30 Days of Thankfulness

November 14th - Today I am thankful that my parents came to visit.

Today was actually a pretty crazy day...but it was nice to visit with my parents. They came in town to go to the OSU Basketball game...the first REAL game, even though it was still non-conference. We got there about 15 minutes to tip-off...but when we got up to the arena, the clock showed we still had 50 minutes. A little confused, we asked one of the event staff what was happening. Turned out, the officials weren't there yet. We got our seats and some drinks and popcorn to share. When the clock was at 27 minutes, it stopped...so we assumed the refs were there. WRONG! They announced that the refs were still not there and tip-off was still at least and hour away. Mom and dad were heading back to Tulsa to be at Mason's last game of the year, so they needed to be gone by 4pm....tip-off wasn't going to be until at least 3pm....so we left. We left our seats, our drinks and popcorn, our paid parking, and my "un-used" ticket. CRAZY! Apparently, the officials were never notified of the time change of the game. Anyway---we left there and met Kenny out on the road as were walking to our car. He said he would give us a ride :-/ ...dad got in the front and mom and I in back....until mom realized that she was literally in a cage! There were bars in front of her and on the door window...and no handle to get out!!! She started getting chlosterphobic FAST! Kenny got her out and we just walked to the care. :) We then went out for mexican food!!! YUM! They also helped me pick out paint colors and played with the dogs. I am thankful that my parents live close enough to come visit anytime! I am thankful that they enjoy going to athletic events! I am thankful that they enjoy coming to see us!

I also just want to say that I am so excited that both the Cowboy teams (basketball and football) won their games! And Mason, my nephew, won his game too!!!! I am really excited and thankful for that!!!! It was his last game before he plays "real" football for Union. My brother has been Mason's coach for a long time and now he has to let Mason go play for the big, school coaches. I can't wait to see how God uses Mason with Football...he is such a GREAT athlete!!!!!

November 15th - Today I am thankful for our wedding pictures!

We got our wedding pictures in the mail on Saturday. I opened the disc today and downloaded them to my computer. I LOVE THEM!!!! I made myself stop looking at them when I got the website on my email last week...I was getting too nit-picky with them, so I decided I needed to take a break from them. I think I was getting frustrated b/c I wanted to them to capture EVERY SINGLE emotion I was feeling. I know...thats ridiculous! However, I looked at them today and LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!! I can't wait for us to pick out what we want to hang! I am so thankful for our talented photographers (Sarah is contracted by Storybook when she photographs weddings)! I am so thankful for Storybook Wedding Photography! I am so thankful that Ken and our wedding party were so patient with my desire for A LOT of pictures! I am so thankful that we captured so many wonderful details of our wedding day! I am so thankful for my husband!!!! I am so thankful for God's perfect timing and our marraige!
Here are a few pictures:
