MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

It's been a short but long holiday season so far. I am honestly ready for it to be over. Maybe it's because I am not suffering from the infamous "crud" that everyone else in the family had. I really thought it was going to miss me, and yesterday morning - BAM! I have more Mucinex, psuedafed and Delsym in me than any one person should be allowed. But today is already better - Now I have a runny nose, but this handy little Vick's inhaler is working on that.

I'll be posting pictures of the Patranella Christmas soon, no time today - I am cooking for part of Dave's family. Paula and Todd and Danielle are coming over with their kids. It will be fun. I've got the turkey on (it's my first time to cook one of those) and everything else is ready on my part - Paula is in charge of all potatoes.

I'm going to go rest now.

Have a Blessed Christmas Day.

The President has come and gone, all in a span of 2 hours!

Wow, 3 posts in 3 days. I will need a vacation after this!

Well, the President of the United States was in Aggieland today. Marine 1 flew right over our building. While we didn't have a chance to get good pictures, my coworker's husband had a great view from his office window. He didn't know that they would be landing right outside his office, but it was a great surprise. Here are some pictures he was able to get. He sent a cute note apologizing for the fuzzy pictures - They wre taken through the window as he didn't think it was a good day to try to tgo to the roof!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY!

Four years ago, I said "I DO."

Some days it seems like yesterday, some days it seems like forever ago. However, everyday is a new adventure.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

WOW! We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. It was cold and snowing!

After a day of chilly weather, it started snowing AGAIN! About 3:00 we were watching it through the windows at work. It hasn't stopped yet. It's not sticking to the roadways, but the yards look amazing! Here are some great pictures and a video of our December Winter Wonderland

Where did November go????

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. Was I busy, or did time just get away from me? Probably a little of both.

Work was crazy. People were out for various reasons and there were lots of proposals to mail.

We did have some fun - Went to Ren Fest, saw some good shows. It's just not my favorite place in the world, so if I don't go next year, my feelings won't be hurt.

Thanksgiving was nice - Shopping on Black Friday was better!

Dave gave me my Anniversary/Christmas gift early - I got a Wii!!! However, it's still not hooked up. Dave was sick on Thanksgiving, he's just now over it.

We did get our blow-up yard art out yesterday, there is more in the attic, we just haven't crawled up there to get it down! Maybe I will work on that this afternoon - then again, maybe not.

This past weekend we went to Houston for an early anniversary get-away. I've been wanting to take Dave to Dave & Busters! He did have fun, and the food was good. We then had a sweet deal at a hotel in Katy - With the stay, we got a $10 gas card and a $50 gift card to the Katy Mills Mall. SWEET!!!! Did some shopping, ate at the Rainforest Cafe - It was fun - The kids would love going there!

OK, I need to get - I'll do better at updating in December.
