I Am Thankful For.....

Since it is the week of Thanksgiving, I want to let some people know how thankful I am and how blessed I feel...

I am thankful for my family:

• To my Husband, whom I am crazy about and feel lucky to have found, you are my best friend.  You make me feel special and always loved!  As cliche as this is, I feel as if the glass slipper fit perfectly.  I am thankful for the wait for you.  I hope I make you feel just as loved.
• To my Parents,  thank you for your love and support.  Thank you for letting me fall and for, always, being there to help me back up.  Even standing me on my own two feet when I couldn't do it myself.  Thank you for the perfect wedding that you gave Lee and I and for enjoying every minute of it.  Thank you for your sacrifice!
• To my Sisters, thank you for the time, money and effort that you put into our wedding!  I felt undeserving yet you both gave me everything and more!  I love you so much!
• To my new extended family (Bill, Barbara, Scooter, Terri, Dani, Eric, Nate & Ben), thank you for making me feel right at home from the beginning.  You have always made me feel as if I were already a part of the family.  I couldn't have asked for anything better!  I love you all and I am so happy to be 'in the family'!

A couple of other things that I am thankful for:

• The 'bug' - I'm not sure what Lee and I would do without her.

     

• The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rockettes!!!

    

• I am thankful for how much my husband LOVES Charlie Brown!

   

• I am thankful for PIE.....and all of the other delicious food that comes with Thanksgiving!!!

  
I realize too that everything I am thankful for is due to God and everything he sacrificed for me. 
I love this new part of mine and Lee's life!  We have so much to look forward to and yet we try to always remember that 'part of where we are going is never forgetting where we came from'. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

ICE

So, yesterday we went to the Gaylord to see the ICE display, which is Charlie Brown themed this year.  We were all so excited, Lee and I have never been before.  But when we got to the entrance, they told us they were closed due to technical difficulties.....ugh!!  The 'chiller' had gone out so the artists had to clean up the ice sculptures and then they have to be at a certain temperature for 24 hours.  Anyway, we got some good pictures in the Gaylord and we are going to try again this Saturday.  We got our picture taken with Charlie Brown so that made up for it being closed, just a little;)

This is at the entrance of the Gaylord.  They have fabulous decorations out! 

I love these reindeer water skiers!

You had to follow the Charlie Brown snowflakes to get to the ICE display.

Everything inside the Gaylord looks awesome too! I'm excited for Christmas!

 Lovely, giant reindeer and me.

Lee got a picture in with a giant reindeer too:) 

Our picture with Charlie Brown. 



More Fun with Maggie

 Sunday, Barbara and Bill brought Maggie over to hang out with Lily while the rest of us went to the Gaylord to see the ICE display.  Maggie loves playing with Lily (and vice versa) and I was able to get a video of them running around playing with each other.  There isn't much sound except me laughing and everyone in the background having their own conversations.  It is funny the way Maggie starts to play with Lily, she puts her backside in Lily's face:) 

This is what Lily looked like after playing with Maggie for about 10 minutes.  Her tongue was hanging out and she was breathing so hard.

Maggie Pictures and Our Second Fire of the Season

When Lee was dog sitting last weekend, I snapped a couple of pictures before I left.  I didn't get a good picture of Lily jumping up and down, but that is what she was doing while Lee was holding Maggie.  It was hilarious.  They are best buds now. 

Lee took a couple of pictures of Lily and I by the fire last night.  It was so nice!  Lily loves the fireplace, she will lay in front of the fire the whole time and just enjoy it.  You can see pumpkins in the background but I'm not putting them away yet.  We are moving December 20th so I'll have to pack them before then:)  

One Month Already

It is true, we have been married for a month today!  That is hard to believe but it has been a wonderful month and I know we have many more to go!  I love being married:)  I honestly wonder how I got so lucky...

Dog Sitting

Lee got the job of dog sitting for the weekend while his parents, brother and I went to Tyler.  We have made it a tradition to go the weekend of Mistletoe & Magic, which is sponsered by the Junior League and it is just a big shopping event.  We always have alot of fun and this year was no different.  Lee got a couple of great pictures of Maggie and Lily.  I have more but I forgot to bring my camera so I'll download those tomorrow.

Here is Maggie with Lily's elephant, this was right after Maggie got to our apartment.  She made herself right at home.

And this picture shows that she felt right at home too, she is hanging out in Lily's bed.  She looks so small in there:)
