So what did y'all do for Turkey Day?

So... I don't know what y'all all did for Thanksgiving(and yes i just used 'y'all all'), but (after we ate and watched a movie) my family took some pictures(with our photographer Emma and her made self-timer skills) for our Christmas Card. For some of you, one of these will be coming to you soon!












(ps-I felt like Rob Bell with all my ( ). and i don't know if you have ever read anything by Rob Bell, but he is the King of endnotes and parentheses.)

It's already November 7th???

I feel like my time here is flying by! I am almost half way through with my 9 month term. GREAT NEWS though. I hopefully will be going overseas for a couple to three years to learn about another language, live and learn in another culture, and possibly teach some. I am still in the process so be thinking about me.

In the last 3 months:

3 and a half weddings (the half is that I sent a gift and I still have one more in december!)

5 engagements (one more to come!)

one person profess their undying love for me then threaten to 'denounce their undying love for me' (the key word is undying...)

just this week, i have been asked out by three of the young men here... (and yes, i had to turn them down very politely)

4 funerals (one was actual family. My wonderful GG, great-grandma, past away at the beautiful age of 92 leaving behind 1 daughter(my grandma), 9 grandkids(my mom is one of those), 22 great-grandkids, and 5 great-great-grandkids. wow. just wow.)

two homecomings - Tech and McNeese

Traveled to way to many places

readjusted my mindset to only being a couple hours from Baton Rouge and not 5 hours. Seriously... it makes a HUGE difference.

Have fallen in love with the girls on leadership.

Continued my famous friendship with Scuba, Caroline, and Timothy

and

seen my family a lot more than I thought I would which is so wonderfully refreshing. Except Emma because she is way to busy. but if you haven't noticed...
I absolutely LOVE my family.
