Phew! What a weekend!! John and I LOVED having family and friends attend our first Thanksgiving in our first home together. Thank you to all who traveled to make it here!! It was so great we could all be together. We did miss those who could not attend and were with us in spirit.
John and I enjoyed all the planning aspects and the actual implementation. From shopping for the food to the last time we ran the dishwasher, we had a wonderful time. We had an issue or two with a blow up mattress and a turkey pan that was too large for the oven but I think those were the hiccups of the weekend. The food was tasty and the company was even better. I will mark the event off as a success.
The football game was a great time had by all. Even though the final outcome was not an upset, the Aggies played a great game. I know all the family had a nice time being a part of Aggie game day. John loved working the event at Kyle Field, what an experience.
The dogs had a merry time playing together in the backyard. Poor things only came in to sleep and eat. Otherwise it was an outdoors weekend for them.
Even Santa's Wonderland was an experience with the line, parking shuttle, truck bed passengers and iPhone Christmas music. It was great! Thanks again, can't wait for the next one!!

Denver, CO November 2009
What an amazing trip! John suggested we head up to Denver on a whim, one week before we actually left! I guess he didn't think I would take him up on the offer but we booked the flight, hotel, rent car, etc. within hours and were on our way!
We had such a great time seeing old friends and family. John was able to catch up with some graduate school buddies, see the DU campus and the mountains with snow. :)
What more could he ask for? Aggie football of course!! The Aggie football team played Colorado. Great game at Folsom Field even though the Aggies didn't come out with a win. It was a fun experience to share the Aggie Spirit with some Colorado friends.
We were lucky enough to also spend time with family in Arvada and see a great high school play. Overall, it was a perfect weekend (and a long one at that) and it was just what we needed.

Where does time go?
John and I were thinking this past weekend that we have no idea where 2009 went? I guess with all the happenings going on in our lives, the year pretty much flew by.
Halloween is this weekend. John has a home A&M Football game to work. Thankfully it has a 2:30 PM kick-off so he will be home to enjoy the neighborhood trick or treaters. We found out some out of town friends are headed down to College Station for the weekend. They have a little girl who will be a ballerina for Halloween. We plan on trick or treating with her as well. What fun!
We are eagerly awaiting the Thanksgiving Holiday. Both of us are excited to host the event and we hope everyone has a great time. Can't wait to hear from you all on final travel plans and so forth. Want to make sure your visit is wonderful!!

Aggie Game Day Weekend (A&M vs. Oklahoma State)
Howdy! It is a wet start to Aggie game day here! Lots of rain in the forecast for today. John gets to be at work at 5 AM tomorrow for the 11:30 kick-off. Should be a great game, hope you are watching FSN. You might just see John on the sidelines. :)
John and I participated in the recent National Night Out for our subdivision. We thought it was a nice turnout, plenty of food and friends. No firetruck but that was OK, we had motorcycle cops that the kids seemed to enjoy just the same.
We are doing the 6th Annual Buddy Walk this Sunday. I am really excited for this event. I know John and I will have a great time and support a great cause. Wish us luck!
We are thinking about heading up to the DFW area sometime soon for a Mean Green football game. If we do, we will give you all some heads up so we can plan a get together.
Talk to you all soon!
