Happy Thanksgiving!!

I think my new year's resolution will be to update the blog at least once a week...we'll see. So much going on don't even know where to start! Joely will be six months old in about a week. Time goes by so fast and he gets cuter everyday! Girls are doing well in school, dance, gymnastics, etc.

We got the Christmas tree up this last weekend (well, Corey did). It's not decorated yet but at least it's up. We went on a date (with Joel) Friday night, girlies were with Grandma and Grandpa. We both actually wanted to go to Cracker Barrel for our date dinner (you know with all the senior citizens). We opted for Ruby Tuesday instead since it seemed a little more "datish".

Had a great time in Columbia on Sunday visiting with good friends! We went to check on the properties (happy to report all is well, unlike this time last year when we were going through the eviction process with some of our tenants), visit our first church and spend time with friends. What a fabulous day. You can take the girl out of Columbia but you can't take Columbia out of the girl. Everything about that place will always have a special place in my heart. I told Corey that I want to go to CoMO for my birthday. I want to go to CC's (not the pizza) or Chris McD's, get a mani & pedi at Natural Nail and then head to the Lake for a new purse from the Coach outlet. Now that I'm thinking about it some dark chocolate covered strawberries from the Candy Factory wouldn't be bad!

We leave for Texas in about 5 hours. I'm so excited to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and siblings! We have never gone to Texas for Thanksgiving since my parents always come here. I cannot remember the last time we were all together for Thanksgiving, probably never because I moved in with my Dad right before my little brother was born. So out of the four of us there has usually always been at least one of us missing from the Holiday equation! I bet my Mom is super excited about having all her kids together for a holiday. My oh so talented sis is taking family portraits (and designing my X-mas card) while were are there. I also think the guys are squeezing in a Dallas Stars Game...against the Blues, how perfect!

So of all days to blog I pick the day that I have a million and one things on my to do list...oh and Aly has her Thanksgiving Feast today and with big crocodile tears expects her Mom to be there. I need to go pull my Super Mom cape out of the dryer now...Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Hey Jamie!
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving.

I have actually updated my blog, just this morning! That's too funny that you would mention this! I have a good reason as to why, or at least I think I have justified it pretty well! Ha Ha!

I'll give the grandbabies a hug from their grandma when they get up!

Hugs,
Connie
