*****NOVEMBER UPDATES*****

Well it seems like it was just Canton weekend and here it is the weekend before Thanksgiving. Lots and lots to update, so here goes.

Cliff's 26th birthday was on November 12 which was mid week this year. Two days before Cliff informed me he would be headed to Calvin, Oklahoma for work on Thursday.. So ofcourse, we all know me and yes.. I got antsy. So instead of Cliff getting his present from me and then leaving I gave to him on Monday night. HE GOT A NINTENDO WII, GAMES, HARDWARE!!!! I wasn't too involved with the playing the first night, however, the second night Cliff allowed some play time for me. I got to fish, bowls and compete in several boxing rounds. Let me just tell you.. I got into the 6 boxing matches so much that for the next 2 days my abs were SORE, yes SORE!! Crazy.. I'm a believer in the WII for getting kiddo's up and moving now.

Wednesday night, Cliffs birthday, we headed down to Fort Worth and went to Saltgrass for Cliffy's birthday. One of his favorite restaurants and what man doesn't deserve a good steak dinner for his birthday!?!?!

Thursday came and it was a sad day for me in all. I always get a little down with him leaving but I knew it would be quick and painless, other than being alone and I dislike being alone. I think I spent too much time alone as an only child or something. WHO KNOWS...

The weekend was here and lots and lots of festivities for me in store. Friday night I hung out with one of my very good friends Holly! We had a great time catching up since it had been quite some time.

Saturday I met Carla (my sister n law), Hilari (Carla's good friend) and Hilari's 2 girls (Jayden and Amaya) at ElChico for lunch. We then made a few quick stops for Grandma Jean's birthday present and then headed to the birthday party for Grandma Jean Davis. It was her 75th birthday and her children planned a surprise party for her... This was taken place at Jean's new church there in Denison, TX. Lots and lots of family and friends showed up from all over. Roni, Tawana and Sherri did a WONDERFUL job of all the planning and time put into the party. And by the way Sherri knows how to make some "incredible" shower punch!!! There were several flower arrangements on the tables and they were pretty too!!! I'm a sucker for fresh flowers!!!

After the party we hung out at Rick and Roni's for a short time. Rick actually fixed my back passenger light that had burned out.. It amazes me that Cliff's light burned out and his truck is 3 years old and my car that is 6 years old is still burning fine.. Roni also gave me one of the flower arrangement that she had made and it was filled with roses, carnations and greenery.

Sunday I spend the day with my wonderful mom... We had a day that was perfect to me. We shopped a little, ate lunch at ElFenix and she allowed me to go to Sam's to stock up on a few household items Cliff and I needed. Lots and lots of laughter occured and as always its nice to spend the day with a mom that I love so very much.

Suprisingly Cliff was able to come home on Monday!!!!
