Happy Belated Thanksgiving!!!!

Hope everyone had a great holiday. We did. We had 15 people at our house for dinner and I think we all had a great time. We don't have a large house but we all fit just fine....I knew we would. We did a little shopping after everyone was filled up. My sisters and I got up very early the next morning--3:30 to be exact. We met at Kohl's at 4 but didn't find anything we wanted. Then we hit Starbuck's for Peppermint Mochas and comfy chairs. We got to watch all the crazy people lining up around the building to go to WalMart! We skipped it and went to Target. Robin headed to work and Kristi and I hit the big T. We got lots of goodies and stood in line for over an hour to check out. Target was soooo not prepared for the rush. Surprising because they normally do a better job.

Let's see what else has gone on????

Oh yeah, my hubby and I finished my island for my scrap room. I did it piece by piece and now it's done. I just need to put molding around the table top to make it pretty. It's even on wheels so I can move it around. Thanks honey!

I finished my Christmas advent tree for the boys also. I can't wait to get the candy and fill it up just in time for December 1st!

Well I think that's enough for now! Be back soon.

Arctic North!!!

That's right, we're back from the Arctic North! We even have a patch to prove it. It says"We survived camping in freezing weather". Never thought I'd get one of those living in Florida but this weekend we definitely earned it. It was extremely cold when we went to bed in our tent on Friday night but during the night it really dropped. When revelie was blown at 6:49 am (yes 6:49) It was around 34-37 degrees. Needless to say we were very bundled up when we went to the flag raising at 7:45. Believe it or not I let the bugler live. After only a few hours sleep he was the last person I wanted to see at 6:49 but he played his little tune and moved on to wake other unsuspecting campers.

Tanner had a great time on his first cub scout campout. It was Tiger Growl weekend at Camp La-No-Che in Eustis. He couldn't wait to shoot the bb gun and the bow and arrow. We hiked and cooked our own food and slept in the tent. Well, I take that back, he and Dew slept in the tent. I layed in the tent and tried to sleep and keep from freezing to death. The ground is very hard and cold and I feel very old today! I let Dew and Tanner have the air mattress since Dew has such a bad back. My sweet hubby bought a king size air mattress as soon as we got home today so next time we all sleep on the mattress! Thanks honey!

The kids are off all week for Thanksgiving so Taylor is watching Tanner for me tomorrow so I can work. He loves Taylor and can't wait to spend the morning with her. Watch out Taylor!

Oh well, I need sleep so I'll post a few shots from this weekend and I'm off to bed.

See ya!

Man.....has it been 7 months! I really need to be better at this. I'm going to try!
So much going on around here. Work is crazy busy and only going to get worse. Giving up 3 of my 14 clinics and adding 13 in Tampa, Brandon, St Pete and Clearwater. Crazy Busy!
Nate has his truck on the road. He's slowly changing it from a work truck to HIS truck. He's doing a great job getting parts of it painted neon green. The grill, dash, windshield wipers and parts of the interior are now green. It looks very professional. He starts training at Winn Dixie on Monday. He's going to start as a cashier. I hope he does well and likes it for now. Not something he wants to do forever but at least he'll have spending money and gas money.
Tanner is doing great. Recovering from another bout of illness. This time just stuffy nose and fever. He came home from school early on Thursday ( I was out of town so Daddy had to do the pickup), and I kept him home on Friday since he was still feeling yucky. Doing better today thankfully. He's doing great in school and moved up in reading level again! Go T!
I'm working on revamping my scrap room/office. I moved all my work paraphenalia to one area and am working on plans for an island with storage to take the place of my table. Dew is willing to put it together for me once I get what I want! Mom brought me a window for my scraproom as well. I can't wait to get it put in. Will take away some wall space but I'll be able to get sunlight in and look out at the world. I won't feel like I'm working in a cave anymore.
Oh well don't want to burn myself out on my first post in 7 months!!!
Gotta get some rest before the sun comes up!
