Thanksgiving/Birthday

And so ends another Thanksgiving and 2 week long birthday celebration for Justin.  He is now 7 years old.  I feel like his childhood is just flying by and I'll be 50 before you know it. 
Well this year, we started Thanksgiving with my side of the family in SC and had pizza and cupcakes instead of turkey.  It was kind of nice. 

On Thanksgiving day, I had to let go of my first ever doggy.  It was the saddest thing I've done in a LONG time.  Not only am I sad, but now the other dog just cries all the time.  It's gut wrenching.  We buried her in the front yard, the one place where she could always find a little peace and quiet away from Zeek.  She was the best dog anyone could ever ask for.  She was old and it was her time to go. 

On Thanksgiving evening, we enjoyed a delicious meal with James' mom, and his side of the family here in NC.  We ate entirely too much to then make a 4 hour drive up the highway. 

The rest of the weekend was spent in WV with James' dad and his family there.  He went hunting for the first time with his dad on Saturday.  They took Justin and everyone had a great time.  Even brought home a deer.  That's about as far as I care to go about that.  LOL

Since I stink at blogging, it will probably be Easter before I update again.  But in closing, I'd just like to say how thankful for I am for the people in our lives that make us what we are.
