Thanksgiving 2012

This Thanksgiving was very different for me.  This was the first holiday that I did not spend with my family, so it was a little bittersweet.  We had so much fun hanging out at the Farm with the Goetze family at their farm in Virginia.  The food was delicious and spending time with so many family members was wonderful!     

The Farm

 Our first Thanksgiving EVER spent together!! 

In August, we got Cows at the farm.  All of them are pregnant and around Thanksgiving a couple of them were due.  Jake and I stayed at the farm until Sunday and the first calf was born on Monday!!  This was the first time that Jake and I had seen the cows and were hoping one of the babies would be born while we were there.  

Overall it was a great break as we both had 3 days off of work and it was a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!! 

July 4th

The week of July 4th was a hard week.  My uncle Jimmy passed away on July 3rd, so that was was full of tears and family!  It was fun spending time with my dad's side of the family, but I wish it was under different circumstances.  Everyone gathered at my parents house, and once everyone left, Jake and I went to the Rolesville Fireworks.  We missed the Wake Forest ones and its not July 4th without FIREWORKS!  We had a great time sitting on Jake's tail gait in the CVS parking lot!  This was such a fun night!  

My handsome husband and Me

 I love fireworks and I look forward to them every year!  I love all the pretty colors against the dark night sky!
