I have made it back online!

Sorry everyone that I have been horrible with updates, but life has been crazy and I have been taking advantage of the fact my husband if finally home for good. I love being a newlywed!!

I came down with a horrible cold which turned into a sinus infection about a week and a half before Thanksgiving and ended up at the local clinic on a Sunday because I just couldn't take it any more....that was a 4 hour long trip! But after a few days in bed and lots of great meds I was feeling pretty good by Thanksgiving. Brandon arrived home for good on the Sunday before Thanksgiving...the dreaded 4 hour day for me at the Dr. He was so wonderful. He came to my parents where I was staying, picked up the dog and told me to stay there so I could sleep in peace. I did sleep in peace that night....18 hours of sleep! The week of Thanksgiving flew by and we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Pasadera with my parents, brother and his girlfriend. Brandon and I finally were able to eat our wedding day dinner! It was so yummy! The next day we decided that the house needed cleaning so 8 hours later...clean house and windows and bad news that Brandon's Grandmother was in the ICU in San Jose with a virus that they couldn't identify and phenomena. We headed that way Saturday and Sunday and ended up having a great time getting to see cousins and go out for a great dinner! Grandma is doing much better and is expected home from the rehab center any day! Our prayers have been answered!

The Monday after Thanksgiving I flew to Las Vegas for the International Fairs and Expositions Conference. The girls from the fair and I were there for 4 days and had a great time and won 9 awards and the Best of Show Award as well. So for those of you who are saying....what's the big deal...this is like an Emmy or an Oscar to us Fair people! I was glad to come home after the trip and see my husband. He had a busy time while I was gone starting the re-plumbing project at our house.

So since coming home I have become the Co-Director of the Children's Christmas Service at church...God Bless Tammy for helping me and am almost done with Christmas Shopping. The house is decorated, I will post pictures once I find the camera and just need to start wrapping.

I love this time of year and feel so blessed to be married, have a home, food on the table, great family and friends and all those wonderful things.

So until next time, God bless each and everyone of you during this special time of year!
