Playing catch up

We have been overly busy since Halloween so there is so much to catch up on.

November 3rd:
Willie had surgery to remove his gallblader. He had been having a lot of pain for about 2 weeks and couldn't eat anything without being missarable. If you know my husband; he is not a hospital person. He was very nervous about having the procedure done but he did pretty good. Took him a few days to get moving again but he is back to normal pretty much now. Just has to watch what he eats.

November 13th:
We celebrated my grandparents 50th Wedding anniversary in Merkel, TX. We had a good time seeing family and friends.

Thanksgiving:

We had a very busy Thanksgiving. I believe we attended 4 meals...we are done with Turkey till next year! We visited my family, Willie's family and even had Thanksgiving with Willie's work. We ate way too much but had a great time seeing and visiting everyone.

The day after Thanksgiving (blackfriday) me and Elise ventured out at 3am and went shopping. We have done it every year since we could drive...LOL. I don't think we have every left the house that early so we were exhausted the rest of the day for sure. We always make a list of the things we are on a mission to get and schedule of where we will be going. I have to say this year was a little more crowded than I remember it being in several years. Never the less, we got pretty much everything we were wanting. I can't say that there wasn't some pushing and shoving and cuting but thats the name of the game on black friday. I guess thats the whole thrill of going but I saved a lot of money too. I am sure we will be back out there next year.

Oh yeah, and how could I forget! 50 years!!! What a wonderful example they are. Very, very special. I would love to think we will live long enough to celebrate 50 years...so far, 7 have been great, so I can only imagine how the next 43 will be! :)
