Paul called me tonight from work to tell me to look outside... and guess what?? It's SNOWING! This is the start of my 1st Virginia winter and I am very excited :) I cannot believe that the winter season is already upon us! I wanted to share my excitement with everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday night!

Happy December Everyone :)
I feel as though I have been slacking the past several weeks in updating our blog! December has officially arrived and it blows my mind that Thanksgiving is done and over with so soon. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family/friends this year and that you were blessed with good food, great company and amazing memories!
Paul and I had 4 ENTIRE days off together ( We are lucky to have 1 entire day off together a month. Even though Football season is done and Basketball games are not nearly as long, they require Paul to be gone more often. We are blessed that he is typically home by 9:30 or 10:00 on BBall nights). Thursday morning we (including Harley) drove into Charlottesville to pick up Cameron and go to a local school to watch the Charlottesville 2nd ward play flag football. Man did I underdress for the game. Since Paul could not play, we brought the puppy and watched from our camp chairs. It was a brisk 42 degrees that morning and I was very thankful that Harley did not throw up in the car b/c I was able to use the blanket we brought to cover the back seat... just incase. The game started off with quite the scare!!!! A guy brought his huge dog with him and decided that even though he is "socially retarted" (as quoted by the dog's owner) he let him run free. The dog ran over to Harley and immediately attacked him. It freaked me out like I can not express. Harley was yelping while the dog was trying to bite his neck. Paul grabbed Harley's collar and threw him on me. All I could do was hold on for dear life hoping that the dog would go away. The owned tried explaining to us that the dog was not very well socialized around other dogs. I immediately asked him where in the heck his leash was if he knew his dog was a threat to other animals. Luckily, he was not injured but we think Harley bit the other dog. Good for Harley!
Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. Paul's mom and sister Kaylyn did most of the cooking. We had turkey, ham, dressing... you know... the holiday works :) It was amazing food. Thanksgiving is the 1 holiday that makes me really miss my family. I love the Stone/Blessing family traditions... aka... Noodles :) Yummy!!!!! I think next year I will make noodles and take them to the Quillon Thanksgiving dinner! Bring a little Stone to the meal :)
Friday we opted out of the Black Friday shopping frenzy. We did go to walmart to buy some lites and balls for our little 4 ft tree. We also went to the Halmark store and bought an Elf on a Shelf. if you have not seen them, you should go to Halmark and look at one. It is such a cute idea for families with little kids. Never too soon or late to start a new family tradition. Although we are lacking in the children department, we thought it would be a cute little tradition to start with the two of us. His name is Buddy and he sit's on a shelf in our kitchen/dining room. He's cute.
Yesterday was my day off and I was able to accomplish a TON around the house. I had a horribe headache yesterday and could not shake the little after shock headaches I get when the headache sit's behind either eye. I woke up this morning with a little headache behidn my eye again and it turned into a full blown migraine and all could do was lay in bed or lay in the bathroom for the majority of the morning/afternoon. I was so glad when my excedrine finally kicked in and Paul came home to snuggle with me on the couch.
Yesterday was Harley's first non check up vet visit. Believe it or not, the incision where he was fixed 2 months ago has opened back up and yesterday I noticed that there was puss oozing from the sore. I called the vet and she wanted to see him asap. So, when Paul came home, we got back in the car and drove him to our vet. He did such a great job! Our vet is the NICEST woman!!! Her and her assistants are always sooooooo nice to him and give him lots of treats. They had to take him into the back to clip the hair around the sore and to scrub it. It broke my hear sitting the the exam room listening to him yelp. He was not as happy when we saw him next. They put him on some antibiotics and besides the fact that the meds make him REALLY tired, he seems to be doing great!
Tonight's the 1st night since our wedding that Paul's been called out for work because of a bad accident in town. He only get's called out if it's a fatality or close to it. I honestly have never seen him get dressed so quickly. I don't think he tied his boots before leaving the house. I really hope he's home sooner than later! I work all day tomorrow and he has a basketball game tomorrow night. I know he does not want to be gone any more then I want him to be gone. My thoughts are with the child that was injured tonight.
Well, that's all I know for now. I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the Christmas season!
