Long Overdue Update






First of all let me apologize for not updating in over a month. There really is no excuse, except theres really not much for me to write about that anyone would really care to read.... but I am over that now. We had an awesome christmas, it seemed to last the whole week. We got to come home and thats always fun. Brannon and I had our 7th anniversary on the 19th of this month. Time flies doesnt it? And this month started the year of the 30's. I have a few friends who are already 30 ...you know who you are... then my bestest friend from high school turned 30 on the 15th and my one of my bestest friends from college turns the big 30 on the 31st. WOW - i still have a few months but its coming for me too.... I dont know about them, or anyone reading this blog, but I sure dont feel thirty. What does 30 feel like? To me its just as you are growing up, you have these ideas of what you will be doing at a certain age... and i dont feel like I am there. at 30 do you still miss your mom and dad so much you cant stand it? do you wonder what the next 30 years will be like? do you rejoice in new friends and wonder what happened to others? I guess so because thats what I feel like. In some ways my life isnt what I thought it would be at 29 and counting... but in other ways it is SO much better. So for all my friends who are 30 and are turning 30 this year - Happy Birthday. Hopefully these will be the best years of our life.

I dont really have any new pics... i know mother, i am terrible. So i thought i would go through some OLD pics and share those. Hope you enjoy.

Better Late than Never Halloween Pics

War Eagle Anyway





pics from the game

Thanksgiving





Well, we made the trip and got back sunday night... we all were exhausted but had a great time and enjoyed being with family and friends we dont see all that often. On friday me and my mom went shopping (5am) just like old times and I really enjoyed that. Its not often that when I am home that I get to spend any one on one time with mother or daddy... so that was a treat. On Saturday Brannon and I headed to T Town with some friends for the game. and despite the score, we had a really good time... i can only imagine how much fun it would have been if we were winning.

Here are a few pics from the weekend.... i will post more this weekend because our neighborhood is having breakfast with Santa on saturday... anyone want to bet on how that will turn out? will we be brave or scared to death? i guess we will have to wait and see...

hope everyone is having a good week... only 3 more until Christmas.

No Matter the Outcome

2 verses of comfort.....

Proverbs 21:1 The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord, and like the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wishes

Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

We need to remember to pray for our leaders, no matter who they are.

regardless who wins, history will be made. Hope everyone voted....

Will post pics tomorrow -

Remember to pray tonight and tomorrow for the election.... it isnt over yet.
"I know you are sometimes unsure, but I can to immeasurably more than all you
ask or imagine according to my power that is at work within you. So honor me
in your life and you will make a difference in the church, in the world and for
generations to come." Eph 3:20-21
