Sigh...

I just wanted to say that I have had the most enjoyable week ever! I spent lots of quality time with lots of great people. I was able to attend not one, but two Baylor football games, including one at the new Cowboys Stadium. I didn't have to work. I got to sleep in. I got to spend nearly all day shopping on Friday and even bought something!

There's way too much to recount, it was just a really great week and I'm having a hard time with the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Three more weeks...just 15 school days!

I don't really know what to say...

It's been quite awhile since I've found myself sitting at the computer to blog. There's been some super fun times that I wish I could document but the details are escaping! I'm thinking a list format might be easiest...

1) About a week and half ago my dog gave me a black-eye. I've never had a black-eye before but now I can say that it HURTS! I was bending down tying my shoes and Baylor got right underneath me and then jumped. Her very, very, very hard head hit my cheek bone. I wanted to roll around on the floor and cry, but I didn't.

2) I had the great opportunity to attend the Baylor vs. A&M game in College Station last weekend. The game was horrible, but it was fun to hang out with my friend Haley and witness her 2-year-old daughter's first "real" trip to Aggieland. A&M is a place rich in tradition and it was cool to see Abby experience that for the first time. See...I do have a little bit of respect for the Aggies.



3) I've been able to spend a lot of quality time with my good buddy, Meagan. This girl cracks me up!


4) I was able to lend a hand to my friend Stacey. She needed some help in the kitchen. If you know me at all you know how silly that statement is. We tried to make the famous Thanksgiving rolls. I had to leave before they were finished but I believe they turned out well! The highlight of this day was getting to feed Sutton and then him falling asleep in my arms. He's so cute!


5) Last night I got to attend the Dallas Mavericks game with lots of my favorite people. It was a great time filled with lots of unplanned adventures. We almost made an appearance on the 10 o'clock news too!







6) I've been off all week for Thanksgiving and I really, really, really enjoy days off!

7) Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I've spent quite a bit of time pondering all that I'm thankful for this year. I can't believe that it's already been a year since last Thanksgiving. I feel like I did a pretty good job documenting all that I was thankful for last year and I can easily say that I'm thankful for all of those same things this year. I'm also extremely thankful that even though some things have changed this year, the people that are most important to me have remained constant. I'm so thankful for my family and friends that God has graciously placed in my life. I am blessed!

8) I'm already so excited for Black Friday Shopping! Always a fun time with my friends!

9) I believe I'm done!

Remember...

Do you remember two weeks ago when I showed you how much Baylor was enjoying her new memory foam bed?

Well, she has really gotten a lot of use out of it the last couple days...


Not really what I had envisioned but I guess it's alright. And while chewing up your own bed might suggest that she's not the smartest dog in town, she does occasionally prove otherwise. The other night we were watching TV (seriously, she sits and watches TV with me) and she very calmly got up, put her paw on the door and waited for me to let her outside. Then today she let me know that she wanted to go for a walk by finding her leash and laying by the door with it...


Her current favorite pastime is playing fetch. She will alternate back and forth between her red and blue tennis balls for about 30 minutes. We've been working on her catching skills and she's improved quite a bit. It won't be long until she hits the road as an amazing trick dog!

Just for fun, look at how small she used to be...
