~ First of all, it has gotten really REALLY cold! Ugh!
~We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to Misty's home and enjoyed a WONDERFUL Feast! And...of course, me and Skyler went out shopping the next morning for BLACK Friday! We were so crazy this year and began our adventure at 1:00 AM!!! Holy Smokes...and Holy FREEZING! We didn't complete our shopping until 10:00 AM in which we ended in a laughing spree that confirmed to us that we were WAY to tired to continue any further!
~I have moved my business from my home to a State Street Location. We officially opened on December 5th, in which we had our BIG Open House. It went really well!!! Things have been busy and the work is definitely coming in! We just payed our first months rent and are beginning to feel like this is REALLY meant to be and I think it will be a GOOD thing for us! Thanks to my Family, Clint & his brother Justin...the place turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!
~Rachel got her first "SHINER" or in other words, black eye. Apparantely it is NEVER a good idea to turn off the XBOX while your big brother is in the middle of a REALLY hard level. Yep, that is what happened...Kory pushed her down because he was not happy at all. Poor girl!
~We celebrated Clint's, Halle's & my Mom's birthdays.
~I had a lump on my left side behind my arm pit and went to the doctor to have it checked out. Turns out it was only a syst, but because it had grown three times in size in just a week and a half and was really sore to the touch, I had it removed. I will HONESTLY say that was probably the SCARIEST thing I have EVER endured! (keep in mind, I HAVE had three C-sections) The doctor had to give me SIX numbing shots around the syst before he could begin...and they HONESTLY were the most painful thing I have ever had! I cried and threw up and just in all was traumatized, lol. Thank heavens my Mom was there for support because I am not sure I would have made it without her!
~We have been receiving snow...FINALLY. I cannot say that I am a FAN of snow, but really...if it is going to be freezing outside, then we might as well have snow, right? Plus I am still praying that Clint might get more work because of it!
~Me & Clint celebrated our 12th Anniversary yesterday! It is so AMAZING how quickly 12 years can go by! I am so IN LOVE with Clint and really do know that me and him were meant to be together FOREVER. We went to dinner last night and just really enjoyed our time together...just us. We did a little bit of shopping afterwards and found that we probably should have begun a little sooner, but you know....when you don't have the money, well it just doesn't always happen the way you plan! Luckily my kids haven't asked for any IMPOSSIBLE items, so I guess we should be fine!
~I am so grateful for so many things at this point in my life. I know that making the decision to move my business was a BIG one, but the amazing things that I have seen happen and all the many blessings that have came to pass have definitely made it all worth it!!!!
~Finally...I felt I MUST post these super cute photos of my kiddos on the first snow day of this year. They went out ALL BY THEMSELVES and built this super cute snowman! Aren't my kids the CUTEST? Well....most days that is :)
Okay, I probably shouldn't forget to talk about the smallest member of our family...TEX! He has really became such a great part of our family. It is so cute to me how much he has become attached to Clint. When Clint is in the tub, Tex will wait by the tub for Clint to get out...then he will lick his feet until they are COMPLETELY dry. In the mornings Tex has found GREAT comfort in snuggling up on top or next to Clint until he is awake. Tex LOVES to play fetch and will now drop ANYTHING at your feet until you give in and play with him. We sure have enjoyed the little guy and so far have NO regrets at all!
