It's the most wonderful time of the year

It may be said that it's the most wonderful time of the year but this cold weather that we have has been giving us a couple of problems but oh well. On the positive side, I got a job!! :D not a high paying one but it's a cool one none the less. I work for Dr. Tanya Prickett at the Animal World Vet. Clinic right next to Big R here in Moses. My title is doctors assistant haha I help in surgeries, but I also have to clean kennels, and such but it's a good job for now and I really enjoy it thus far.

Shadd's job keeps him busy and so I don't see him much, but as the sun goes down early and they can't work much in the dark so he comes home early :D anyways on the 20th us and my family leave for Las Vegas! :D yeah!! lol we are excited should be really fun.

Another thing is that our tree has been up since the 3rd I'll get a picture of it up as soon as I can :D

Thanksgiving

While we were in Florida I lost my camera charger :( so I haven't been able to take any pictures!! and it's really really starting to make me mad/sad, but anywho..

we went to uncle kevin and aunt lorna's house and there was 50 or so people so it was fun, we ate, we laughed, the boys rode dirt bikes around, then shot clay pigons, and when those ran out they shot anything they could throw in the air haha but ya it was fun. Then the turkey took it's toll on me and I finally took a nap, we then went and watched 'Old Dogs' and that was really funny.

I am so greatful for this time of year and the quality time we get to spend with family :D I am thankful for my family, for my extended family, and especially thankful for my husband, without him I would be lost. I love you Shadd, thanks for everything :D

DAY 1!!

We went to Sea World!!!

and the color of the day was Yellow!! It's actually a really good idea because then we can see where everyone is and on rides if a few of us are lagging we just say that we are with the other people in the color we are wearing and they let us in, or if we are lost(which did happen) just asking people if they have seen others with the same color of shirt lol

LOVE HIM!!!

There is this ride at Sea World called the Manta, and after going on it once, we watched Adam while they went on it again.. he was clearing the bags from his stroller lol
