Yep thats pretty much the first Q word that popped into my mind!!
3 months...that's how long it has been since I have posted last..Here's what has happened, I'll give you the short version complete with pictures...
So Thanksgiving was fun...Went to Minnesota, had some quality time with the family! Enjoyed and participated in a completely amazing talent show...This is a picture of Melody, Katie, My mom, and I in our poodle skirts! The theme was 50's! All of the poodle skirts were made by my mom!! Including the little babies' ones!
This next one is a picture of my whole family that was there...It's only my mom's side!!
And this picture is Briawna and I...we dressed up on Halloween in the 50's and went to 2 Halloween parties and visited her mom's house as well!! It was great!!
These are my two little nieces...Macy (in light pink) and Jaylen (in hot pink)!!
Also, while we were in Minnesota, the lake was frozen over!! Almost all the way...but just enough so we could take a family picture on it!! Here we all are!!
Lets see...in December...you know we had Christmas!! Here's a few pictures from it...
This first one is the Young Professionals groups at Northside and Eastpoint!! We all went and played Paintball together...Organized by yours truly!! Sometime since I have forgotten to post I got nominated to organize the 'social events' of our group at church...so for my first action..we went and played Paintball!!
This next picture is from my family christmas with my dads side...its not too good but it was the best one I had with the most people in it! We also had our own family christmas with just my brothers and sisters and parents but I honestly didn't have any good pictures of it...
Also since I have been the 'social coordinator' for the young professionals, I have gotten together with two people from two different churchs and we are alternating months to have an Area-wide Devo with all our Young Professionals group...So since I had already planned the Paintball thing...We went to West Douglas church for New Years!! Here's the group picture of it!! We actually have a big group of people!! This is 3 different church groups...And the second little picture is us having one HUGE game of NERTZ!!! It's awesome..we play with partners so we can have more people play!! It's so much fun!!
The next few pictures are from 'Game Night'...I hosted an area wide event at my house...we played the Wii(btw..I got that for christmas) and Scattegories and Nertz!!! The Young Professionals at Eastpoint are obsessed with the game!! We play it everywhere if you can't tell!!
Our Nertz table...
About the end of January, I went on a ski trip to Crested Butte with the Young Professionals at church!! It was so much fun except for the fact that my foot really hurt skiing so I might not be able to ever ski again...but I'm going to try snowboarding since the boots fit differently so maybe I don't have to give up the WHOLE mountain just the skiing part...Here's a picture of the whole group that went with us..
Ok...the last pictures of the night...this was our next Area-wide activity that happened about 2 weeks ago...It was at Northside Church and we started out the night with some food and a very nice devo! Then afterwards we had 'Northside Olympics' so we were randomly put into teams and had to pick a name...so this is at the end of the night and here's the teams...
First team.....When we were counting off, everyone kept counting to 5 instead of 4 so the 1's got together and there team name was 'Shoulda Been 5's'
Next, this team is pretty self-explanatory...a bunch a engineer guys who say one thing but secretly love women...their team name was......'He-Man Women Haters'
This one...I'm really not sure how they came up with the name, but we love them for their non-originality :)...but their team name was....'Photosynthesis'
And finally, my team...there is definitely a story behind our picture...The guy on the far left in the gray sweater is named Alex Flood...so since he was kind of our group leader we named our group the 'Floodians'...but half way through the night he had to help out with leading the last even and unfortunately did not use it to his team's advantage so we decided that he should shunned and de-throned...so we changed our name to the 'Prattians' since that is Stephanie's last name...So the picture is of us raising up Stephanie and shunning Alex!!
Well I hope you all enjoyed this post...I won't be updating for another week...I have lots to do..I'm going to be getting licensed for Property and Casualty Insurance...taking a trip to Branson, MO...Celebrating Macy's first birthday...and much, much more...so i'll update hopefully when I get back from all of those!!Think about it...
