Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family here in San Antonio...  We have so much to be thankful for this year (especially my dad's health)!!! 

The weather has turned cold (30's at night and 70's in the day) and it has really put us in the Christmas spirit.   We already have our decor up for Christmas ) -- above are pictures of our decorations and our new drapes -- installed just in time for the holidays.  :  )

We took advantage of Black Friday this year -- Dustin was eager to participate since he wasn't having to prepare for finals (THANK GOODNESS!).  We all got up at 5 am and hit the shops at The Rim and La Cantera -- and then had lunch with The Burkholder's at our newly opened Z Tejas....mmmm LOVE SAN ANTONIO!  It's finally feeling like home... 

Official & Licensed!

Dustin passed the bar exam!  He was sworn in, Sunday, November 7th in the Hockley County Courthouse.  It was a very special day.  Judge Phelan swore him in, in front of our families and our friends, The Burkholders from San Antonio.  :  ) 

We're very blessed!

We are alive!

We have been blowing and going, but we are so happy that November is here.  November for me, means I get a week off for Thanksgiving.... the thought of that makes everything better.  We had a fun October!  We had a Halloween Party and Dustin and I were "Lincoln Logs."  He dressed up as "Abe" and I had a shirt of "logs," (math problems).  Tomorrow night we are having a "Wear your Red Jeans," party in celebration of Election Day.  We said no "blue" jeans allowed, since we are hoping that the red (Republicans) take over in the House and Senate.  But I will GLADLY WELCOME A BLUE GOVERNOR!  We've been busy, but this has kept our mind off of the bar exam results that come out this Thursday and it has certainly helped pass the time.  We have such great friends for support; we are very lucky.  :  )
