Thanksgiving..A Change

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends! I, like everyone else, probably ate too much. I am looking forward to the leftovers today..anybody with me?

My Thanksgiving this year took a little turn and at the last minute (literally the day before) I was going to be hosting in my home! My grandmother had to go into the hospital and my mom left to be with her. Honestly, we were worried that it wasn't going to turn out well, but God is good people! We started praying for her and her sudden surgery and she came through it great! The doctor released her the very next afternoon (i know) and she was able to be with her all children and some other family for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Praise you Lord!

I missed my momma being here and hosting and cooking but God wanted her to be with her mom this Thanksgiving! He always knows doesn't he, and continues to amaze me with his provision and his timing!

I am so thankful every day and every year for the many blessings that he bestows on my family but this year I am so ever thankful that my grandma got to be with her family this year.


Meanwhile back at the ranch (not really):

All the food turned out great and my inlaws joined US for a change this year. My brother in law and sister in law were not able to get here so we invited them for one big Thanksgiving..why not were doing "change" this year!! I love them so much and was so thankful to have them at our table giving thanks.

And lastly I am so thankful for you my friends and for all the blessings you bring to my life sometimes even in the midst of "change"!

Last minute set up for a Thanksgiving meal

My daughter with her fiance, my dad, my sis in law and niece

My hubby and me (yes I have the tree up already)

Thankful!!

I think I may go out this afternoon and brave this crazy shopping day..anybody with me??

I Feel a Wedding Coming On

My daughter and I spent yesterday trying on her wedding dress and doing some shopping together! I love spending time with her and with her busy schedule (work and school) it's a rare thing lately.

The dress fit like a glove and she looked amazing in it!

I sometimes have to pinch myself, it seems like yesterday she was just a little girl  (I know she will always be my little girl) but WOW where does the time go??  I have enjoyed dreaming about this day with her and hope to make it so very special! I love you sweet girl, and God could have not picked a more perfect person for you to spend your life with.

I look forward to preparing for your special day and making some great memories along the way! So proud to be your momma!!

These are not the shoes, but the right color! Of course they would be PINK!

Still deciding on the headpiece??

This picture brings tears to my eyes!!  I am in trouble aren't I?? (Crying)

I Love You!!!!!!

The Barn Show

Wow, that was a fun and exciting weekend! I met so many fun new people and even a couple new bloggers. It was so busy on Saturday morning and a little chilly..brrr! I had a great spot all cozied up in the corner of the barn so I missed the rain and wind that decided to make an appearance the night before.

I had a chance to take a few pics of my booth before the sale started but after the doors opened it got a little busy! I wish I had taken a few more but there was a professional photographer there snapping photos so when I get some other pics I will post them.

I did really well as a vendor this year and did not bring too many things home. Yeah!!! I have reserved my space for next year and look forward to meeting more new people and preparing for some new things. Thanks to Suzanne and Tracy for all your hard work! It really paid off and it showed!! 


Put it on your calendar for next year, always the 2nd Saturday in November and plan a day with the girls!

Blessings!
