Over the weekend (11/20-21), we traveled to Dallas to spend some time with Tanner and his girlfriend Jessica who had been visiting for the week from North Carolina. My dad thought since everyone was home for the weekend and since Jed, Keller, and I are spending Turkey Day with Jed's family this year, we would have an early Thanksgiving on Saturday. Oh what a feast it was. The worst part is Keller did some pretty fun things at the dinner table but we were all too busy devouring the yummy goodness that we didn't stop to take pictures of him. Darn! After our meal, the city of Southlake was having a tree lighting festival in the Town Square. There was an orchestra playing Christmas music, all kinds of activites for kids to do, store were open late to shop, and there was even hot chocolate (though we didn't need it because it was 70 degrees outside!). Children's Medical Center was even handing out foam reindeer antlers for people to wear, and well....why not? Of course...
Life is wonderful. Life is messy. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's no so great. Thoughts on life from a wife, a mom, a teacher, a woman who tries to keep it all together.
