What a FABULOUS Thanksgiving holiday/long weekend Ryan and I had. We are beyond Thankful for our families :)
Here goes a supppperrrr long post!
Day 21- I am Thankful for.....Ryan's truck. Although it now sounds like an airplane thanks to his new exhaust he just HAD to have :) I am thankful we can take long road trips & be safe & pack 1/2 our house into it. You know since we were gone for 4 days we needed to pack; hunting gear (deer & duck hunting), clothes, boots, food, pillow, blanket, computers, & ourselves. You name it, we pack it. haha :) I could win an award for over packing, but that is a whole other post! I dont even want to imagine when we have kids. We will just have to pack a whole trailer!!!! ha
Day 22 - THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO thankful that we got to spend the day with Ryan's family! We had so much fun on Thanksgiving! We shot guns, enjoyed being outside, looked at all the Black Friday ads, & just spent quality time together :) o yea and ate AMAZING food!!!!!!!!!
Family Fun on Thanksgiving!
Day 23 - aka Black Friday. (Well I didn't technically do any shopping ON Black Friday. Since all my "Black Friday" shopping was done Thanksgiving night :) Lets call it Grey Thursday. I was home & in bed by midnight Thanksgiving night so I just slept in on Black Friday) Since my hubby & AMAZING MIL (more on her later) had to sleep after working all night, I turned into super crafter - Emily :) I was able to borrow a cricut from Ryan's cousin & I was in heaven :) Once my fabulous hubby rose from his looonngg nap - he FINALLY talked me into going deer hunting with him. We had already talked about it, but Friday afternoon was the final straw & sure enough I found myself sitting in a deer stand freezing. It was so windy & cold. As much as I dislike hunting, my time in the deer stand with my husband was not all that bad. HA
The picture below cracks me up. I am FREEZING & Ryan is mad bc we didnt see any deer bc I was moving too much, too noisey & ready to leave :)
Freezing!
BEAUTIFUL sunset leaving the woods. Love spending time at Ryan's land.
Day 24 - I am SOOOOO thankful for Ryan's Family. I am VERY VERY VERY lucky to have amazing in-laws. From the minute I met his mom & dad I knew Ryan was a keeper :) (they even liked me although I was sweating from being so nervous to meet them OR maybe it was just hot that day) ha His family is SO welcoming, loving & supportive. Ryan's mom & dad treat me so great. I feel so comfortable around them & make myself at home when visiting. I seriously could go on and on. I love spending time with his sister as well :) I wish we lived closer to each other - we would spend even more time together!!! O yea and those 3 kiddos she has - ummm I am obsessed!!!! We love spoiling them rotten & playing!!!! Let's just say I am a crazy Aunt to all my nephews & niece!!! haha Ryan's mom & dad are just awesome, HARDWORKING, amazing in-laws :) THANK YOU guys for loving me so much!!!!!!! Heather & Brian & kiddos - WE LOVE YOU GUYS TOO!!! MISS YOU ALL. Come visit soon :)
Day 25 - I am so thankful for.......the State of Missouri (random I know). But I am SO thankful we can drive all over Missouri & spend time with both of our families. While we ate breakfast with Ryan's mom & dad....we were able to eat a late lunch with my mom, dad, brother, SIL & nephew :) By the time we left the great state of Missouri we had a Christmas tree tied down in the back of Ryan's truck & we were headed back to Arkansas!!!!!
Day 26 - I am soooo thankful for.......FRIENDS! Ok maybe I should make this day its own post (but I can't do that bc then I would be out of order & that would bother me) LOL I am so thankful for friends near & far!!!! From Dallas to St. Louis to Fayetteville to Bentonville to Kansas City to Nixa to Clarksville to Wichita. (ok so that School House Rock song popped into my head about the cities or states) too bad I am a horrible singer & I cant remember the lyrics. But do you know what I am talking about?!?! Anywho - back to friends! THANK YOU girls & guys for being my friend. I know I should call more, text more, email more or send mail, but please know I am so THANKFUL for our friendships :)
Day 27 - Thankful for........Christmas Decorations! I know its still November, but I absolutely LOVE that our house is decorated for Christmas. Our tree is up. Our stockings are hung. Wreath is hung on our front door. And we just need to put up our outside lights :) Have you ever shopped for 4 1/2 hours for outside Christmas lights?!?!? We did on Monday night. I guess our whole town likes LED Warm White Lights! Who knew?!?! O wait - we knew bc EVERY store was out of them :) What a lovely shopping experience with the hubby!
Day 28 - YAY I am finally caught back up :) And tired of typing! I will be back later tonight.
Thank you for reading! All 5 of you :) Have a great rest of the week!
Love,
Emily
