Flashback Friday

Does anyone else do the Thankful November thing? You list one thing you're thankful for every day. I did this last year on my Facebook page and I think I'll do it again. It's a wonderful way to put things in your life into perspective. I'll also list what I'm thankful for here on days that I do write.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo? I am and I'm terrified.

Anyone doing No Shave November? I am not.

Old picture time!

Pre-baby, working at the cable company. That's Best friend M on the left and me on the right:

Gibbie at about a month and a half:

Gibbie's first Halloween:

We didn't carve a pumpkin when we lived in an apartment but look at our cute pumpkin family:

Gibbie as Princess Belle for her second Halloween:

Last year at the pumpkin patch:

She was looking at the camera until I told her to smile. I think she was smiling at God:

 We went to the pumpkin patch with my friend A and his incredibly family that I love as my own:

 My happy girl:

Decorating Halloween cookies with The Hubs:

I love Halloween but I have to admit that I'm ready for Christmas. I am that person who gets very excited when shopping in July and find Christmas stuff out already! Gibbie is really into it this year too. We've been watching Reindeer Cam every day, going through the Toy's R Us catalog, talking about Santa. It makes me realize I haven't discussed the real reason for Christmas yet but being a Sunday School teacher I'm sure I will get to it soon!

I might not be back until Monday. Tomorrow my sister that lives here is going to pick up Gibbie and I and drive us to Santa Fe where our sister from Colorado Springs will meet us. We're taking her a puppy that she found online and couldn't live without. We're that crazy. We'll have lunch at a park and let the kid run around then get back in the car and go home.

Happy Friday!
