Just Playing Catch Up

A late Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!!!  I've been a bit slack these days, but I do have an excuse or so I think it's a pretty good excuse.  My parents and big bro were in town the week of Thanksgiving and this week at school has been one of the worst, no kidding!  I defended my research project/thesis on Monday and the family and hubby were able to make it to that which was wonderful!  Getting the research project/thesis out of the way is a huge accomplishment!  Now just one year left of school and I am home free! 

While the family was here, my big bro and I ran in a Thanksgiving Day 8k race.  It was his first race and I was honored to share that experience with him.  He truly is one of my very best friends and a passion for running is something we share.  A few pics from the race.

After crossing the finish.......I might have been a little eager to finish!

Thanksgiving lunch picture!  My favorite boys!

Also, while the family was in town we had family pictures made.  We haven't had a good family picture made since the hubby and I got married 5 years ago.  So, we had my friend that took the Morgan family pictures do the same for my side of the family.  Again, she made us all look so much better than we are!

We had a really good week! So glad they were all able to make it!  My big bro and I talked the parents into not buying Christmas presents this year (the momma has a tendency to go WAY over the top with gifts) and taking a trip as a family!  We are headed to Islamorada, Florida in 10 days! 

That's the end of playing catch up.......................I'll just keep up next time
