My Great Gran

First of all, let me apologize for being such a blog neglector...I know you all missed me so much!

Anyway, I would love for all of you to keep my family in your prayers. My great grandma, affectionately known as "Great Gran" is not doing well, and it looks as though she may be in the end stages of her life. She is 99 years old, and will be 100 in December! Her body has started shutting down in the past few weeks, and the Hospice nurse said she thinks it might only be a few days. I went to see her last Wednesday and after seeing the condition she is in, I pray that the Lord takes her home to Him soon so she doesn't have to suffer. I know she is ready to be reunited with lots of special people.

That being said, losing her will be a huge loss for our family, especially if it happens before Thanksgiving. The Smith side of the family gets together every year at Thanksgiving, and it is already going to be hard without my Dad, since we lost him in June. Also, my poor Grandpa will have lost 2 sons and 2 brothers, and now his mom...say an extra prayer for strength for my grandpa as he might have to perform another family member's funeral. I appreciate all the prayers! Below is a picture of Great Gran and me from Thanksgiving last year...isn't she cute??

Isn't she cute??

When I was grocery shopping this weekend, I saw the cutest fall doggie scarf and just had to get it! Duch looks so cute, and she actually doesn't mind it they way she does her Halloween costume or other clothes! See what you think...

My lil' bro and sis

I took Friday off work to spend some time with my little brother and sister. I went to eat lunch with Danielle at school; she's now 13 and in 8th grade! I got to meet her friends and it was really fun! Later that night Danielle, the kids' mom Chrystine and I went to watch Nathan march in the Frisco High School band. My little brother Nathan is 15 and a sophomore. He plays the trumpet and his band is really good! It was fun, and great to see the kids! I can't believe how big they're getting...Nathan is at least 6 feet tall and Danielle isn't too far behind! Here's some pics of me and the kids!

Date night with the hubby!

Tonight Mike and I went to see "Love Happens" and then went to eat at a new Japanese steakhouse called Hibachi. The movie was good, but not the romantic comedy I was expecting...it was kinda sad and emotional! Definitely good, just different than I thought it would be! The Hibachi place was really good too, entertaining and very yummy! The funny thing was that we saw about 20 of Mike's students there, all eating to celebrate a friend's birthday! All in all, it was a great date night!

Last dinner in Alvarado!

In the past year since Shea has lived in Hillsboro, the girls and I would meet her in Alvarado for dinner at the only Mexican food restaurant in the town! It's been fun, but now Shea, Tyler and Anslee are moving to Brownwood, so Friday night was our last trip to "Ole's"! Nikki and London couldn't make it at the last minute, but Kendall, Hadley and Kendall's mom Kathy and Shea and Anslee and I all had a great time! Here's some pics of our last meal in Alvarado! I sure will miss the Moses family!



Sweet Anslee!



Smiley Hadley!



Mommies & babies!

My Newly Forming Obsession

So this week, due to many of my friend's Facebook statuses, I finally gave in to the curiosity and watched "The Biggest Loser" for the first time...and I loved it! I never thought I would like it, mainly because I never really knew anything about it, but I was curious because so many of my friends love this show. It's very inspiring and emotional, and you find yourself really rooting these contestants on, not just to win the competition, but for their own health and well-being. After watching the first 2 episodes all in one night, I think it is safe to say that I am hooked!
