My own snowboarding instructor

Today was our first day on the mountain and it was so much fun! I'm finally at the point where I can get myself down the mountain (without swearing or crying) thanks to my personal snowboarding instructor - who also happens to be my wonderful husband!

So Thankful

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had this year! Paul's mom came over to our place for a lovely dinner complete with a smoked turkey (gotta do things Texas style), stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes, and two pies - all for three people! We were full beyond belief with leftovers to last us till next Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for all the blessings in our life.

Mmmmmm....smoked Turkey - I love my Texan!


Finally relaxing with full bellies!

I did it!!

I am not a runner. I have never been a runner. Today however, that may have changed. I FINALLY completed a 5K without stopping! I've always signed up for "runs" as more of a social event than an athletic experience, but I made it my goal to actually run this one...and I did! It was only a 5K but to a non-runner that feels closer to a marathon. Paul was beside me the whole way (even though he can run much faster than me) and I couldn't have done it without him. My next hurdle is going to be to complete the Jingle Bell Run even faster than this one.

17.92

Our flyball team set a new club record today with a 17.92 run! For those of you who don't know flyball, let me give you a quick overview. That would be 17.92 seconds for four dogs to run down a 51 foot lane over four 7 inch jumps, hit off a contraption that ejects a tennis ball, and run back the 51 feet over the four jumps. 17.92 seconds, holy cow! Savage also set his best time ever at 3.87 seconds. We're so proud of our furry, four-legged boy and teammates! (And I'm so proud of Paul for training him to do this so well)


This is the view the other team sees as Savage zooms past...hehe!

So Proud

He is more than a pharmacist. He is an adviser. He is a friend. He is a comedian. He is a shoulder. He is a boss. He is a hard worker. He is my dad.

Pumpkin Carving 2010

Obviously, one of us is a MUCH more talented pumpkin carver...and it's not me! We had a few friends over to carve pumpkins last night and Shavon trumped us all with her Freddie Cruger pumpkin.


Thanks for coming over guys, we had a great time!

Biker Man

After hours of measuring, drilling, and using lots of tools, Paul has his brand new motorcycle bags installed! Look at that happy biker man!
