Colorado State vs. SDSU

Jenny, Feliza, and I thought it would be fun to get together and head to an SDSU game. Usually, I would cheer for SDSU along with them, but they happened to be playing Colorado State tonight, so Joe and I had to root for our own team! After a pizza dinner and drinks before the game, we headed to the stadium. It was pouring down rain, but Jenny was our hero and had purchased covered seats!


We tried not to gloat, but CSU stomped SDSU...I just don't think those San Diego players know what to do in wet weather! We had a great time. ;)  We stopped for some delicious Peterson's donuts on the way home!

Black Friday...or Thursday...

Zoe wanted to head out for Black Friday shopping again this year. Since she still isn't able to drive her friends, or drive that late, I took them out.  The stores all opened early. We headed to the mall about 9:00 and it was packed! I stood in lines while the girls shopped. They found some cute things and got some pretty good deals.

We got home before midnight...so technically we did Black Thursday. I was just happy to spend time with these fun girls!

Thanksgiving 2016

Although Thanksgiving is a lot of work, I love having family here and just spending time together. We had a pretty small group this year but it was a nice day.

 Zoe and her dog...
 These kids and their phones...

 Jeff and Cathy were showing us some properties they're looking at in Tennessee...
 Cousins...
 Let the food rush begin....

 Lots of love at this table!
 Time for dessert!

Although life can be filled with challenges and hard times, days like today help us to remember the many blessings we have. I am so thankful for the family that I came from, and the family I helped to create. Happy Thanksgiving!

God's Gifts...

The skies have been beautiful lately! I'm always up before sunrise, and with the sun going down so early this time of year, I try to be out walking for sunset when I can. I always imagine that it's God's way of reminding us how blessed we are! I can't help snapping quick pictures when I'm out.




 This was one of the most gorgeous sunset skies I've ever seen!

Birthday reunion!

We had so much fun getting together with some old high school friends in September, that we were ready to do it again! Nori decided to fly down for her birthday and we planned another get together. Christy joined us for dinner, but had to be in for an early night. The rest of us finished dinner and drinks, and headed to a couple of local bars.

(Sharon, Nori, Daynon, Mich, Me, Devon)
 We laughed, reminisced, drank, and danced.

We did a late night drive-thru, got a bit crazy, but had a ton of fun! I'm so happy to have reconnected with these guys.

Fun with Friends!

Nori and Dave brought the girls down for a vacation to Universal Studios and Disneyland for a few days. Zoe and I couldn't wait to meet them for dinner and catch up.

These girls have missed each other. Zoe misses her nap buddy Natalie!! It was fun to hang out and I always love spending time with Nori and Dave too.
