Master Holly

Since I'm dedicating blogs; today's goes to my great sister Holly. She received her MA today! This is an amazing accomplishment concidering all of the other things she did while completing it. I wish I could be there to give her a big hug when she walks off that stage. I can't wait to congratulate her in person! So here's to you Holly; I am so proud of you sister! Your amazing determination to go for your goal and work till you get it done is something I greatly admire about you. I can't wait to see what you do next!

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

December 14th my Mom & Dad got married. They have been together for 32 years. So to congratulate them on their commitment to each other I want to dedicate today's blog to them. I want to thank you both for being excellent examples of how to make a marriage work. Thank you for showing us how to work through difficult situations and how to enjoy the good times. Thank you for commiting to raising us kids together and giving us a stable home to grow up in. I know this took lots of sacrifices. Thank you for showing me how to be a good person and stand up for my faith. Thank you for supporting me and always encouraging me to be the best person I can be. You are an awesome couple and I love you both!

Well, people it's time for another entry. I always feel like I should only write when I have something extremely important to say. But if I only went by that rule I would never write. I guess I'll talk about this weekend. Mom & Dad came up and babysat while brad and I went to a Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds concert. Very good! I always have a ton of fun when we go see Dave. Mom and Dad stayed for the weekend. We had fun hanging out, eating, and just enjoying each others company. All this fun has made me even more excited for our Christmas celebrations!

Christmas tree

I wish I could post a picture of our Christmas tree this year because it is very pretty. Decorating the tree has always been fun for me. I always love to get out the ornaments and remember past Christmases. Brad got a new ornament every year from his Maw Maw so every time we put them on the tree I feel like I get to know brad a little better. His Maw Maw tried to buy ornaments that showed what he liked at the time. I think that is a great tradition. Bethany's MiMi gave her an ornament this year. I hope this tradition continues so that when she is all grown up she will have many memories of all her Christmases.
