Ryan and I also enjoyed a thankgiving at his dad's house in Houston. It was a nice relaxing evening filled with great conversation, memories, food and of course laughter. Here are just a few pics.

Thanksgiving was so much fun for us this year! (I know this is a week late but O well.) As mentioned before Ryan surprised me with a cabin in New Braunfels the night before we were due in Austin. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing! We were just down the road from a little town called Gruene which is also where we got engaged. :) We love this town so much because it is a VERY small town and people are so friendly and polite. There are a few shops that always have people sitting out in front of them and the same goes for all of the cafes and restaurants It is just a darling little town. So we just joined the crowd and poked around town AND took some photos.

Well, its official - We're a Crackberry family. I (Ryan, just cuz I never post anything on here..) got my Blackberry Storm on Friday and LOVED it.. Danielle has been asking for a new phone for Christmas and I have been asking her to come over to Verizon - mostly because T-Mobile blows...alot. We met in the middle and she is now on Verizon and has a NEW STORM!
So far we both love our phones.. She's been setting the ring tones all night so that each message and whatever else has a different ring tone - which is fine, I do the same myself. Hers are all girly and "dingy" and sound like a chorus of Elf Bells going off all the time.
But regardless of her choice of ring tones, I am glad that she likes her phone. I just hope we can keep hers and mine separate!
-- Funny note: Each time hers dings or mine dings a certain tone, Harley thinks its the doorbell and starts to gruff... What a doof..
Well, I have thanksgiving off as my "holiday" this year. YAY! At least I get a holiday. What does this consist of? It just means that my two days off this week are Wed and Thurs. how nice. So, I have been wanting to go camping cause I LOVE camping when it's cold outside! I begged and begged Ryan to take me camping but he kept claiming he couldn't take any extra days off work this week and he had too much to turn in before Thurs. so it would basically be impossible to get off. If you know me, I do not do well with "No's" and so I pouted, threw a tantrum and acted wayyyyy under my age for a few days. Then yesterday, while at work enduring a 12 hours VP visit to the store, I received an email from Ryan with a cute picture of a cabin in New Braunfels. I asked Ryan why he was sending me pics of a house and he said, "That's where we are staying tomorrow night." He had already planned to take me camping and had all the arrangements taken care of. How thoughtful. Of course, this made me feel like one big fat terd because I was such a brat. But we are now off to our cabin for the day/night and then we are going to enjoy hot dogs and cool weather instead of turkey and stuffing at the UT vs. A&M game in Austin. Good Luck to Shelly as sheer cheers on the Horns and GO HORNS!! (i am sure it won't be a close game.) HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!
Last weekend ryan and I also went in to Houston to go to the UH football game. We were able to go tailgating with a few friends and catch up. Here's some pics.
