Tomorrow is my last day here at Truco. It's sad to think about not working with Bethany (and Anna!) anymore, but I try not to think about it. I have a lot of peace and excitment as I start this new chapter in my life. Selling Premier jewelry will be my fulltime job as I go back to school! Last night I took the final for my History class at NCTC and next monday I start a mini holiday class. I am taking Government, one of the most boring subjects in my opinion. However, it will be nice to get it done in only 2 1/2 weeks.

I have run out of time to do Christmas cards this year. :-( Oh well, at least we have a little christmas tree up and 2 stockings on the mantel! I will post pictures of our home soon. After this week I should have a lot more time on my hands. Hopefully.

My darling nephew Pacer Sanderson was born Monday morning at 8:58am! It was so cool getting to be at his birth. Such a special memory that I will never forget. Janae was so brave and did it all natural. I am so proud of her! Pacer is the most adorable, sweet and happy little baby! (not that I'm partial or anything)


Before I go, here are two pictures of us in NM on Thanksgiving. Thank you Uncle Walt!

Update

I thought October was busy……November even more so! We had 5 jewelry parties, bought a house, moved, got sick, attended a Coldplay concert and then went to New Mexico for Thanksgiving!! Somehow, we survived.

We closed on our lovely home in Highland Village on November 14th and moved the following weekend. We are SO excited to be home owners. It’s really strange to have a huge house to ourselves. Our first night at the house was the coldest night in TX this year and our heater wasn’t working! Then the following night we thought it had been fixed and come to find out it still wasn’t working and we didn’t have heat or hot water. It was a luxury to get up and drive to work the next morning in my heated car. We are slowly unpacking boxes and getting settled in. I have no less than 5 candles burning through out the house when we are there to get rid of the “old lady” smell. We are truly thankful for all the blessings God has given us. We never dreamed we would find a house and move so fast! It had to be God’s providential plan for all the details and timing to work out so smoothly.

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Red River, NM with my aunt & uncle at their cabin. It was so much fun and we enjoyed the beautiful snow on Thanksgiving Day! That night we went downtown to the Christmas tree lighting with the locals and sang Christmas songs and looked at all the pretty lights. I just love that little town, it reminded us of “Bedford Falls” on It’s a Wonderful Life.

Here are a few pictures.

I was SO excited to be in the snow and wear boots!
