Ok life has been really busy lately; we've had to figure a lot of things out with our future because... Derrick got into Grad School!! We found out several weeks ago, but I have been so busy trying to get things squared away that I haven't had time to update. We are really excited and can't wait to start this next chapter. The day we got the great news I tried to be a "crafty/creative" wife. I wanted to make a celebration cake for Derrick and I wanted it to be the Texas Tech colors with the Logo; but as you can see by the picture it didn't work very well. I ran out of butter, so I tried to make colored frosting from powdered sugar and milk; I added too much milk and couldn't get enough powdered sugar in it to thicken it. Runny frosting coupled with a warm cake didn't make for such a pretty design! I am not proud of this cake, but I had to post it just because it looks funny!!

Oh, Thanksgiving was fun, it ended up being just the three of us. We were supposed to go to Dallas to be with our friends, but unfortunately Derrick had to stay around here to watch the property. Oh the joys of being a property manager; needless to say that just made us even more excited to start school! This Christmas will be the first Christmas in 3 1/2 years that we won't have to be on call! We no longer have to dread hearing our cell phone ring; life will be good!!
