Fall Break!

It has been a while since I have posted anything.  We have been kind of busy the past month!  Needless to say...football has been majority of what we watch during the week.  The past 3 weeks has been lots of fun, while Tech was doing so good.  We won't mention the slaughter from last night!!  It was fun while it lasted!  But...it is not over yet.  Now Kris and I have become A & M and OSU fans!  If they both win....the doors are open again for us!  We usually have some Tech clothing on when we are out, whether it is Kris's hat or my shirt, we get comments.  The Texas fans are actually nice down here!  Now, I'm not sure how  work will go tomorrow, considering I am now the only Tech fan!  I will stand strong!!  

This next week, as you know, is Thanksgiving.  This will be our first Thanksgiving in our new town.  Kris has been on their "slow time" for the past 6-7 weeks.  We have been home for 2 of those weekends!  Kris got to experience a trip to Hershey, PA for work.  It sounded like a lot of fun to me.  They went into New York City for part of a day, and toured a lot of Hershey majority of the time!  He says he wants to take me there some day.  No arguing from me!  He was there for a week, which was forever for the dogs and me!  (He took some great pictures, which I'll share when we get them on our computer, which is new because our other one got a bad virus.  We are now Mac fans!) Kris's work opens officially on Friday for the Christmas season.  We drove by the other night and looked at the lights.  Kris got to walk through it a few times and said it should be cool.  They have over a million lights and some of them dance, to of course my favorite....Trans Siberian Orchestra.  I can't wait to try ice skating!  We will see if as I have aged, if my balance and coordination has aged too!  

Friday was Kris's birthday.  I actually got up early and cooked a real breakfast for him.  I was still full at lunch!  He ended up working a little late, so we had Chick-fil-la for his birthday supper!  He now enjoying himself at a golf course with some guys he works with.  

We bought a new tree for our house last week.  I began decorating last Sunday after my grandparents left.  We had a really nice visit with them...I'm glad it was cold enough for you Gran!!  My Granny has wanted to come see our new house, but with the humidity, she wanted to actually enjoy it, so opted to come when it cooled down.  Luckily for her, a cold front moved through the night before and it was the coldest weekend we have had so far!  Anyway, as I decorated our 7 1/2 foot slim-line tree....we noticed that it looked small/short in our house.  Kris has always wanted a big tree, and now we have a living room that can handle a taller tree.  So, we bought a 9 foot tree.  That tree it freaking tall!  I can't reach the top section when I am standing on the step stool!  Kris had to fluff and apply the top!  We are going to shop for more decorations today!  I'm sure I'll have to use the ladder to decorate it!  Now if you were wondering, we kept our other tree up and even put our 3 foot tree on the bar!  We will have 3 trees in our living area!  I love Christmas!!!!  Next....decorating the outside!!
