Goodbye Fall

Goodbye Fall, you will be missed.



I Love fall! My fall starts Aug first and lasts until the day after Thanksgiving. I don't care if the weather here in Texas is close to 100 degrees and sometimes over. Heck today is the 2nd day in December and it's 72 degrees outside, but inside my home it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I am behind in my decorating due to a silly injury. This past Wednesday my hubby forgot his cell phone and came back home for it shortly after leaving. I didn't want him to be late so I ran it out to the car as fast as I could, now even though that speed might look like hurtle the turtle it's fast to me as I don't run much anymore.  I use to LOVE to run. any-who on my way back in I somehow pulled a muscle in my calf. I could tolerate the pain but couldn't walk, so I took some ibuprofen and called it a (lazy) day. Thankfully hubby was on Thanksgiving vacation the week before and we got a lot done around the house so I could take it easy. We even painted our Kitchen I have had it Red for years after I fell in love with Kim's kitchen over at The Blog Dear Daisy Cottage. But finally grew tired of it, I choose a color a bit darker than our living room which is sort of a burlap color. I forgot to take before and after photos  but I have one of décor on top of my hutch. What do you think of color.


Now I don't know if I wanted to laugh or cry but I was just feeling back to normal a few days later when the door bell rang and BAM I somehow pulled that same muscle rushing to door. So here I am walking like I'm an old lady- wait a minute?...yeah yeah I know lol

I hope you all had a Very Blessed Thanksgiving. We did. One of the highlights was  :::drumroll:::

Our College Girl was home!

Bella Flew in at Midnight the day before Thanksgiving.
She had a couple Happy coincidence's One was a friend from her Bible group was flying home on same flight And one of her friends since Elementary School ended up on same flight coming from West Point. I worked with his Momma at same elementary school and was also happy for us to get to catch up as well as our kiddos. Such A Happy Coincidence! : )

I've heard of College Kids coming home with loads of laundry, well not my girl.
She came home or rather gave me a list before hand.
 it went like this...
"I can't wait to eat real Mexican food!"
 Momma I want...
Tacos...Beef and Potato Ones
Enchiladas
Pozole
Menudo
Sopa
Rice & Beans.
That's my girl! and she got them all too.

Grandma even made her Pozole and brought it over for her Birthday Dinner. The time flew but we enjoyed every second of it.

I cant forget her chocolate chip cookies- My daughter has taken to calling me Momma Cookie lol
So I made sure to send her back with a couple dozen. I got up at 3am because she had a very early flight on her actual Birthday but was ok with it because she had celebrated with us the day before and a group of her friends from bible study were waiting to take her out and celebrate again. I am so Blessed she met an amazing group of friends.


We also Celebrated our baby boy's Birthday on the 10th of November He turned 15....15!
Bittersweet.
My Little Mouse, My Sunshine, My Adam.

 P.S. does anyone else like to decorate their kids doors for birthdays. I do it every year, it never gets old for me - I am such a dork these things make me happy and I'm always giggling to myself the whole time while trying not to wake them lol.

My son is NOT a fan of taking photos but I managed to beg one out of him at the Farmers Market, can't you tell how thrilled he is lol

 I wanted to share a photo of me and my sister in love. Do you remember the photo from my God Sons Mickey Birthday Party of my Mother In Love with Minnie? Well She's not the only Kid at Heart...
We giggled the whole time.

Thanks for reading.
Love, Row.
