Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year

Sure...each one of these deserves to stand on their own. Dan and I haven't posted in a good bit and I thought it necessary to finish up these events and start new for 2010!
Thanksgiving was at my grandmother's lake house on Cedar Creek. My cousin, the dedicated fireman, decided it would be a great idea to live up to family traditions past and fry a turkey. Well, once Dan got wind of that, the race was on. He and Evan were texting back and forth deciding on their strategy. The turkey was wonderful, the sides were wonderful, the family was wonderful!
Then there was our wedding...more to come once we get the pictures in...let's say for now...beautiful, memorable, and I'll never forget his face and the smile I saw when I walked down the aisle. So very wonderful.
After that, moving in together was a little crazy! A one-bedroom apartment is not really meant to hold 2 adults who've lived on their own for awhile. We had so many duplicates of everything..it was hard to weed through it all, but we're getting it done. Our home has that "lived-in" look, which I like. Decorating for Christmas though was a bit of a crazy thought, so we bought a 2 ft. tree and decorated it up real nice! :P Stockings were hung on the bar and that was about the extent of the decorating this year. It kind of hurt my heart to not put up everything, but I knew I couldn't find a place for it just yet.
Huffines had their Christmas party at Castle Hills Country Club and Dan had his for Mass Group Marketing at Mi Cocina in Frisco. He was blessed with a Christmas bonus check. He really does love working for this company! They have been great to him and he's working his way up!
Christmas was an adventure to say the least. After many changes in our plans due to weather and other things, we spent Christmas eve at home together and had a fantastic first Christmas together. We went to Mom and Dad's for Christmas dinner and my grandmother was visiting as well. Cornish game hens, cornbread dressing and Dan's precious fudge were in attendance. Overall it was a great day!
And that leads us to now...New Year's hockey game tonight and then headed to spend the end of 2009 with Greg and Colleen back at Chapel Hill. I'm excited to be spending it with my new husband, family, and good friends. Blessings and love to a wonderful 2010 to all! See you in the new year!
