Living the Good Life

I live such a blessed life. We had a wonderful (and productive) Thanksgiving weekend. During the course of my time off, I decorated the tree and house for Christmas, celebrated Thanksgiving twice (once at the Luthers and once at my mom's), went Black Friday shopping, and went to the Titans game.

I always decorate for the holidays before Thanksgiving day because otherwise I would not have enough time to do it...plus I like to enjoy the decorations for as long as possible. So, Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, I completed the decorating task. Wednesday, Kyle and I went to the Thanksgiving feast at The Red Barn for lunch. It was so much fun! I really enjoyed watching Kathryn play with her friends...so sweet. And, I just need to add that we LOVE The Red Barn. Kathryn's teachers are awesome. Wednesday afternoon, we headed to the Luthers for Thanksgiving dinner. As always, the food was great. This year was definitely the best Thanksgiving there yet...it was just the family and it was really nice spending time with family.

Thursday, we went back to the Luthers for Thanksgiving breakfast, then headed to Hoptown to spend the day at my mom's. Again, another great Thanksgiving meal. It was so much fun having my brothers and sister in town. We always have a blast being all together.

Friday, my sister, mom, and mother in law ventured out for some shopping. We went to Cool Springs. We got there early and took advantage of all the extra savings. I bought lots of things and even managed to buy a few gifts for others ;).

Saturday, we spent the day in Hoptown with my family. Since we don't get to see them as often, I wanted to spend as much time with everyone as possible. We spent the day watching football and eating leftovers...YUMMY!

Sunday, we went to the Titans game. All I can say is WOW, WHAT A GAME! And, we had awesome seats...50 yard line, 10 rows from the field behind the Cardinals. By the time the game was over, the fans around us were chanting "Mary's driving." Long story, but definitely a memory I will never forget (Thank you Rob and Ben). All in all, we had another wonderful weekend. I live a very enriched life...wonderful husband, family, and friends.
