Thanksgiving 2008

I'm on a roll today (still procrastinating at work-ha!). Last week, I went home to visit my family for Thanksgiving. I arrived in the big city of Amarillo on Wednesday evening and was picked up at the airport by my youngest brother, Brent and his fiance, K'Lynne.
They usually pick me up and I love them very much. We then headed to Fritch to see Mom, Dad, and JR - oh and Molly!
On Thanksgiving day we all headed to Wheeler to spend the day at my aunt Karen and uncle Tommy's ranch. It was a good day and was nice seeing all of my cousins and all of the little ones. They are all awesome people! All of the cousins (the group has gotten so much bigger over the years!):
My Mom and Aunts:
My cousin Dustin and his neice Brylea:
My Cousin Stephanie (Sissy) before we got covered in dirt!
And last but not least.....Big Balled Bud!
Big Balled Bud wants to wish you all a Merry Christmas!!!

Houston Trip 11/15-11/17

Well, I started this Blog over a month ago and have not updated it in quite some time! I'm procrastinating at work - so I need to blog about my Houston trip! Three weeks ago I went to Houston to see my long, lost friend - Karen, her daughter - Emma, and Madonna for a 2nd time in 1 week ;-) We had such a great time. It was so good to catch up with Karen after 3 long years! The first evening we met her parents and Emma at Benihana for dinner. Emma is so cute and so grown up - I was amazed! Here is our picture:

Earlier that evening, Karen and I killed some time at a pet store. We played with the cutest dog - a puggle ( cross b/w a pug and a beagle). It was so cute - but I did not have $800 to buy it!!

I'm so glad I got to spend some time with Karen and catch up with her! We had such a great time at the Madonna concert. I'm glad I saw it twice - it was an amzing show. Even though the girl is not the best singer - she can do it live and dance like no other! Enjoy the pics:

Karen and I had dinner and drinks at a sports bar across from Minute Maid park before the show (after we heard Madonna warming up!)

Love ya Karen and Emma!
