Thanksgiving!

Can I just say that thanksgiving rocks! I mean, what other holiday is it perfectly acceptable to load up a huge plate of yummy food and then not be scoffed at when you go for seconds. Seriously though, thanksgiving is always so much fun! Every year, we get together with my mom's side of the family. I am very close to my cousins and I feel like some of my happiest memories have been with them. It has been fun to have Lexi home this past week. I forget how fun she is until she comes home. Luckily, she'll be home in a few weeks for the Christmas break. Anyway, I am so grateful for family.


And of course, what is a holiday without a few pictures!

THIS IS THE LIFE

It's apart of my daily routine to check for updates on blogs. Seriously, I get this weird over-excitement feeling when new pictures are posted and I am able to get updates on those people I love most. Unfortunately, their diligence in updating their blogs has not rubbed off on me...sorry. It's crazy how life changes. I've made a huge transition in life by moving home away from some of my best friends and the carefree college life. Fortunately, I have learned recently that change, although difficult at times, can turn out to be awesome! Since August I have started an incredible job at a hospital in an intesive care unit that is so updated and the new technology makes it exciting to be apart of. Since August I have been able to hang out with my family a ton. I was so sad to see Ryan, Nicole, and the kids move away but I loved getting to know Alie, Ray, and Jenna better. The highlight was being able to read to Jenna, she is such a sweetheart. I was able to be at the hospital the day my sister Aubry had her first little girl, Josie. Her son Gage will say my name now, it's pretty fun for me. My sister Raquel just moved around the corner from us! I consider her 7 month old girl, Presley, one my best buds. She is the easiest little girl to be around and I love that I get to hang around her more. My mom has taken the role of my real estate agent. We have put in a few offers on houses for me but none of them have been accepted. We term it, "throwing mud against the wall". One of these days, that mud will stick! Until then I will just keep saving my pennies and live for free with my parents who are dang good roommates. Sounds like a good plan to me!

My mom, vampire Gage, and I on halloween!

Here is Presley. I stole this picture off of Raquel's blog, sorry Rock! Anyway, I love this little girl.

This is my new sweet little neice. My sister Aubry just happens to be a photographer, check her website out. http://www.aubryandmegan.com
