NEW LOOT

Whenever I go home for the holidays I always come home with something. But what I brought home this week are some of my favorites in a while! My grandmother gave me some pressed glass. Three separate pieces actually.
The one in the middle is thousand eye, the one on the left in Vaseline glass, but Im not sure about the one on the far right...

Another picture of the Vaseline glass, these are the ones that are supposed to glow green under a black light because of the uranium in it. Yes, I know, uranium is radioactive. I can promise you it is only trace amounts. ;)

How was everyone else's thanksgiving? Did you come home with anything fun?

Oh, I love this.

Things I did on Thanksgiving day.

Ate LOTS and LOTS of food. My family has a really traditional thanksgiving...we don't mess around with that new 'updated' thanksgiving food...we just stick to what we know is good...:) (that would include but not be limited to: Turkey, dressing (home-made casserole style), green bean casserole, squash casserole, cranberry sauce (from the can...I know Im weird but its my favorite), rolls, pecan pie, fruit salad, and chocolate meringue pie) 

Caught up on some much needed play time with the dogs...Maggie my mothers basset hound loved getting to see Ralphie (my miniature dachshund). And our rescue Baxter had great fun too. :)

Found a bunch of cool old records in my moms old closet. (The Beatles white album was one of the coolest).

Watched A&M BTHO t.u.!!!!!!! ;) Sorry Texas fans, I had to put this one up...and look at that pretty lady! We love you Miss Rev!!!! So proud to be an Aggie today!

730 DAYS OF PURE HAPPINESS.

Thats right, Jesse and I have been together for exactly two years today! I still remember our first date perfectly...it was a Friday, and we drove over to a small town about 30 minutes away. I remember it was cold, because I was wearing my winter coat, but Jesse still had sandals on! I could tell he was so coooold but he wouldn't admit it. We had lunch at a little bistro; we held hands for the first time as we walked in. 
It seems like nothing now, but I was so nervous at the time. I was afraid to eat in front of him, so I barely took two bites of my sandwich even though I was starving! After lunch we walked around the square and looked in all of the little shops. I had to run in and by a birthday gift for a friend, and Jesse INSISTED on buying it for me. It was pretty cute. :) We were having so much fun, we didn't want to leave, but I had to work later that day, so he took me back to my house. He gave me a little kiss by the front door before I walked in. 
For the rest of the day at work all I could think about was him. Daydreaming the whole time. I probably didn't get such wonderful tips that day! The next day Jesse came over. It was the first time he had come in my house, and we had to sit in the formal living room. It was so funny. We held hands and he asked if I was his girlfriend. I guess y'all can guess what I said! I know what your thinking, isn't just one day/date a little soon to start dating? But Jesse and I had known each other for a year or two already and we had been best friends for most of those years. It just took us a while to realize. (I liked him, and he liked me, but we never actually told each other, so I didn't think he liked me, and vise versa).
Anyway, I could go on and on about all of this mushy stuff for ever, but I think I have rambled on enough for the day! 
So, in short, I love you so much babe! Your the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, and I can't wait for many more years to come! :)
