Thanksgiving

So much to be thankful for... An amazing husband, a wonderful family, parents that would do anything for us, a job, health, the gospel, and the number one reason I am especially thankful this season, drumroll please,
ONLY 22 DAYS TILL GRADUATION!!!!!
We always hit both families for Thanksgiving. We started off at my parents, left before dessert, then hit our second dinner at Ryan's parents. I made pumpkin pies... BE IMPRESSED! Ironically this year I didn't have any pie, which I am quite sad about...
Then we decided we would do a little Black Friday shopping beginning at Midnight. The girls went to Old Navy while the boys went to Walmart. I did wait in line for 1 hr 10 min in the FREEZING cold but was able to be one of the 57 people who got the free Dance Central game from Old Navy. I swear the line to check out was longer than the one outside the store.
Got back to the house at about 2ish where Ryan was waiting. The first thing I saw was Ryan watching TV, Tom asleep on the couch and Savanna (she's almost 3) just staring at Ryan. I promise you she wasn't blinking. I asked Ryan if she had been sitting there watching him the whole time they had been home. "Yes." Then I looked a little closer- It appeared that Tom had peed his pants while sleeping on the couch... He woke up and saw his pants all wet and I was practically rolling on the floor. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!! Apparently Ryan had poured a small amount of water on Savanna's dads pants and she had been angry with him for about 20 minutes, just staring him down. I can't believe he didn't wake up, he said the water was just barely starting to soak through his pants, then fell back asleep. HaHaHaHa.
Debated about stopping at Kohls on the way home, and drove past the line at Target... too tired. Needless to say, we didn't get the great deal on a new TV but we had lots of fun and it was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

More progress... getting closer

The retaining wall we had to build so we could have a level patio

The rest of the concrete goes in tomorrow, fence gets started on Friday!! Pray for good weather so we can hopefully be done in 2 weeks. YAY!!!

Waterfall

This will eventually be a waterfall spilling over into the pool and there is a little seat where you will be able to sit behind it.
How it looks now...
Can't wait to see the finished product!! They are almost finished with the tile work and have started the rock work on the infinity edge. Sooo excited!!

Freedom!!!

I have the best feeling in the world today... I finished my last clinical for nursing school EVER yesterday!!!! It feels so good to be done and I'd like to have a burning party for my scrub top. Anyone want to come??? One more care plan and I am home free. Then just a few more weeks... 45 DAYS to be exact. YAY!!
