Thanksgiving

Well,

We are currently still hosting guests from out of town. Kansas to be exact and it is going great! We had a sucessful Thanksgiving day and had a lot of fun. Watched the game and in true Haysville style went bowling which was pretty fun!!

Today I am back at work for half a day which is not that exciting, but it is quiet and thats ok with me. Tonight or should i say this evening we are hosting the whole Mills/Balch family for fajitas at our house since they have to head home tomorrow. So, instead of actually going crazy and trying to cook for about 20 I have ordered the fajitas from Tin Star and thats what we are having for dinner, plus some other dishes to go with it.

So, i am going to rush to Target because we are out of coffee and heaven forbid anyone see me in the morning without coffee... and then i am headed home to help straighten up and get ready for the festivities! What a week!! Thank goodness it is Friday though and I will have a day to re-coop.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and when all our our thanksgiving festivities are through I am going to post a bunch of pictures!!!

love you guys!

Cleansing

Okay, so chandler and I started a cleanse this morning and no it is not one where you dont eat. You actually stay on your normal routine, just trying to eat a little more healthy!

ITS FRIDAY=AUSTIN=FUN

This week was pretty normal for us. Nothing really big happened, we just went to work and came home and slept and did it all over again!

This weekend we are going to Austin for a welcome back party for one of our friends Jason. He has been in Thailand for a while teaching and doing mission work and so it is a great reason for all of us to get together and hang out to welcome him back to the states. It should be fun, we are going to his parents new house and just relaxing saturday and sunday!

Not doing too much tonight except getting ready and cleaning a little before we go.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and Cody if you read this... you and Dad have fun at the beer fest tomorrow! We are very jealous.

love you guys and have a great weekend!

Almost FRIDAY

this week has been a very very very busy week for me. the reason it has been so busy is because i have done hair almost every night and havent gotten home til later. so a 7 to 7 or 8 o'clock day is long. i love doing hair so it has been really fun, but just makes a long day. i am really really looking forward to tomorrow just because it is the end of my work week, but saturday morning will come very early because i have a brides hair to do for her portraits and also a brides hair and her maid of honor for her wedding... it is a busy day but i think i am going to be done with it all before 3 in the afternoon! then, chandler and i are doing absolutly nothing except relaxing, having some beverages and watching flip this house, because it is one of my favorite shows... call me lame if you want to... ha ha. anyway, i am almost done with work for today and i am going home and having a glass of wine and watching so you think you can dance with chelsea! yeah boy yeah boy! hope everyone is having a great day!!!! love you guys!

I know i havent written in a LONG time; so here are some pics from our vacation. We went on a house boat trip with some of Chandler's family in Arkansas on Lake Oauchita...it was so peaceful and fun!!! Enjoy the pictures and I will write more later!
