No Christmas Pictures

You may have noticed that we don't have any pictures from our families over the holidays posted to the Snapfish site. Randy got me a new memory card reader for Christmas, and I tried to use it on my laptop to post the pictures last night. I don't know how, but I managed to erase them. No Christmas pictures to post! Sorry!

This is the picture we sent out on our Christmas cards. If you didn't get one, that means I don't have your address. I apologize for not getting it before Christmas! Like every other aspect of my life lately, I was really running behind in getting these addressed. As a matter of fact, I believe there is a good number of you all that didn't get yours until after Christmas. Better late than never, right? Anyway, be sure to send me your addresses so I can get you on my list for next year!

And A Very Merry Christmas Was Had By All...

Randy and I have been having Christmas since Thursday. He had his bank party at the bowling alley, to which spouses weren't invited, and I had our Sehon Christmas at my Uncle Frank and Aunt Margaret's house. It was a good time, but I left my camera at home so I didn't get any pictures! Sorry! We took Friday night off, and went to the movies. We saw The Good Shepard with Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie. It was a great movie! Both Randy and I think we need to watch it again, because there was so much "code talk" that we didn't know we missed something until it was too late. On Christmas Eve, my dad and Tracy, Beth and Chad, and Tanner came to our house for a turkey and dressing dinner. I cooked the turkey in my new roaster that I got from Randy for Christmas. It was so juicy! On Monday, we went to Randy's parents for Christmas day. It's always so nice and relaxing to be at the James' house. His sister, Gina, and new brother-in-law, Trey, were in town and we had a good time with them. They currently live in Linden, TX, but will be moving to Athens soon. We won't have a chance to see their house now, but I'm really looking forward to visiting their new diggs! They will be close to Canton, so a shopping we will be! :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Randy and I hope that our friends and family will have a wonderful Christmas! We miss you all! Check back after the holidays for pictures!

Thank goodness Thanksgiving is over...

It was a great time, but Whew! I was tired! My mom's family came to my house again this year. I really love hosting Thanksgiving. It makes me feel good to have everyone there to eat, visit, and enjoy each others company. As Lesa said, "Another successful Thanksgiving!" We did all miss one member of our family this year. Even though it wasn't mentioned, Granny's absence was noticed by everyone. One bright spot: Glen's mom, Grandma Brewer, was able to be in town and spend the holiday with us. It was really good having her with us for the meal. Randy smoked two turkey breasts, and my mom and Aunt Sherry prepared a huge spread of sides to go along with. We had some guests this year from New York. Our friends Andrew and Stephanie came and brought his parents. They graciously brought a real New York cheesecake to help with the dessert table. Wow, now that was fantastic!

Now, let's usher in Christmas! I think that's my favorite holiday of the year. Although I do enjoy getting to spend Thanksgiving with my family, I really enjoy the celebrations that accompany the Christmas season. I love the parties and the festivities and all of the wonderful food that comes along with it. Earlier today I joked that I had to get decorated because I only have 30 days left before Christmas is over. Well, at least it was kind of a joke. It's true! We only have 30 days left to squeeze in all of the Christmas plays, Santa's Workshops, and Christmas light looking we can stand for the next year. I even love the mall at Christmas. Most people can't stand it, but I'm a little different I guess. I like the hustle and bustle of everyone shopping for goodies. I think it's a great atmosphere! Well, can't type any longer...gotta get started! I'm already running behind!

Honey's B-Day was a Success

We didn't have the party afterall. Randy just wanted to go eat at Outback and not be out all night. I think he's getting old! But, it was his birthday and he got to choose. So, we made a reservation for 11 and had our own little party there. Our friend Leslie even brought a birthday cake! It interesting to say the least. Although she is a newbie in the kitchen department, she really did a great job. The cake was decorated like a baseball and she wrote Happy Birthday on it. I for one was proud of her. Great job Leslie!

It's almost Friday!!!

Yeah! It's almost Friday, which happens to be Honey's birthday, and my last day at Home Depot! Everyone should celebrate! :)

Randy finished his jury duty today. Finally. He's been on a federal grand jury since Monday, November 6th. That's nine days of listening to a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo about a poor kid that was paralyzed during a football game and wanted some money from the helmet company because the helmet didn't protect his neck. Does that make any sense to you? Well, long story short, they found the helmet company not guilty. The trial must have stressed him out a little though. One night last week I woke up to Randy handing me a picture and the remote off of the nightstand and telling me (in his sleep!) that it was evidence. Then, night before last, he woke me up at a little after 2am asking me if I "concur". It was insane! Even if he's not glad that trial is over, I am. Now maybe I can get some sleep!

New Jobs!

Most of you already know that Randy has been promoted to being a bank manager. That was effective on October 1st, and he has been doing a terrific job! It's a little different than his previous job making loans, but he's adjusting. He says he's excited, and I'm so excited for him! He's been with Bank of America for seven years and worked his way from a teller in college to the branch president position. I'm so proud of him! :)

Now, just six months after I started working at The Home Depot, I'm changing jobs again. Although I have been in human resources for 4 years, since I graduated, I'm going to switch gears a little bit. I will be working for VistaCare. My position will be business development and community outreach. Basically, I will maintain relationships between VistaCare and the physicians, nurses, hospitals, and clinics that refer their patients to VistaCare for hospice services. I'm not completely sure what my job will entail yet, but my first day is November 20th, and I have a feeling I will have more information then! I really think this is going to be a great move for me!
