Give Thanks!

November 2011

The entire month of November was crazy busy.
We literally had something or somewhere to be evey single weekend, but we give thanks for each of these amazing opportunities and loved every minute!!

11.3.11-11.6.11
Puerto Morales, Mexico



Zack and I got to get away for a few days and went to Mexico to enjoy a little rest and relaxation!! We soaked up some sun and enjoyed some poolside cocktails and great food. We also spent some time shopping in Playa Del Carmen and enjoyed a day being pampered at the spa! We definitely gave thanks for the opportunity for the two of us to spend some "adult" time together and appreciate my mom staying with Ethan while we were gone.

Rock N Roll San Antonio Half Marathon



I ran my 6th Half Marathon in San Antonio on Nov. 13th in the Rock N Roll Series. This is a picture of some of the amazing women that I've been blessed to enjoy numerous miles with!!



I was also very thankful to have a great spectator group for this race. Ethan, my Mom, Dad, and Grandma all came out to cheer me on, and their smiling faces were a joy to see at the finish line!


11.18.11-11.20.11
Lubbock, Texas

This was a fun weekend packed with many events for which we are thankful!
Our dear friends Ty & Ashley Hamm are expecting their first baby and we were very excited to be able to attend their "Reveal" party, where they and all of the guest found out that their new babies is going to be a GIRL!



Clay and Marcy hosted our Erwin Thanksgiving this weekend and we enjoyed a wonderful meal and our tradition of each sharing what we are thankful for. We give many thanks for our newest Erwin and her first Thanksgiving with us!!



On Sunday we gave thanks and celebrated Addison's baptism. We were so happy to be apart of this special day and look forward to sharing God's love with this precious little one!



11.24.11 - 11.27.11
"Greater San Antonio Area"

The Thanksgiving weekends was spent in the "Greater San Antonio" area with my family. We shared Thanksgiving day at my Uncle Ralph and Aunt Kim's in Spring Branch. The house was FULL of all my aunt, uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins, family friends, and pets!
Ethan loved playing with all of his "cousins" (my cousin's kids) and they ran and played like wild Indians for most of the afternoon. We finally got them to come inside and calm down to watch a movie on Aunt Kim's big bed.



While the kids were occupied watching the movie and most of the guys were busy watching the last A&M vs Texas game, my mom, aunts, cousins, and myself were strategically planning our Black Friday shopping spree!!



We don't take this lightly!! Mom and I headed out at 10pm on Thursday night and wrapped it up at about 6am Friday morning. What can I say it's a tradition!!

I GIVE THANKS for all of this and MORE!!!
