The Holidays are rolling right on in and I am loving every minute of it. I am excited that my favorite time of the year leads right on in to my move to Durham.
Sure, It makes things more difficult, but I'm excited none the less.
Thanksgiving has come and gone and I am glad I got to spend some time with the family.
Baby Sloan was being as cute as ever!

...and the food was as good as ever!
Round #1
After a ginormous meal, we all watched the ending of the Cowboys game.
It was a close one (shockingly).
The Boys haven't been doing well this season and we were up against the Saints (last year's SuperBowl Champs).
We turned it around in the end, but it wasn't good enough.
We were in the lead for just a little bit =)
proof!
Before Thanksgiving rolled around, we celebrated my Dad's Birthday. We ate at Joe T. Garcia's.
Followed by a yummy cake.
After Thanksgiving, we celebrated my Mom's Birthday. We ate at the Keg and had yummy steaks. Following lunch, we saw Due Date at the movies.
I can say that I have been thoroughly enjoying the Blue Devils kick some tail this season.
My Team (so proud) is 7-0 as of tonight!!!
It has even brought the pets closer:
(this is not normal)
We walked in during halftime and these two rugrats were snuggled under the tree!
This is just about the cutest thing.
I think they may suspect that they will be separated next month. Alley(cat) will be heading to Durham with me.
I have received the rest of my textbooks and now I am just waiting on software that we will be using on our iphones(or other PDA devices).
My couches, living room table, and mattress have been ordered. They will be waiting for us when we arrive in Durham.
My headboard arrived here today. The shipping was unpredictable so we decided to go ahead and have it shipped here. It will fit in the relo-cube we will have shipped to Durham on December 28th.
It turns out the Ashley's in NC does not carry the kitchen table I want and I don't have one that I like picked out yet.
I have ordered so much online that it is almost like Christmas everyday. You never know what will come each day.
I have also taken advantage of a free month of Netflix. I'm trying it out so I can save money on cable (premium channels). So far, I like it!
I've been able to spend time with friends these past couple of days and I have loved it. Each phase of life is so different. I remember the days of high school when it was just expected that all of us would get together each weekend. After each football game/band contest, we would spend the night at someone's house and spend the next day together. We were always together. Someone was always around. Then came college. Some moved, some stayed. We were all more independent and had our own lives to focus on (college).
Now, it is a longer and longer period in between seeing each of my precious friends....and I'm okay with that.
A true friend is someone who will stick by you. You don't have to constantly be around them to know they are there with you in spirit. A true friend is someone you can go days/months without seeing and when you see each other...you go right back to where you last saw each other.
I'm going to miss each one of them all in different ways while I am gone.
Look at me on the brink of being sappy.
That's as much sap you will get tonight.
Goodnight
