Thanksgiving in Greensboro



I know it's kind of late to post pictures from Thanksgiving, but better late than never. In the past we have always gone to Grandmother and Granddaddy Austin's house in Charlotte, this year we went to Dad and Claudette's House. It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside and we had games to play and great company. Some even spent the night and woke up and continued to enjoy each others company. Above are pictures for all to see.

The picture to the left is with my Murphy and my cousin Paige's little puppy, whose name is also Murphy.

All in all a good time was had by all! I wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season!

Happy Birthday Shannon!

Well, it's December 1st, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON!! I love you and I hope you have a great birthday! I miss you all and can't wait to see you Christmas!

Since I last wrote, I had a birthday, 34 years old now. Where do the years go? Like a good friend of mine says "Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes", my how this seems true. For my birthday I went to Greensboro, I got to celebrate with Doug and Lori on Friday. Then Saturday, Dad and I washed my new car, we had an ice cream cake (see picture on left) that Claudette got it for me, it was scrumptious! Later in the afternoon Dad, Claudette and I went to watch the NC State Football game before Claudette and I headed to the Casting Crowns Concert. I can't say what a great time that I had at the concert! The Casting Crowns were awesome and uplifting, I will have to go see them again! They come to Raleigh on March 30th! Finally to wrap up my weekend, Claudette, Brandon and I went to Church on Sunday morning. For lunch, she fixed her wonderful Lasagna and then I headed back to Raleigh to unfortunately see NC State lose to New Orleans. I had a very good weekend and I was very happy to spend it with my dad and Claudette, they truly made it a special birthday!

Also new in my life is that I am dating someone. I know I said in previous posts that I wasn't ready to date someone. Well I believe that God put Mike in my life for a reason. We met in February at Todd's birthday. Since then we have been friends growing close over the past few months. (Come to find out, he has actually liked me for a while, but I didn't seem to come around until recently.) He is a great guy who treats me very well. He is very thoughtful and caring and treats me the way I deserve to be treated. Best of all, in addition to dating, we are also great friends!

Oh yeah, I mentioned above something about my new car. To the left is a picture of it, it is a 2007 Storm Grey Nissan XTerra with black interior and I really have enjoyed it so far!

Overall, life is treating me really well, work is going great, I am staying busy, making some good friends and my bosses are a lot of fun! The boy situation is wonderful, Mike treats me like a queen. I couldn't be happier with everything that is going on in my life at this moment!
