I'm Baaaaaaack!

Hello all! So I couldn't stay away from blogging that long...so sue me. If you haven't quit blogging at least once in your blogging lifetime, you will! But I do have to admit, it's fun and just a little addicting. So I've had my little hissy fit and now I'm back for good after a very brief hiatus.


My love and I Thanksgiving morning!

On to the fun stuff.... Rhett and I are in the process of buying our first house! We are both so very excited, but also very stressed. This house buying business is no joke. We know which house we want, and we're in the beginning processes of actually buying it. Once we buy it, then the construction begins!! See, the house isn't actually built yet...it's one of those build as you buy things. But that's great for us because we can decide all the colors and such. Anywho, the house won't actually be done until around April, but Rhett and I are sooooooo excited. This is the first of many small steps towards building mine and Rhett's future together.
Now onto Thanksgiving, because god knows I will mention the house building process more than a few times in this blog!! I know everyone will get tired of hearing about it, but that's okay because I can also recognize the fact that this is MY house and although I'm thrilled to death about it, I know everyone else could care less.
So Thanksgiving....was great! Rhett cooked his very first trash can turkey!! Sounds gross, but trash can turkey is where you smoke a turkey using an aluminum trash can (of course, we use a trash can that's never been used). Rhett's turkey was a success!! It was sooo yummy and moist! We took it over to Rhett's parent's house where we had our first Thanksgiving meal of the day. Everyone in Rhett's family is very sweet, but they are a football lovin' crowd so they weren't very happy when I changed the channel from the Dallas Cowboys football game to the National Championship Dog Show!! HA HA HA!! Oh well, I'll have to work on them. After we finished at Rhett's parent's house, we headed over to my dad's girlfriend's (Tamera) house for our second and last Thanksgiving meal of the day! Rhett and I had alot of fun. The food was yummy and after dinner we played alot of fun games. Rhett and I got our first taste of Virtual Bowling!! We weren't too bad, but in the finals Tamera beat Rhett. After bowling, we played Virtual Baseball we're the girls surprisingly kicked the boys butts!!! Big, bad Rhett couldn't even hit the baseball!! After the virtual games, we played BalderDash we're my dad cracked everyone up with his answers! All in all, Thanksgiving was so much fun! I just love my family and I am thankful for all their support.

Aubbie, smoking it up!

Over the weekend, I also came to realize that I have another favorite show that I love to watch!! Meerkat Manor!! I am obsessed with watching that show. Weird, I know. It's fun and so dramatic!! There was a Meerkat Manor Marathon on Animal Planet all day Friday and I couldn't peel my eyes away from the TV! Anywho, I was also thinking about the concept of gossiping. I mean really, yes gossiping is bad, but could you imagine not gossiping and only having yourself to talk about?? How boring would that be? I guess I'm one of those people that doesn't like the whole stoking your own ego thing. Oh well, just food for thought!! Have a great week everyone!!
