THANKFUL.

I had a very busy holiday weekend.  But that's ok, I like busy.  My weekend started out with Bonnie's radio show at Henry T's. We celebrated Bonnie's Dad's birthday with the fans and I got a huge cake to share with the restaurant. Everyone teased me for the size of the cake I ordered but every last piece was taken.  When will these people realize that I am an EXPERT on cake?!?!?! HA! Afterwards Lora, Shane, ET and a bunch of my college friends came and met me and we watched the Jayhawks play Duke in MBB.  The game didn't really go our way (we were robbed) but it was fun catching up with everyone who was home for Thanksgiving. Amanda Grant stopped by with her hubby so it was fun seeing her. I am so THANKFUL that my college friends are still so close. Even though we don't live in the same place anymore, we never miss a beat when we get back together.

I spent Thanksgiving at Grandpa Harwood's house and had a really good time.  I am so THANKFUL that I have a family away from my real family. I made my Mom's shrimp dish and a homemade (wink wink) apple pie. Both were huge hits :)  Of course I would have prefered to be in Cali with Emma and the rest of my family but Lora's family is a great second option. My Mom sent along this pic of her with my darling diva neice. She is so tiny! Love her.

We hosted a Thanksgiving tournament here in Allen Fieldhouse, went undefeated,  and won the whole dang thing.  I'm so proud of the girls and THANKFUL that we had such a successful weekend. Winning makes everything better. HA!  Angel, Aishah and Carolyn all got tournament awards. It was a great weekend to be a lady Jayhawk!

Hudy made it home safe from Hawaii.  I was so glad to have the bestie back and I'm THANKFUL that the trip went smoothly. With the tragedy that happened at Oklahoma State I don't take that kind of stuff for granted anymore.  My heart was heavy while the Jayhawks were traveling and waited with my phone until I got the "we landed" text.  She brought me back a t-shirt and a couple of fun shell bracelets. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when she said she got me presents, but she did good. HA!

It's weeks like this past one that make me realize how blessed I am.  I have a happy and healthy family, loving and supportive friends, a job that keeps me busy, and a roof over my head. Plus the greatest dog EVER.

I really do have so much to be THANKFUL for. 

Christmas decoration pics soon!  Ho Ho Ho!

Smooches,

THE DARLING DIVA
