Past Due

Well, Eric and I haven't written at all in this glorious month of November... so I will rectify that :)

I have always liked November a lot for several different reasons-
* It is the beginning of the holiday season. I get excited about seasonal decorating and trying to find gifts to match family and friends ( I have always loved giving gifts that are creative or suited for the person or maybe just plain "cute").
* I love Thanksgiving... I might even dare say it is my favorite holiday (much to the angst of one friend who declared it a "Male Holiday"). I have a lot of wonderful memories with my grandparents and family making food, watching the Cowboys play, hiking in Sedona, and playing football outside. And now as a kindergarten teacher I get to relive all those projects like "Indian" vests, headresses, turkey creations, pumpkin pie cooking...
* I love the weather- it's finally turning cooler (for Texas and now Alabama) and it finally feels like the season of fall.

Well this blog was supposed to be what we have been up to so I will type on . . .

Our kittens are well loved and doted upon. They went to the vet today- all healthy which is good because we are attached. Having pets is quite the responsibility- it is our first step towards parenthood. So far they have not destroyed anything... but they do like to pull our internet cord out of the computer which unfortunately frustrates Eric much more than me.

I went with Eric and the youth on a youth retreat at the beginning of November. The retreat was good. I am not the "youth leader" type in many ways, but it was fun to go and spend time with our youth and be a help to Eric. I will create another post about my funny experience there.

My grandparents from Arizona came to visit us last weekend... and brought us a 1986 Plymouth. We are stylin with it. It is always such a blessing to spend time with my grandparents, and it was good to show them our life in Greenville.

Well this post is getting too long (there is probably etiquette about this sort of thing). So I will end it :)
