Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to really remember everything you are thankful for. I have alot to be thankful for that I don't realize everyday. I am so thankful for a wonderful life I have. I have a wonderful husband who truly loves me for me and understands me! I have a wonderful family and in-laws who I love so much! They are so supportive of me. I could go on and on and on,..but the point is that I am going to start to try and be thankful everyday and thank God for my life.

I was in a car accident in highschool and it was right before Thanksgiving, 1999. My eyes were opened to how easily life could be taken away from one day to the next. I need to live like this everyday! "Live everyday as if it was your last". I was also reminded of that years later.

So I want to thank everyone for being such a wonderful part of my life. Because of you my life is fullfilled :)

Justin's Tennessee Room

The little girl Tikki likes his UT room too!

Justin painted his orange ornaments too!

Justin has his own "man cave" downstairs. It has turned into a UT room. We both enjoy it! He also has his own Christmas tree too! :)

We visited my school in November,...

I had an orientation at my school at the first of November,, even though I have been in the program for almost a year. I loved my school and the teachers. I am very please with everything and I feel so much better. I am thinking about going back for graduation. I graduate in December but it could be a FUN trip!!

We can't wait until that precious baby graces us with his life, and I think Becca feels the same way :) Hopefull he will come soon!

More Jamaica pics

We went to Jamaica and the one excursion we did was go horse back riding! It was so much fun! It was a two and a half hour ride. At one point we got off of our horse and they put saddles made to go in water. We then got back on and rode them into the OCEAN! The horses knew exactly what to do and they took off! It was fun and scary at the same time!

Our Vacay,....

March 15-20 we went to Jamaica for our anniversary present to eachother. It was GREAT. Sunny and warm the entire time! better weather than our actual honeymoon! We loved it, except the last day when I was sick all day, but other than that it was awesome.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas is the time to celebrate the miracle of Jesus' birth and our
celebration that comes from the gifts of giving, and loving our friends and
family.
Over this holiday, it is easy to get lost in the big picture of commercial
Christmas, and forget the small things in life that we often take that are
often under appreciated.
I hope this Christmas greetings, lightens your day and perhaps allows for
some lightening of you load you carry.

Take the time to breathe, celebrate and enjoy

My Litlle Dog Tikki....

Tikki Broke her back right leg this past Saturday and she had to have it re-set and stayed at the vet all weekend! She is so brave and never acts like she is in pain, not even when she broke her leg. The vet was amaized that a dog with such a bad broken leg would still wag their tail at him! She is 8 years old so the vet said it will take atleast 10 weeks for her to heal...she goes back to the vet Monday!

Turkey Day (well the last 1/3)

From left to right: Justin, Jennifer, John, Mom , and My "Mammy"

We all made ornaments and then had Mom decide the best without knowing who made them. Well, I got first place and third place and Justin got second place. I guess we are good at making ornaments! :)



We had Thanksgiving at 3 Different places! It was great seeing all three families (my mom and my dad and Justin's) But it is TIRING! Especially when I had to work the next day and be out of bed by 5:15 am!!! Here are some pics from my mom and John's house.
