Recap.

As always, 
I'll begin with an apology.
i'm sorry -
We've been busy.
Hopefully I can recall some recent events
with this Alzheimer's Disease I have.
From April to November our life has been spent
9am - 9pm between work
& volleyball.
Since volleyball has come to an end. 
I'm not quiet sure what to do with my time 
(apparently blogging hasn't been part of it)

Let's talk about Volleyball for a minute. 
It was an awesome season. 
I had the BEST group of girls ever.
They won a District Championship -
(which hasn't been done at chipley in 5 years)
and made it to the Elite 8.
They worked hard for it. 
trust me. 
Other than volleyball our time has been spent in the following ways
FSU Football Games: 
Go Noles
& Volleyball Games
FSU BEAT UF!
Weekend Get A Way's 
But, not enough of these!
Our own Thanksgiving

 We spent Thanksgiving away from our families in Orlando. 
We had some friends getting married the day after Thanksgiving
& decided to make a little get-a-way out of it. 
We ATE OUT on Thanksgiving. 
I didn't know people did such a thing.
I must say it was pretty incredible.
I feel as though I've been sheltered my whole life.
Seriously. Did you know people ate out?
like large masses of people.


We finished off the day Ice Skating in "Central Park".
I have some good videos of Blake & his olympic jumps.
perhaps i'll share those another day! 
We then decided to check out a few shops for Black Friday.
We quickly learned we don't know nothin about Black Friday Shopping.
People had:
(1)SUITCASES
(2)UHAULS
(3)Did I say SUITCASES?
seriously. EVERYONE had multiple suitcases.
and I SAW 5 Uhauls in the parking lot.
(i'm sure there were many more)
Ridiculous.

Bonifay Rodeo.
No Pictures of the actual Rodeo. 
But I did snap a shot of the two cutest Cowboys!
Temple Trips
2 NEW Nephews
Within TWO weeks of each other!
I LOVE being an Aunt. 
& I have the CUTEST Nephews.
all three of them.
Halloween
I couldn't resist this picture of my father.
 If you know him. 
that is just hilarious.

What were we thinking?!
The idea of the "Bee & Beekeeper" looked better in my head.
please forgive us for our poor costume choice. 
& my hair.
oh, don't let me get started. 
Blake got his AA
hello AA!
this means he's one step closer to a Bachelors Degree. 
He beings FSU in January!
It's so crazy how fast time has flown.
He's been an exceptional student -
I'm proud of Him!     
 
Engagement & Bachelorette Parties 
Janell, Karina & I
A death in the family. 
This one is sad
We lost a Chicken.

 I may or may not have shed a few tears over this one.
I LOVE my chicks. 
They are my children.

New dog.
Nala
This cute thing -
killed my chicken.
(which almost resulted in her death)
I THINK it was accidental
They usually "play chase".
& it looks like chase just went the wrong.
however, She tried to get Mater too.
when we got home Mater was turned upside town.
( I was SURE she was dead)
Blake turned her over and she limped a little. 
Apparently Chickens "Play Dead".
Blake & Knee Surgery 
Sorry there are no pictures of this. 
Because this happens - 
TOMORROW. 
Dec. 28
Which means I'll be playing Nurse
You better pray for the two of us. 
 Oh, we moved -
how could i forget this. 

We've MOVED!
& LOVE IT. 
seriously.
I'll post a picture or two later on. 
I'm still working on the whole decor thing.
In case you don't know -
getting a HOUSE, the way you want it
(or the way I want it)
takes a little bit of time. 
    


It has truly been an AMAZING year. 
We have SO many things to be greatful for.
Daily.
not just on thanksgiving or any other holiday. 


Here's to a NEW YEAR.
 ( and six more months until I update )
The Andersons

  1. I love the recap! Congratulations on the volleyball district championship. I knew a girl in middle school who's family would eat out every Thanksgiving and she thought everyone did that. She was in for a big surprise when everyone in the class said no. Congratulations to Blake on getting his AA!! That's very exciting. He'll fly right through to his BA no problem.
