Whoops

Ok so... I have been a procrastinator my entire life... And my "30 days of blessings" proves I still am one. I promise to do a post that completes my 24 days I missed. Preston, please don't adopt this quality from me!

Anyways...

The past three weeks have been a little nuts around here, but have been fantastic. Chip and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at Horseshoe Bay which was incredible. It was two full days of golf, spa services, and great food; not to mention some incredible sleep as well. We also decided that Austin is a place we would both love to retire. It's absolutely gorgeous. Of corse the only picture we took the whole time was a mirror picture (lame, I know).

The following weekend Preston, Sari, Pappy, and I went on a 10 hour road trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to visit Gene and Cassandra. Preston could not have been more perfect on the drive there. He didn't cry once. We all took turns getting in the backseat (and it really turned into a fight on who got to spend the most time in the back).
We had a fantastic time visiting with them and we look forward to seeing them again soon. The only down side to the trip was Preston experienced his first ear infection. We took him to an emergency care center when his fever got up to 102. They prescribed his first antibiotic and he was not a fan of that one bit, but we managed to get it down him. That night he slept with me. I woke up around 2am to take his temperature and was so scared when it read 103.6. I got him up and a dose of Advil in him and within 15 minutes it had dropped down to 102. A few hours later I checked his temperature again and it was at 99.5. That morning he woke up with a huge smile on his face and was ready to play which was a huge relief. He did just as good on the trip home as he did there. I was so proud of our little man.

Last week was Thanksgiving week and it was an incredible time spent with my family. Unfortunately Chip had to work Thanksgiving day, but was home the entire day before which was so much fun. Preston and I went to my aunt and uncles house for lunch and brought back a huge plate of food for Chip for dinner. Hopefully next year we will be able to spend Thanksgiving with our Houston family, we sure did miss them this year!

With all the November excitement over, we are looking forward to Christmas! Our house is decked out in Christmas decor and the more the better in my book. Preston loves all the lights and gets excited every time I turn them on. I talked about how special Novembers are for us, but it doesn't beat December. Our sweet boy will be turning one. I can't start talking about it because I won't be able to stop. I'm sure there will be many post dedicated to my disbelief in the near future :)
