Thanksgiving Break

Wow, I was so excited about Thanksgiving break, and now it's over. Last week was packed to the max and we never stopped for a minute.

What all did we do? Well...

Monday, we had an ultrasound to check for downs and all those other things... the baby looked perfect! Heartbeat was at 174 and the doctor was pretty confident it's a GIRL (80% sure). So we were thrilled about that! I wish we had recorded Mili though when we told her the news... she's already a little dramatic, but she was SO SO SO excited. She kept saying, "I told you so, I told you so." And I even got an "in your face mom" one time. lol... Needless to say, she is completely pumped about a little sister.

Tuesday, I spent the day with one of my best friends, Chelsey. We had the BEST afternoon... shopping and eating, two of our favorite things :) But really her company is what I enjoyed the most. It has been too long where just us two- no husbands, or kids, or anyone really- were able to just spend time together. And she helped me decorate my house, and though I shouldn't probably say it... my house looks adorable with all it's Christmas decorations.

Wednesday-Saturday, Stephen's family came into town and we had a great time. Always a lot of laughing going on when we are all together. We, of course, ate a lot. My mom cooked and we all ate dinner at my mom's house. One thing I am thankful for is my family, and Stephen's as well. Everyone thoroughly enjoys each other and it's just a blessings that not only are we close to both sides, they are close to each other. We also did a little "Black Friday" shopping... my husband was happy with everything I bought, but not too pumped about how much I spent. Let's just say I should be expecting personal Thank You cards in the mail from certain stores. However, in my defense, EVERYTHING I bought was on sale and I couldn't afford NOT to buy it... That's my story and I am sticking to it!!

Saturday, after family had left, Stephen and I enjoyed some quiet time alone. Being on the go is so much fun, and even though I was around my husband every second of the week, there is just something special about those nights out all alone. I LOVE them! So we went and had sushi (I am feeling great and food is finally sounds so good), picked up some firewood and made a fire at the house, and snuggled up together to watch a movie. A very relaxing, but sweet night. I love him so much, and love making memories with him!

Sunday, great day at church.... I can't say enough about how much I love and appreciate my Sunday School girls. They are just a true blessing to my life and I enjoy not only teaching them, but growing with them!!

On another note, Sunday was a GREAT day for Houston teams! Texans and Rockets won!! Hopefully the Rockets will do it again tonight!

Well, my conference period is almost over and I am about to leave school for the day!! I have the best man in the world at home waiting on me, so I will be leaving right at 4 today! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

(3 more weeks and I am off for Christmas break for 2 weeks) :)

Bye Bye Blackberry!

Stephen and I went Christmas shopping yesterday and to much of my surprise, I got an early Christmas present... well, we both did. I have never kept a phone for a long time, but Stephen gave me my Blackberry for my birthday two years ago and I was in desperate need for a new phone/toy (or I just really wanted one lol). So... we both got Sprint's new htc Evo. It's so much fun, although, all I want to do is play on it. Thank you baby!


Also, thank you Thanksgiving break for being next week! I am so ready to spend my time relaxing with you!!!

It's the little things I am thankful for...

For example, singing praise and worship songs in the car with my husband. Both of us belting them out with everything inside of us, and harmonizing to each other.

I love loving the Lord with my husband.

Fun fun fun

I LOVE THE ROCKETS!

My brother this year has season tickets, so right away he asked what games we wanted. Stephen told him a few, Sean said that would be ok, and also asked if we wanted to go to the 2nd home game too, just for fun. Soooo.... Sean, Daniel, Stephen and I all loaded up last Wednesday and went to the game. We were so excited. The whole school day dragged on, because all I could think about was the game. (We won't talk about their record, even though we have a GREAT team this year)

We get to the game, my brother takes us to his seats... they are pretty good. And Stephen and I are ready to start some hardcore cheering. Before we started walking down my brother said, "Hey yall come with me real quick". Ready to get settled in our seats, we gave him a hard time, but he insisted. So... we did.... all the way back down the elevator and half way around the arena we followed. He lead the way, handed four tickets to the man at the club level seats and walked us right in. We were confused and wondering what we were doing in there. We walked through where the food was and started down the stairs, right to the court, where Sean told us we would be watching the game! Like little kids on Christmas morning, we started FREAKING out. We had a wonderful time and I have never loved my brother more! As much as I love taking pictures, I kept forgetting because I was so wrapped up into the game.

Happy Halloween!!!

Here are some pictures from our Halloween weekend!!! Enjoy...
