catching up with pictures

 went to san antonio for a few days over thanksgiving and it was awesome!

 we stayed at the elian resort and spa. this is the back of it and its such a cool place. if i could, i would move here. (san antonio is beautiful with its hills and all the trees!) its a mix of resort and apartment complexes. it also had a restaurant, bar and business's.  see the black and white awning? perfect spot for me to open a home decor/photography business.

 we got to meet ricky williams. he played for the longhorns and the dolphins and he was in town.

made mike's day! (he got the jersey he's wearing signed.)

 while in san antonio, the dad's and kids went to six flags and sea world. while us mom's shopped and just chilled at the resort. again, it was awesome!  we ate thanksgiving dinner at a little place called mimi's cafe. their turkey was very moist and the food was delish but ham and i both think homemade is better.

 making taco's in my new shoes. 

 decorating the christmas tree with funny faces. oh boy- kids are funny!

 went and painted christmas presents for my parents.  reindeers are grandkids.

 my neighbor's house. he does this all by himself every year. 

 friday lunch date 's at her school.

best friend coming over to decorate gingerbread houses.

keeping busy, planning and more decisions

 1. i was standing by the counter one day and found ollie staring at me. he does that from time to time and it kinda freaks me out.

2. i've been doing some swaps on instagram. this is my latest one that i sent. it was from your hometown theme. so much fun but so expensive once you add shipping. (that long thing in bubble wrap is a texas shot glass, of course.)

3. for either kaylee's birthday or for christmas, i signed her up for subscription box (poshpak). she loves getting mail and she's always trying to scam my goodies.

4. instead of heading up to indiana for thanksgiving, we're thinking about taking a few days and head up to san antonio with one of mike's co-workers/running buddy+ family.

5. we want to make use of our sea world season pass and hit six flags even though mike's the only one who rides roller coasters.

6. it would of been too busy of a trip to head up to indiana for the week especially since we were wanting to drive.

7. plus, it doesn't make sense to look at houses when they could be sold by the time we put our house on the market. though the houses around here sell a lot faster than back in indiana.

8. ham texted me yesterday that be got admitted into A+M too!

9. he's been doing a semester at a community college up in college station since he's changing his major to commercial architecture???  engineering was too hard and you must be a genius if you are one ; )

10. so now he has a big decision to make. stay at A+M or transfer to purdue.

1. after school on monday, this sweet thing said she was homesick while in school. she just wanted to be home with me.

2. then she went on and said that she loves her life and she doesn't want to be anybody else. how awesome is that? 

3. back in my days, i wished i was someone else or had someone else's life. even to this day i don't feel loved unconditionally or wanted- by my parents.

4. this week has been one of those take a nap everyday kind of week. just been going to bed late and waking up early.

5. we started bootcamp again on monday. they have us do a workout called baseline on the first day for time. then we do it again on the second to last day so we can see if we improved. 

6. last nights workout was another good one. i rocked it on the box jumps and squats but running those short distances kicked my butt.

7. we're debating on heading back to indiana over thanksgiving break since kaylee has the whole week off to go and look at houses. hopefully the ones we like are still for sale.

8. also debating on kaylee's halloween costume. as of right now, she's going as a witch. i wanted something more creative like last years candy robber.

9. been secretly snacking on talenti gelato. southern butter pecan, fudge brownie and peanut butter cup have been my favorites.

10. i'm also secretly debating on purchasing this purse. or this one or this size.
