I'm not too strange am I?

Okay. My friend Tracy tagged me to list eight things strange about me or that you may not know. I guess this is a blogging game, so here we go. ( Alot on Tracy's list was very similar to me!) So, I'll try to come up with some others.

1. I am afraid of the dark.
2. Needles don't bother me when getting shots or giving blood.
3. I LOVE sweets!
4. I rarely answer the door if the doorbell rings. I'm a chicken.
5. I am a huge football fan. Go Cowboys!!!
6. My family teases me about taking makeup and a hairbrush to Six Flags when I was a teenager.
7. I want to end up living on Possum Kingdom lake wake boarding with Luke.
8. I am known to be a winer.

There I am! Now I am suppose to tag others to do the same on their blog, but the only two people I know that blog have already done it!

Also, we have decided to drive home from Thanksgiving. Yes, we are crazy. Juven's parents were going to drive here, but we felt it was way too far for Juven's mom to travel. She has a hard time driving from their house to Fort Worth and we knew we could recover faster. Dont' know if we will be able to make it into the metroplex but I'm pushing for it. We will also be home for Christmas for about 10 days. We are flying for that trip- even thought that is the trip I wanted to drive for. How am I suppose to get Luke's Christmas and birthday presents home??!! Any suggestions other that shipping everything back?

Clouds!

Oh my stars it is overcast and kinda rainy today!!!!! I have never been so happy to see clouds before!! Ever since we got her it has been clear skies and sunshine all day. Not that I don't love sunshine, but I like some cloud cover every now and then. Juven is working his tail end off and havent' seen him in a few days, but hopefully it will pay off. He still loves his new job! I am so thankful for that. We think we have finally sold our house. Big loss but out from underneath it.

I am really looking forward to the holidays and decorating. I wanted to go ahead and start but Juven won't let me. I may do it anyway! I'm even trying to use my crafty side (of which there is little existence). I went to get stuff to make my own Christmas wreath. It was fun, but it took a whole ten minutes. I'm trying!! I need some ideas from my sister! I think Luke and I will try to make a ginder bread house in the next couple of weeks. Never done it before but we will try. Well- I gonna get some more pics of my mom's visit. Miss you all!!

Mom makes it better

Mom just left yesterday after a wonderful visit! It was so nice to have her here and helped tremendously with my homesickness. We picked her up Thursday night and Luke was soo excited! He was so happy to see his Nanny. We took her to Jerome and Sedona on Saturday. I knew she would love it.

I'll have to finish up tomorrow. My battery is out on my laptop!

Lazy days

Hello all! Sorry but no new pictures to share. We have been slugs lately. We stayed in for Halloween. Juven brought home a ton of treats for Luke and we really didn't know where to go. He didn't know the difference so we had a Halloween party of our own. Over the weekend we pretty much did nothing! Still homesick but fighting through it.

How 'bout them Cowboys!!!

The Explorers

Well, this weekend we explored off to a place just outside of Payson Az. It is called Tonto Natural Bridge National Park. And just as the name says it is a natural bride. Soooo beautiful. It is in the pines and a underground river carved out this bridge and made caves we got to climb up in. Even Luke! The rock in the caves was like ice. Very slick especially when wet. We hiked down a long trail with railrode tie steps and the views were amazing. We were suppose to go to a Halloween carnival when we got home but it was too late and we were exhausted. Luke keeps asking for the Halloween party. He is content to wait until Wednesday though. All he really cares about is Halloween cookies.

We will be in Flagstaff next week while Juven trains a new hire and then my mom comes for a visit!!!! I am in need of family!!! My uncle comes the next week and then Juven's partents are coming for Thanksgiving. A few weeks later we then head home for Christmas. I am very excited about all the visits coming up and then getting to head back to Texas! Hope you all are enjoying the nice cool weather as it is still in the upper 90's during the day here. I am dieing for some comfty sweats. Don't know if you can see in this cave pic, but there are people standing on the rocks in the back.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that I changed the settings so you don't have to sign in when leaving a comment. Let me know your lookin! Nice to know you all are enjoying our photos!

More pics

I didn't get to finish yesterday with my new pictures. Hopefully these will do some justice to what it really looked like.

It is still 98 degrees here today and windy. I'm already getting tired of the dirt blowing around, but after what is going on in San Diego I won't complain. We were just there about a month ago. So sad all the destruction. Lets keep all those people in our prayers. Also- we are needing prayers for our house to sell! Love and miss you all!
