Tonka's First Snow

It looks like with the chaos that was Thanksgiving I forgot to post this. It snowed a bit last week so Tonka got to play in his first snow. He did not appreciate it at first but after he finally got his feet wet he loved it as you can see!

Hopefully we will see a lot more snow this winter so that Tonka can play.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Whew, I've been MIA but for good reason. Last week was busy to say the least. Wednesday night I hosted a 31 Gifts Party. It was small but there was no shortage of laughter. Nights like those remind me how grateful I am to have my friends to always keep me laughing.

Thursday night was even better. It was my turn to host Supper Club for JL so 8 or so of my girlfriends came over for dinner complete with china place settings for the dining room table. We had turkey tenderloin casserole, italian green beans, macaroni and cheese, salad, and a pumpkin cream trifle for dessert. Everything was fabulous if I don't say so myself.

Finally, Friday night the family arrived for a weekend for food, fun, and fellowship. We had wayyyy more food than the average person should ever have in their house at one time but it was excellent. It was a great weekend and I took tons of pics but I've included a few below because I know you would rather look at pics that hear me babble.

Today we will head to my dad's for more Thanksgiving fun before returning home to nap on the couch. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family!! Enjoy!!

The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling

Nope, that is just my retirement you see being flushed.

Just for historical purposes as I write this post it looks like the market will close today at around 7,500.

This is a drop from around 14,000 earlier this year. Wonderful.

Well its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most

Not where you live or the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes. There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know. So if you agree have a drink with me raise you glasses for a toast. To a little bit of chicken fried~ The Zac Brown Band

This pretty much sums it up for me :)

Homecoming, Family, and Another BIG Win!

Each year for ECU Homecoming we gather up the family and the tailgating supplies and head east. This year was by far the biggest group we have had and all 12 of us had a great day!

Steve and I got up early Saturday morning (5am....yuck) to get things going. We then went to meet my grandparents before meeting Steve's family in Raleigh. We finally arrived in Greenville at around 10:30 to setup camp. Below are a few pics from the day. I'm already counting down until next year.

My nephew sporting his new ECU shirt. His parents are actually App State grads but I'm working on him. Gotta start them young :)

A decent shot of a tackle by ECU during the 1st half. Overall, my shots for the weekend weren't very impressive but you can't be perfect all the time I guess.




My fabulous grandparents :) My grandpa is such a trooper. He was in the hospital all summer and had some pretty bad days but he was at the game in great spirits to watch the Pirates win on Saturday.




My dad and stepmom. I'm not sure if you can tell but my father is a little confused hence the Duke hate and ECU shirt. He is an avid Duke fan so he was supporting both teams for the day.




My inlaws and my other nephew. He also has an ECU sweatshirt that he loves to rock. I swear I'm working on them all.




Me and my fabulous husband. Aren't we cute?




Steve's brother and sister in law. They are wonderful and we all had a great time. We are all counting the days until the Mountaineers come to Greenville in September. Go Pirates!!





I told you. That is a future ECU kicker right there! It was such a fun day. Thanks to everyone for traveling to ECU to enjoy the game.
