Long time no see....

Wow.... That is all I can literally say.. Its been such a long time. This summer has been quite rocky overall for Cliff and myself. But here we are in almost November and I know we are going to make it. Thanks to all of those that lended us a helping hand and get through the troubled times one day at a time. Prayer is such an amazing tool and trusting that the Man upstairs has a lifeplan for us truly gave Cliff and I so much hope. We also visited with an amazing counseling, Beverly Ross with Wise County Christian Counseling, who gave us several tools to us both individually and together. We've also started attending the Aurora First Baptist Church in Aurora, TX which is about 15 minutes south of us. We are really enjoying the experience there. Actually a guy that Cliff works with invited us to attend and we have gone several times since.

So a catch up on our lives...

Well Cliff's work is picking up! Woohoo!!! At least its not to the point of fear and maybe being the next one to be laid off. He has spent many days, nights and in between time at his deer lease in Henrietta, TX. He loves it there. I can't wait for actual deer season (gun) to open and him get a nice buck to mount in the house. He is super stoked! Plus during the time he is hunting I think that gives me the opportunity to SHOP!!!

My birthday was October 4. So that Saturday my mom came down and we headed to Christmas in Cowtown. We spent a few hours there shopping and looking at some cute things. She treated me to lunch at Pappadeaux (my fave). We then headed to the mall and just shopped. Had a great mother-daughter day together and I got this super cute black tote. LOVE IT!!!! That evening several of our family friends, and then 2 Halliburton couples headed to the Ponder Steakhouse and had dinner. Let me tell you there was so much laughter, my stomach muscles hurt so bad the next day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANETTTE!!! (That is how they sung it to me!)

Other than that Cliff and I have been spending lots of quality time together and just getting back to the basics of US!

Hope everyone has a great week and I promise I will be back on here a lot more often!
