Reason number 1245001

This little guy needs a home before Christmas and I want him so bad!! I already have a name for little "Buttermilk". Reason number 1245001 that I want a house. With a yard. So he can run. Patience is a virtue or so they say. I can wait for Mr. Buttermilk.

Tradition

So, most of you know I graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos (Formally knows as Southwest Texas State University..which I am reminded of every single time someone asks me where I went to college). If you know anything about the good ol' eat 'em up cats you know that that means we cheer for the Longhorns of the University of Texas in Austin. This is one of the main traditions I remember having, since I grew up in a home with parents who went to college at formally called Southwest Texas State University. Cool. I know. When I first started attending classes there in the spring of 2003 (I survived one semester at SFA and decided that Bobcats are WAY cooler than Lumberjacks) it was perfectly normal for freshman-seniors to wear Longhorn apparel to every class and skip bobcat games in hopes that one of their super top 10%er high school friends would have a student pass to the longhorn game..thank you very much Aaron Colyer. So you can only guess what my highlight of turkey day is :) Hook 'em Horns.

A much newer tradition (now that I am married) is that we have thanksgiving dinner (lunch) with Kyle's pretty much whole family in Buda at my inlaws. I LOVE this tradition because of Carol's award winning coffee bar with every creamer you can dream of. It's true. Tomorrow afternoon we will head to my dads, sit down with my bobcat dad, and cheer for UT like we are kin to Colt McCoy, and LOVE IT!!

Eat 'em up! Hook 'em! Happy thanksgiving! I am looking forward to many new traditions along the way. I think next year we should all do the Turkey Trot.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TRADITIONS!?

Just Wait a Second.. or two

We prayed. We must wait. We would love to be in a house now but we want to be debt free even more than that! Just have to keep our eyes on the goal in front of us. Thank you all for praying for us. I think that waiting will give us an opportunity for an even better home!! Happy thanksgiving week!

Elm Grove

Nothing is final but we talked with Christine of Elm Grove in Buda today and will be making our decision on whether to move there in the next few days. Please pray for us as we begin making these important decisions. We are excited!! This is the Buckthorn and we love it!

Clouds

Yes I did. I did accept the cloud app on Facebook and I thought it was really neat. It generates a cloud of your most common status updates. I think this cloud describes me pretty well. I intend to update you about Women of Faith and other happenings soon! Isn't this weather just great?

Wordless Wednesday

Today Only..

Meagan Hogg inspired me with her entry today! I just ordered these Pottery Barn stockings! Mine is red and Kyle's is green! SO EXCITED! Today only, Pottery Barn is offering free monogramming and for a limited time free shipping on Christmas decor. Merry Christmas!

Week Two Complete

This is my Insanity by Beachbody coach, Shaun T. I just think he's great! He says things like, "I'm right here wit you" "Dig Deeper" "Let's GO" and I'm loving the program. Each workout leaves me energized and for the first time in a long time I am excited about working out and can't wait to begin week 3. I have now lost 5 pounds and several inches all over (measurements are tomorrow). If you are interested in ordering and completing Insanity please let me know because I have a friend who is a Beachbody coach and she would be happy to help you! Here are her hard working results after completing:

P90X®

ChaLEAN Extreme®

10-Minute Trainer®

One on One with Tony Horton

Rockin' Body®

She went from 220 pounds to 136 with Beachbody. Charline is a true inspiration to me.

More Proof

I really do need one of those cameras :)

I Need This

I am convinced that the SAMSUNG DualView TL225 was invented just for me..Or people like me! Christmas present maybe? I. Think.So!!







and..I might change my hair a little too much :)

Los Cucos

I will be speaking tonight at 7:00 PM at Los Cucos in New Braunfels. I would love to have you there. Also, my husband Kyle just launched our new team website so click here to see all of our upcoming events. We are excited to announce that our team has had the biggest 5 days ever! If you plan on coming to Los Cucos tonight please arrive by 6:45 to ensure a seat.

Have a great Thursday

Live Like We’re Dying
Kris Allen

Sometime we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Til it’s too late, it’s not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would’ve done

Yeah… gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin’ it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying

Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there’ll be no one on the line

Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s ticking
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying

You never know a good thing until it’s gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we’re dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it’s gone

Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
