November Wrap up!

I don't think that November could have held more important stuff for us this year. It was filled with lots of important occasions and most of all, amazing memories!

First of all, Jonathan finally graduated from the Corpus Christi Police Academy in the beginning of November and is now officially a police officer, so all you speeders out there, watch out! He told me that I don't even get a break :)

Next, we had the big 30 for me! I celebrated the evening with a group of close friends at a new place in town called Tipsy Canvas. If you look at the pictures, I would say that we had a pretty great time and I know for sure there was lots of laughter!

Our next big event was the first birthday of Miss Jocelyn! We had about 15 one year olds and their moms over to the house to take lots of pictures (more to come later), watched her pick cautiously at her cake and enjoy time with her friends! I can't believe that she is already ONE! Time is just flying by and she is becoming her own little person and it is so fun to watch!

And then there was Thanksgiving. Jonathan worked until 7am that morning, so most of the day was spent with Jocelyn and I playing outside and letting daddy sleep. But our good friends the Wilders let us join in their amazing feast and even put up with Jocelyn walking around from person to person sharing her toys :) Part 2 was with Regina's in laws who shared with us some great company and fantastic food and also let Jocelyn walk around person to person seeing what was on their plate! We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, it is quite amazing!

What?? Dad ate the last pie of pie???


Okay he was just joking :)

Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day and a large Thank You to all those who are currently serving our country, to all those who have served in the past and especially to those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.
I also want to take this time to extend a thank you all those who often are never thanked but need to be recognized on this day as well, that is the military families! It's the spouse that solely takes on the day to day adventures of running a home, working and keeping themselves and their spouse in good spirits. It is the spouses that are left behind to become "single parents" while their significant other is fighing for our country. It is the parents of the veteran that give unconditional support and often put aside their life to help you with your own, so that you can serve your country. It is also the friends and neighbors that see someone in need, and set aside the needs of their own family for the evening, to help yours.
This year I got to refresh my memory first hand on being in the military full time again, and I know that I could not have done it without a supportive family and friends. Everytime I felt like I didn't know what I was going to do, someone stepped up to help me out. A special thanks to my husband and mom that made sure that my little girl was always filled with love and happiness even when I could not be with her
So thank you again to all the veterans and their families!
