschool put on. I was really impressed with the talent that these highschool students had.

Taking Advice From Maxine

I recieved a Maxine Thanksgiving forward today from my mom and I thought I would share my favorite one. I remember waking up @ 5AM sick as a dog the day after Thanksgiving last year with my mother and Beverly (my mother-in-law) to find all of the "deals of a lifetime" that would make it worth getting up so early...I didn't have any luck. I think I will follow Maxine's advice this year!

The weekend is coming to an end! Tears.

The weekend is winding down to an end :0(
Friday night ended up really wearing me out but it was all worth it because it was a blast! (This picture is of my good friend Julie and I Friday night).

Wes and I spent Saturday in Corpus Christi going to Home Depot and Lowes looking at kitchen countertops. Today we placed an order and I feel like a kid at Christmas time! They should be installed in about 4 weeks and I can't wait!
