Soooooo...I am actually trying the whole blog-scene. We tried MySpace and I'm about ready to delete my profile there. Then we talked about doing a web page but Chris codes by day so I didn't want him to code by night too. So, for now, we'll try the good old blogger.
The latest Crack team update? We had an awesome Thanksgiving! I should note here that our first married Thanksgiving will be remembered for our flight booked for a week after we needed it. We ended up being able to get to KY by plane but had to rent a car and drive home which with traffic took us exactly 24 hours. That's a long time to be in the car, especially when you weren't signed up for a roadtrip. So, while anything could beat last year, I also think it will be really hard to beat this year.
We spent half in beautiful Kentucky with Chris's Mom and the Farr side (not to be confused with Far Side) of the family. A highlight was the annual family football game. It was the hardest earned 0-0 game in my sport playing history. Charlotte and I even think we bruised our ribs when we ran smack into each other! We were able to squeeze in a dinner with Kevin and Kira and a quick stop by with Jeff and Jaime. It's always a blessing for us to be able to catch up with old friends. We also enjoyed a walk with Chris's Mom down a fall colored lane with the traditional white horse fences(picture inset). It's exactly what a two-season Texas bred girl daydreams Fall to be like. I guess fairy tales do come true!
The other half was spent in Houston with the McNally's and my mom's sister Terri and family. My cousins Elle and Cassie are at the perfect teeny bopper age that allows me to relish in the "remember whens." They are going to be successful women soon enough! We saw Enchanted and it was funny! I recommend it for anyone who has seen a Disney movie in their life. They intelligently incorporated some old movie throw backs. I LOVE it. If you're not savvy enough to catch them yourself check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_%282007_film%29 in the References to Disney Films section for the list of things to look for. We also enjoyed fabulous food and sleeping in. We even hit the mall on black Friday - partially because that is where the theater is but it's all the same to this shopping fanatic.
Needless to say it's been hard to come back to reality. We really had a great Thanksgiving.
We pray that yours was as full and filling as ours!
