So life has certainly moved quickly since I last checked in. The holidays are all past us and they were a blast :)
Halloween was good but rainy in the Houston area. The whole family dressed up - even the Mr! It was the first time in all of our time together (almost 12 years) that he has every dressed up for Halloween. It was so fun to see, even if the kids were scared of his costume - complete black out....
The kids all collected way to much candy and we all ate way to much candy :)
Thanksgiving was also a lot of fun. We travelled to Arkansas to spend it with our families. It's always so nice to see everyone but I always love coming back home to our house, with our things and our bed! While visiting for the holiday, my sister and I were able to squeeze in a couple of runs. The first run was at night and of course it was raining the whole time but it was a lot of fun. We live so far from one another that running together is real treat for the both of us.
The second run was the weekend before we left to come back to Texas and it was a mud run - but it wasn't supposed to be. The temps had dropped and it rained pretty much every day for 5 days before the race. We were covered in mud and froze while waiting for the race to begin - it started almost an hour later than planned.
Christmas - probably my favorite holiday! It was the first Christmas in our new house so I was really trying to find our "theme" and colors that would last and not tire of by next year. I stuck to the basics - red, white, a little green, and brown/burlap texture with a little glitter. I found some great deals on Christmas items at JCP and saved a lot of money :)
My sister was able to come and visit us for Christmas but had to leave on Christmas Eve and I had to work...No running for us even though we both said we would, lol. Sometimes sleep wins.
The best part of Christmas besides having my sister here was that we got a dog! He is a beautiful, 2 year old red bone coonhound. His name is Elliot and he is becoming my new running buddy in the mornings. Unlike most running buddies that you can occasionally flake on, I can't flake on him. He will stand at the bedroom door and cry and bark until I am ready to go.
Our running time is also his first outdoor/potty time of the day - hello dark, and cold Texas mornings :)
Once I have a chance to gather all of our photos, I will post décor pictures and of course Elliot pictures!
