Christmas Decor

We have had our Christmas decor up for a while.  I love it and think that we need lots more but we don't really have the space for much more and of course husband does not think that we need more.  I am so glad that my mom was able to be here this year to help me decorate.  Wonder if she will come back and help me take it down?

More presents were added to the trees and then those have already disappeared.  We are shipping our gifts to TX so they are on their way to insure they get there before we do.  We only have 20 more days til we are TX bound.  I cannot wait to see everyone.  Hopefully we get to see lots of friends and family. 

I am so excited to see my cousin/BFF that I have not seen since last Christmas.  She originally did not plan on coming BUT now she is.  We always have tons of fun.  Of course her GREAT dad is joining us.  I know that OUR grandparents are rejoicing in the sky that we are still getting together for this special time even though they are not here to celebrate with us.  WE LOVE YOU grandad and grandma Glasscock!

Thanksgiving 2010

Our Thanksgiving was Wonderful.  We woke up and had breakfast and looked thru the ads in the newspaper.  Then I took a nap and husband did some work downstairs.  We then ate around 4.  We had too much food and will be having it for leftovers for many more meals.  It was my first time to make dressing and it was delicious.  We both ate too much, husband had dessert many hours after eating and I did not have any!!!  We looked thru the ads and did not find anything that we needed so there was NO black Friday shopping done.  We both went to work Friday morning and then came home and had ham sandwiches and then we went to the mall to pick up a few things and to Target.  Neither the mall or Target were that busy.  I need to go to Mall of America but husband is refusing to go with me.  Well see!!!!!

Here's some pictures of some of out food:

We left the noodles, mashed potatoes and gravy on the stove.

Thankful-Part 2

One more Thankful post.

I am so very Thankful both Husbands and I's jobs.  We have both been blessed with jobs that we really enjoy.  When we first moved the job situation was kind of rough but now it is wonderful.

I LOVE my job.  This week I have thought to myself many times that I need to write a book about daily events that happen while at work.  No two days are the same, and I love that part of it.  For those that don't know, I am currently working with mentally ill homeless and then just some that at mentally ill/developementally delayed.  It is different from what I did in TX as I worked with kids there.  Some days I might go to the grocery store 3 times and other days I may wittness someone getting interegated from the police.  I love that I am able to feel like I am helping people and that they need me.  I had a client yesterday tell me that they loved me, and the sad part is is that they truely do because they have no one else. 

Husband really enjoys his job too.  Right now he likes being the boss and doing whatever he wants.  Because he is the boss he can work when he wants and doesn't want too.  He is wonderful at his job and has three employees that are really impressed with him. 

Thanks to both of our wonderful jobs we are able to live a wonderful lifestyle.  We are both very blessed.  We truly understand that there are many people out there struggling during these times.  We are Thankful for our jobs!!!!

Admitting He Has a Problem

I am writing to admit that We my Husband has a problem.  He is officially addicted to Estate Sales.  Last weekend he went to one at 5 a.m and this morning he sent me to one at 6:30 a.m.  Last weekend it was a success and he got what he went for but today I left empty handed.  I was sent to buy something worth $40 and they were trying to sell it for $325!!!!  I am pretty sure they will not be selling it.  We are going to go by tomorrow to see if we can do some negotiating. 

Of course we have more sales to go to tomorrow.  We really have gotten some wonderful things at Estate sales. 

We both do have an addiction to estate sales. 

Thankful-Part 1

I am so Thankful for my wonderful family.  I have a wonderful Husband, the best Mom and a pretty Great Dad.  Of course I also have a good Big Brother and super Sister in Law, and the WORLDS GREATEST NEPHEWS AND NIECE. 

My husband amazes me everyday.  He is a wonderful man.  Recently I have decided that we should have our own TV show because if people could see how we act on a daily basis they would think we were crazy.  But that's us and it works for us.  I love that he works so hard to let us live this wonderful life that we live. I love that he loves me and thinks of me before doing anything.  I love him and can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

My parents are AMAZING!!!!  They are always willing to help their children out in anyway.  I am also so thankful that they have accepted my husband and love him for him. They LOVE their grandbabies and are wonderful grandparents. 

My brothers family is PRECIOUS.  I love my brother and  his wife.  They are wonderful parents and  live for their children.  I am so thankful that they have let me be such a BIG part of their childrens lives. 

I have also been blessed with good in-laws and extended family!!!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busier

This is the perfect title for this post.  Life in MN has been BUSY!!! We have had visitors, working, Junior League and Estate sales have taken over our lives!!!  Although I would not change a thing.  I have never worked as much as I currently am.  Yes there is a reason I am working this much, but you do what you gotta do.  I LOVE my job so it makes it easy to work.  Andrew has also been working later into the evenings some nights.  If I am not working late I am usually at Junior League.  For the last few weeks I have at least been gone 2 nights  a week.  Then on the weekends are consumed with estate sales.  We have found lots of goodies lately.  Husband has plans of waking up at 5 A.M this weekend to get there.  Yes, we are CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

We also are having a date night this weekend.  We are going to see Due Date and going out to eat.  I can't wait.   We have not done this in a while!!!!!!
