A House Divided

Who will come out on top? Well, Nolan for sure because he hasn't chosen either team. He sticks with both teams trying to please mommy and daddy. Kind-hearted Nolan! Gooooooo Gators!

Happy Thanksgiving From All of Us To All of You

What a fabulous Thanksgiving it was. We spent most of the day at my parents house. We had tons of delicious food, great company, lots of entertainment with all of the kids and you tube, loads of fun watching the little ones fishing, and a campfire to end the evening. What a beautiful memory it will always be. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!Tyler Alvers, Rick Alvers, Cody Alvers, Paul Akridge, Celena Julius, Ryan Julius,

Haley is trying to hold on to this fish.

Look closely on the ground.

She doesn't like the smell either.

Finally, they all have their fish!

And off they go to catch some more.

I Am Blessed

Today was a beautiful day because I was continually surrounded by family, friends, and love. Thank you to my family for the home-made cards, the brand new laptop, a delicious chocolate cake beautifully decorated by Nolan and Haley, my comfortable slippers, the sweet smelling perfume, the undergarments, the fabulous candle fragrances, the chocolate covered strawberries, and all of your continuous gestures of love throughout the day.

Thank you to my friends for knowing all of my favorite things. It seems like you all spoke ahead of time and planned out my favorite things but I know you really didn't. I appreciate Cindy for making me my favorite dessert, Chocolate Delight, and the beautiful Santa sleigh. I am enjoying every bite of the dessert. The sleigh matches wonderfully with the trees in my foyer. I am thankful to Jenn and John for meeting me at my favorite restaurant for lunch, The Olive Garden. I love the personalized glass with my initial, it's perfect. I'm glad I could introduce you to a new taste of sweetness at lunch today. Thank you Dawn for surprising me with a gift card from Starbucks. You know how much I love Grande Mocha Frap's. I can't wait to have one with you! Thank you to Sarah and Susan for taking time to catch up with me this evening to share this day with me. Your DECADES of friendship are immeasurable.

Thank you to my mom and dad for the generous gift you gave for my future purchases. You are the reason I am who I am today and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you to Paul for of course sharing a GATOR picture snow globe with me. I treasure it. I think I'll fill it it with a picture of you and I with our Gator gear on. To Valerie and Mary for taking time to catch up with me this evening and sharing your kind thoughts. I look forward to seeing you both on Thanksgiving.

What a wonderful day I had because of the people who deeply love me and who I completely adore! Thank you so much for making this birthday a memorable one. I love you all!
