Feels Like Home... Thanksgiving Update

I enjoyed every second of being home.

My sisters and I were under the same roof for two whole days! Jennie had to leave Friday after lunch to be at work in Marietta at 6:00 am... what a trooper. There were tears as she left, but plenty of smiles and laughs during her visit to make up for it. I'm hoping we'll have more time together when Christmas comes. I love this time of year - I know I'll get to see my whole family at least twice in less than a month!

After lunch, everybody took a nap for a little while (of course) before waking up to eat dessert. We eventually made our way outside for our annual Thanksgiving Boone Family Photo Shoot.

Jennie's boyfriend Chris played photographer, which kept our smiles authentic to say the least.

Daddy-Man and his Girlie-Girls

Mama with her girls
(I think this one was my favorite.)

Lulas are the best!

Hopefully, Christmas, NYE and other outings will be updated soon!!

Forgot My Favorite!

One More!

I saw this on Nattie's MySpace and forgot we'd taken it. I think we look quite fabulous if I do say so myself. :-)

Lulas are the best.

I Heart Being Home

A Few Pictures From Imogen!

An evening out with this chick made the whole thing worthwhile.

Possibly the quirkiest performer I've ever seen, but a fantastic show.

Give me a break. You really think I'd let her?

Not a chance.

Coming Home

After a VERY long day, I made it home around 11:00 last night. I came in to a bowl of Mama's Potato Soup, homemade cornbread, and two of my three sisters - Kadee came in about half an hour later.

We sat around the kitchen table laughing, relaxing and just.... being home.

Jennie brought Chris with her for a couple of days, which can only mean fun things will happen.

See?

And again... he's just that funny, ladies and gentlemen!

More to come in a couple of days! :-)

What I Am Thinking?

I am going to drive home tonight so I can take Nattie to an Imogen Heap concert at the Orange Peel in Asheville. I bought the tickets months ago thinking they were for a Friday night show. Nope. Thursday night.

"Say Goodnight and Go..."

I'm in the middle of an intensive writing unit in my classroom. As I write, I think all 23 of my students are trying to ask me 23 different questions. I have to be back here tomorrow, or my unit will be off kilter.

So.... I am getting up at 5AM in Asheville in order to be back here for my 10:30 Writer's Workshop class.... I am going to be a zombie.

Say a prayer, wish me luck or call me crazy. Any one of those three options would fit!

Me. About 10 AM tomorrow. Minus the other 3.
