mom and dad and me
Becky, me and Todd
We really slacked off on taking pictures this Christmas. We didn't get any pictures of my 25th Birthday dinner, Christmas in Augusta, or Christmas morning brunch at Aunt Pam's! Let me reassure you, though, we had a wonderful Christmas! Lots of time with family and fun gifts.
After Christmas, Bart and Diesel went to Mississippi to duck hunt. Bart said Diesel did VERY well. This was his first big duck hunt. Everything "just clicked" and they had a ball. All of the hard work and training paid off! Now I have three ducks in my freezer to take to the taxidermist! Also, we ate duck poppers last night. (Who would have thought I'd be helping make duck poppers!?!)
While Bart and Diesel were off galavanting in Mississippi, I took the opportunity to go home to visit mom and dad. I decided that I wait entirely too long in between my visits! I had a wonderful time in Thomasville. Beautiful city, fun with old friends, and my old house! Dad has completely taken over my old room. He now calls it the "man cave." The walls are now green and lined with bookshelves, and he put a flat screen T.V. in there! The stuff I left in the closet was moved to the garage for me to go through. I tossed out a bunch of it, but I just couldn't part with my American girl dolls and their furniture! I also took a trip down memory lane as I sorted through the chest at the foot of my old bed trying to decide what to keep and what to throw away. It was kind of fun, but I threw out almost all of it. I don't need every old note from high school, dried out corsages, or pep rally props! I have pictures of everything in scrapbooks that I did keep! I only have so much room in my house, and I can't stand clutter. I would marry a pack rat! =)
I am so thankful for my childhood, upbringing, and every road that brought me to where I am today! I have a wonderful life filled with fabulous friends and family. I love you all!
