Good afternoon!

Hello again! Since I am bored at work right now, I thought I'd visit the blog. Oh, in case you didn't know, Todd and I both work for a publishing company here in Houston. We publish high end real estate magazines: Residence International, Pinnacle, and Farm & Ranch. They are sold at bookstores across the country, so if you see one, check out our names at the front of the magazines!!! :)

Todd and I just found out that the old lady who lives next door (and has lived there for over 40 years) is moving! We are nervous to see who will move into her house. Hopefully it is someone nice who will take good care of their house and yard. We really do not want to live next door to a messy, crazy person!

This year, Todd and I will be hosting what is called "Big Family Christmas" at our house. See, every year, my Mom's side of the family all get together at someones house for Christmas (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc...). Todd and I volunteered for it this year. We are actually quite excited about it right now. We haven't had a big party at our house since we moved in back in October of '07. Now, all my mind can think about are things like: "What kind of games should I have for the children?"..."Where is everyone going to sit?"..."Which Christmas movie will I put on the T.V.?"..."Do we have to watch football?"... :) I'm sure everything will figure itself out.

What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving next week? Todd and I are making the rounds! First to dad & Laura's house, then to mom and Rob's house. We are going to be so stuffed!!!

I guess I should log off now and get back to work. Have a great rest of the day everyone!

I'm a pastor and to anwser your question, yes, football is necessary on Christmas, but only if it doesn't fall on Sunday, then it's optional. Hope this helps:-)

Tonight I started eating meat again after 6 months, porkchops:-) Jacque is still a vegitarian and doing well. I'm just having a problem controling my sugars on a vegitarian diet. So I'm having turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and pumkin pie for Thanksgiving and Jacque will probably have a saled:-(

Melisa,

We are going to Greg's brothers here in Albuquerque for dinner. For Christmas, we are hoping to go to Utah and visit Greg's dad and the rest of his family.

I guess this means we'll have football on the TV at Christmas! :)

Congrats on rejoining the meat-eating world, Ed! Todd and I are having porkchops for dinner tonight. Mmmm...
