UPDATES

Changed my running log up a little bit. Trying to make it look a little better. I've been neglecting this blog over the last month. I'm pretty sure I'll be continuing that. It happens. As technology changes, popularity changes also. Blogger needs to update it's photo uploading. It's pretty irritating to have to load 5 pictures at a time and then rearrange them because they are all out of order. It also adds a line of empty space for every picture loaded (For example: the 15th picture I load also loads 15 lines in between, etc... The 40th picture also loads 40 empty lines.) It takes more time to delete lines and format than it does to type or just give up and load them on facebook.

Anyway, not much going on right now. Our second trip to NY was awesome! We took lots of pictures (stupid blogger). Most of them are on Facebook. Mom loved it! She was bug-eyed the whole trip. I think she was nervous the first night when we walked around at midnight. Wes flew up and stayed with us the last two nights. He went to the Statue of Liberty while I was running the marathon, so on the Saturday that we were there, he slept in and Mom & I went together. We got to see the Rockettes, Wicked, and spent nearly every night at the Rockefeller tree. The Waldorf hotel was amazing! And the limo tour was great! I totally recommend it! Had the Best pizza in the world at John's Pizzeria at Times Square! Here's a picture of us at the tree.

Wes graduated from MSU last month! YEAH!!! Now we're job hunting. Anyone have any ideas or leads?? He has a degree in Business Administration/Accounting. He's pretty much willing to do anything and go anywhere. We're hoping he has something within two months. That'd be nice. Here's a picture from Graduation.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! We sure did. We enjoyed spending time with family and friends all over Mississippi.
On January 21st, I will be donating bone marrow to a stranger. (Refer to previous post) I have to go to Jackson. The Donor Registry will put us up in a hotel and buy our meal the night before.

Please pray that all goes well for Wes' job hunt and whatever comes with it.

Christmas 2009

Here's some pictures from today at Mom & Dad's house. Wes & I woke up early and went to spend the day in Enterprise. (Poor Phoebe was all by herself today... :( )

Dad, uh, that's Luann's christmas present.... :)

Dad made Mom go on a treasure hunt for her gift>... First he gave her a memory card for his camera...

the camera card had a picture of this jug on it... there was a note in the jug but she couldn't get it out....

Then to the gun cabinet....

she then went to her jacket hanging in the closet, which said to put her gloves on because she was going to have to dig in the freezer.... for a while....

then to the mailbox......

it was really cold outside...especially after freezer diving!

Then to Dad's truck...

then to the top of the china cabinet....

On top of the cabinet was a box... She then was given another memory card that had a picture of me on it holding the rest of her gift... a pair of opal earrings and a necklace.

While Mom was roaming around the house, Wes & Dad were installing Wes' new toolbox for his truck...

Luann... wondering where her present is....

Dad carving the wonderful fried turkey... yumm..

Here's our attempts at a nice family photo..... Dad keeps pinching me....

now he's mashing my pinky finger...

now on to Mom.....

Mom's not crying... dad's just pinching her.

this one's better... kind of...

we give up....

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

God Bless!!

Christmas Eve at the Todd's

Had lots of Christmas goodness this year! We went to many Christmas dinners. Luckilly, they were all spread out over a few weeks. It made for a pleasant, non-rushed holiday. Anyway, here are pics from Christmas Eve. We went to Wes' aunt Patsy's house for Christmas with the Seales.

Before we left Nashville, we went to the Opry hotel to walk around and look at the Christmas decorations. We tried to go on Saturday night, but there was 2 miles of traffic backed up on the interstate... We got there on Sunday before church let out... Much better.

We also walked over to the Opry Mills mall and did a little shopping... I saw this fancy new coke machine... It had the Blue Screen of Death!! Too bad they used Windows... Thought it was funny!
