{Christmas is coming!}

I love Christmas, I am bit obsessed if you as Chad. I am DYING to put up my decorations and he is discouraging me, he thinks we need to get through Thanksgiving first...Well I am not going to let that stop me!

Yesterday, while watching the Georgia/Auburn game {talk about a nail bitter!} I made my tags for gifts. I also started my Christmas shopping this weekend, my nephew will be dressing like a Storm Trooper come Christmas Eve. And today we went to Judy's so she could use her fancy camera and make our picture for our Christmas card. The two I am deciding between are above, they are from www.kodakgallery.com. I love both of them, I am going to have a hard time choosing! 

We have had the best weekend, I hate to see it end. 

{Sweet baby Brody}

Meet sweet baby Brody, he is my cousin David's little boy and cute as can be! He was born earlier this year and when he was five weeks old he went to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta because of a high fever and was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.

It took them a LONG time to figure out what was wrong with him {at one point the family turtle was sent packing because they were told Brody had salmonella from the family pet!} and it turned out he had a rare form of spinal bifida. Brody, David and Candace will be on the Star 94 Cares for Kids radiothon this week! This is a great organization so all of my Georgia peps should listen for him and give to this AMAZING hospital!

{day off shenanigans}

I had a doctors appointment yesterday so I took the day off {I loose my vacation days if I don't use them so I am only working one full week in November!} Chad apparently gets Veteran's Day off as well {who knew!} so we got to spend the day together.

We went to lunch at Einstein's {yummy turkey sandwich!!} then we hit up Circuit City, well them must not be going out of business any time soon because only 10% was taken off of everything. No- everything must NOT go right now...I went to Old Navy and they are having a HUGE sale on outerwear, 50% off! I got this new coat for $50. The website doesn't have them at 50% off which is kind of strange...

Then we got CRAZY! We decided to head up to the North Georgia Premium outlets, not too far away since we practically live in South Carolina! Those are the BEST outlets- Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Williams Sonoma, Kate Spade, Burberry, Coach, Cole Haan, the list goes on and on! Their Polo and Brooks Brothers stores are a lot bigger too...

It was a great day, I love when we have random days that have no plan!! And best of all- we only spent $50 at Old Navy!!

{The Big Thank You}

The local Atlanta radio station I listen to on my way in to work is doing something HUGE for Thanksgiving and our troops. They are trying to get over 1,000,000 messages on a website to show support for our troops all over the world. Take some time out of your day, it only takes 5 seconds, and show your support.

{GA/FL Weekend}

We had a great time with my parents this past weekend at the GA/FL game {besides the MASSACRE we took from Florida...}. We went to Jekyll Island and spent the weekend with Bulldog fans {I wore my Dawgs for McCain pin all weekend!}. I loved this gator fan's orange and blue overalls, and it is true GATOR FANS WEAR JEAN SHORTS!

"Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.
Thank you, and God bless you, and God bless America. " ~ John McCain

We have made HISTORY! Even if "my" candidate did not win the race I can proudly say that I am beyond proud of the history that was made last night. My children will never understand how amazing this election was, it will be normal to them and that is an amazing feeling. While I might not agree with all of his polices I am excited to call Mr. Obama my president because we could all use a change. I will support him and am still proud to be an American. If you do not embrace the change that has come it will be a LONG four years. I hope that the change he has promised comes to fruition and that America prospers.

John McCain ran a class act race and I am proud to be a McCain supporter, what an amazing speech he delivered last night! So embrace this Republicans, this is your future...

{Happy Election Day}

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Chad and I did our civic duty this morning and were in line at 6:45, out at 9:00. I am excited {and nervous} to see what the next few hours bring and I pray constantly that the country is a better place when all of the votes are tallied and the race is won.
