December Thus Far

We have been bums around here, 
just lazy ole' bums! 

We haven't had any holiday parties yet, 
which is good since Blake is in the teeth of finals. 
He had his 2 hardest on Friday 
and we are thrilled to have them over with. 
He has 1 tomorrow, 1 Tuesday and his last on Wednesday...
then it is officially the Christmas holiday!!!!
and we are officially HALF WAY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been busy driving between 
Lubbock and Pecos for work.  
It's really not that bad 
since I spend a couple of nights a week down there.  
Ideally, 
I would love to be home with the boys
but somebody has to work around here!! 

We did head over to the Carol of Lights last Saturday
with the Hooks and Atropos. 
It is Techs lighting of all the lights on campus. 
There is a parade, caroling and then the lighting. 
The weather has been unseasonably warm 
so it was actually a very pleasant night to be outside; 
not very cold and NO wind! 

On Tuesday I had lunch with all the girls.  
We used to get together all the time for happy hours 
but now that 4 of the 6 are currently pregnant,
we have decided lunch is the best way for us all to get together. 
It's always so fun to get together with them. 

Last night, 
we met our friends the Sawyers for supper at Chuy's 
for Zach's birthday. 
It was so much fun to get to visit, catch up 
and celebrate Zach's birth!! 

So that's all going on over here.  

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season thus far! 
Stay safe. 

Thankful Days 26-30

Day 26: After chatting with her the other day for 1.5 hours, I am reminded how thankful I am for Nonna. The lady is incredible! She always has an answer for everything....knows how to get a stain out of anything, knows how to cook anything, knows how to deal with unreasonable people. Just a true gem!!

Day 27: thankful for my sister in law, Jill. She is a great big sister to Blake and has welcomed me into the family with open arms!

Day 28: thankful for my sister, Rebecca. Although, we don't get to see her very often we do enjoy our time when we are together.

Day 29: Thankful for the opportunity to travel that my parents gave me growing up. What amazing people they are always giving and what amazing memories I will treasure forever!

Day 30: Thankful for the holidays. I means time with family and that's my favorite!!!
