New look and other stuff

Like the new look of the blog? It's courtesy of Shabby Miss Jenn's blogwear. This one is Grandma's Xmas, but you can spy all of her fabulous, shabby blog stuff here.

Still no news on the house front, other than the fact that we have also listed it for lease. With the holiday season here, I just can't imagine that we'll see too much action in the way of showings and/or sellings.

Speaking of the holidays, we're off on our visit traveling Thanksgiving this afternoon. Yep, this is the first time in our 7-year marriage that we have not hosted turkey day. I'm kind of sad about it. We really enjoyed doing the entertaining. I also did something this year that I swore I would never do....
I put up the Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. Gasp! Horror! I am a staight-up day after Thanksgiving decorator. However, since we are traveling this year I knew that I would be too wiped to do it when we got home so I decided to break my rule and do it before we left.

Did you catch the mention that K-man and I have been married for 7 years? That's right, our anniversary was Monday. All usual 7-yr itch jokes aside, we have been extremely blessed with the life we have. Khalil joked on Facebook, "here's to 7 more," but he's knows he's stuck with me for a lot longer than that.

I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! I pray you enjoy the day and time with your family and friends. May you remember to count your blessings!

Our trip to Mexico

We had a wonderful vacation at the Excellence Riviera Cancun. You know when you scope a place out on the internet you wonder if it's going to be as good in person. Well, let me tell you...this place is seriously gorgeous. What you see on the website is what you get! We're already planning our return trip! It will come as no surprise that K-man was even named guest of the day while we were there. He was quite the little joiner. Here are a few pics from our time there. I was a bad photographer and didn't take many. I was too busy relaxing.
