I could go on and ON!

This Thanksgiving was fantastic, one of the best holidays with my family -- we all got to spend time together, and considering it doesn't happen very often- it was a blessing.

What a GREAT day -

So- YESTERDAY was FANTASTIC... Nick was born.. yay! And then Tech BEAT OU!! That was really a great football game, 34-27.. down to the last 31 seconds. GUNS UP Baby!

So, Nick is in the NICU for now- he came 1 month and 2 days early...head strong little guy, he was ready to meet his parents and all the rest of our crazy little family! He is only in the NICU for a little while, my mom has been able to go see him and hold his little hand. I am so happy that she is down there with Craig and Jill, Frankie is also in town- back from Australia JUST IN TIME! I absolutely can't wait to get to Houston... Wednesday better get her QUICK!

Thanks to all my friends who called to send their best wishes... and call me -Aunt Ashley- I LOVE IT! :)

I went tailgating with Brandi and her friends, tons of fun. This pic is probably right around when Nick was born!

Okay, back to reading for MKT- here is a weird happening.. the chapter I am supposed to read (ch. 3,4,11) 3 is gone.. seriously the book goes from pg.44 straight to pg.77.... WHY ? I have no idea. Also, there is no place in the spine where the pages have been ripped out- goes directly to the page 77, but the words do not match up. I am in a little of a pickle.. luckily Brandi is going to let me read CH.3 tomorrow morning. EEK!

Here is a pic of Big for your viewing pleasure: He is wearing his "Local Celebrity" tee!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Nicholas Starr has ARRIVED!!!
YaY! I am an AUNT! He is a healthy, happy little boy and I can't wait see him next week! He is here just in time for Thanksgiving-- :)



I will post a picture as soon as I have one... until then I just wanted to share the FANTASTIC NEWS!



Here is a pic of the proud parents and Grandma!

What a fantastic day!!!
