Time goes too fast sometimes...

Sometimes life goes too fast... things just keep moving forward and before you know it, several months have passed and leave you wondering where all the time has gone?

Work is busy as ever and just as it should be slowing down as we enter the holidays, no such luck. We are busy busy.... I was back in Ann Arbor Michigan in mid November for some more training and will be in Dublin Ohio the second week of December for my third and final class.

There just seems to be so much to write about... the boys are doing well... both in tutoring as we try to help them be as successful as they possibly can be. Trenton is just starting and Ryan is about 2 months in.... we are hopeful that it will make school easier and therefore more enjoyable for each of them.

Trenton is getting taller and taller... definitely did not take after me in that aspect, but he is skinny just like I always was at that age... that trait I do believe he got from me. We are back in slims for the first time since he was 8... 27x29 jeans so you find Levi's (boys 18 slim 27x29) anywhere, please let me know... lol.. he likes the 569 which I find at Penneys...

Ryan is fairly tall for his age, but thick... he is just starting wrestling and hopefully that will keep him active and let him slim down just a bit... he is probably only about 30 pounds lighter than Trenton... and there is a little over a 5 year age difference... hahaha!

Chris and Nora surprised me last night with tickets to go see The Phantom of the Opera. It was a wonderful show and is something that Nora and I have loved since we were in high school. It was so special to get to see it with her and enjoy a fancy double date night out!!!!

Chris and I braved the crowds today to get some shopping done, though mainly for entertainment purposes. If you go to find specific things, its not worth it. If you go with the mindset that you are just going to see if you get lucky and come across any deals, then it is totally worth it!!! You can stumble upon some good things and I found me a couple of cute new sweaters. I did get distressed when they didn't have a pair of shoes I wanted in my size anywhere in the state of North Carolina... can you believe it? Crazy I tell ya...

On the wedding front though, we did manage to pick up our invitations that we wanted at 50% off and also went and looked at wedding bands. We have less than 6 months to go and things are coming together pretty nicely... still working on the cake lady and also the flower lady/florist... but all in all.. coming together nicely....

All in all, Chris and I have had a wonderful 2 days... we enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch with my parents yesterday and then went by my aunt's house to see aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma... it was a short but sweet trip and always nice to see the extended family as well.

Looking forward to all the upcoming Christmas festivites and getting the house ready for decorating.... lots to do tomorrow to start preparing, starting with gretting all the stuff down out of the attic....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!!!
