Monday update

Another weekend come and gone. This has been a tough week for our family. A very very dear friend of our family, Larry Seals, passed away from Cancer. He and his wife Karen have probably been the most caring, thoughtful friends my parents have ever had. They have been a support system for our family when we have needed them most. Larry was diagnosed in August ( or towards the end of the summer) and since then has been bravely battling this terrible disease. My dad and mom were able to talk to him the night before he passed….Larry listened but was unable to talk. He went to God with his whole family around him and Karen laying next to him. So please pray for the Seals family and my mom and dad. My dad as especially taken this hard but always is trying to put on the brave face.

I have posted a few pictures from this weekend. We have some friend over to watch Texas Tech play and to watch the UFC fights. Had a great time. Helped Skyler move the couches she bought from us on Sunday. Brian and I ordered a pizza and watched Ice Age 3. Cute! Soli has been sick again. Throwing up and acting sad. He has been sleeping between us…the only blessing is that he isn’t waking us up at the crack of dawn to eat. He is very content snuggled up with us instead.

Have a good week!

The Blog is Back!

Well I know it has been too long since my last blog. Yes, facebook keeps me away and I promise to not let It anymore. Brian and I are doing great. I posted some pictures of Halloween for all to see. We had a terrific time! We went to Susan and Steven’s for a party and also met a customer of Brian’s out and hit a few other places around town to people watch. I am sure you will think we are crazy but we decorated for Christmas this weekend. Jarrod was available and Brian needs help getting the Christmas trees down from the attic as well as putting up the big one in the living room. Skyler also came over to help out. We worked hard but had fun and now we are ready for the holidays. Hey what can I say? I like to maximaize my X-mas decoration time! Jon joined us in the evening for the UFC fights. Yesterday we bought 2 new couches for the living room. We went for comfort this time and let me tell you I have never sat on a better couch. Each couch has a recliner on each end for a total of 4. Now when company comes we will all be so relaxed when watching tv. I am looking forward to Adrian and Lenny coming in 2 weeks. We are going to stay in and catch up. I will whip up something good for dinner and enjoy my time with Adrian. She is so far away now in Minnesota but it will be nice to see her pretty face again! We are staying home for Thanksgiving and hopefully going to the TT vs. Baylor game the day after at the new Cowboy’s Stadium. Should be fun! Brian has been traveling a lot recently but I think he is home at least for a couple of weeks. I love it! Last night we watching two good movies and ate Whataburger. I know I know but we have to live a little sometimes! Hope all is well with you and yours.
