Day 06 - A picture of your recent vacation, with your family

I just realized I didn't get any pictures of my family the last time we were all together which was Christmas 2010.  However, I got a lot of great shots over Thanksgiving 2010!

Thanksgiving for the past few years has been in the panhandle of Texas.  I must say - I hate the panhandle.  I have some memories from there. I didn't grow up there - I grew up in southwest Kansas (only a slight step up from the panhandle of Texas).  I did however, spend the summer after I graduated high school down in Texas.  I enjoyed it but it just isn't for me. Anyway, Thanksgiving was nice however.  The boyfriend and pup and myself made a car trip out of it.  We stopped semi-half way in Albuquerque at a dog park and let little Jasp run around. He played with the most adorable bull dog.  She was only 6 months old. I have NEVER seen a bulldog run like this little girl. Too cute.

Anyway, on to the picture:

Yes - we know the background sucks...haha. There weren't a lot of options at Aunt T's house!

I love my family.  I often times wish I lived closer to them all.  I literally have missed A growing up (she's the youngest one).  I graduated college when M graduated 8th grade and A graduated kindergarten.  She's so big now. She's going to do so well for herself though. She's gorgeous and has a great head on her shoulder and seems very bright and witty!  M is going to do amazing things as well. She graduates from Texas Tech in a month with a degree in graphic design! I can't wait to see what she can make of it. She is so incredibly talented.

Oh and one more picture.  This is of the whole clan for Thanksgiving. Yes - we are a very....interesting...bunch.

I'm going to answer before YOU even ask. Yes that dude's stache is real...that's my Uncle Billy Don. I remember being so scared of him when I was little. Still am a little 'intrigued' by his ways - I love him though.

Anyway, that's all for tonight. Need to get some sleep.

Day 27: Picture of your family

So yes - I have been studying tonight and between each page I have been trying to catch up on some of YOUR blogs. I have missed you all :*)

Anyway, Day 27 seems easy enough so here goes:

@ Thanksgiving 2010 in Texas (I grew up in Kansas but my parents moved to Texas when I was in college) - we all took the "awkward" family photos. I enjoyed it though - this is my mom and dad and 2 little sisters :) 

My "family" out here in Arizona. The boyfriend and the pup. This was taken in November on Day 3 of the "Breast Cancer 3 Day" 60 mile walk. The two of them came out to a "cheering station" to cheer me on and I got to give Jasper his 3 day t-shirt (he hates it haha...I don't blame him...naked is always best!)

Anyway, I have worked 60 hours so far this week and am going in tomorrow as well for at least 6 hours. :S I have not studied sufficiently for the section of the CPA exam I take NEXT SUNDAY so that sucks...but I will try to make up for it by last minute cramming (what I did and perfected in college). We will see...i'm not feeling very optimistic about it but I also can't push it back. Another 200ish down the drain *sigh*

Anyway, I try to read your posts throughout the day - I just don't comment on them all. Just wanted you all to know.  Little Silk Dress - I know you gave me an award. I will try to get to that ASAP. Thank you for passing it along...just a busy time for me right now :)
