Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green chili (Pueblo style!!!), corn, pies, and soooo much more!!!! It was a GLORIOUS day of eating!!! I just loved it!!! Spending time with my family and friends, was a great time in my life. I was able to remember all the things I'm so greatful for in my life. The people I have in my life such as my family, my friends, pastor and first lady, church, and my awesome and adorable boyfriend that I can't wait to see on Christmas!!!!
Then Friday, we all set up our Christmas decorations. Set up our WHITE CHRISTMAS TREE!!! I just love it, it's so beautiful, white with red decorations...! Then some friends and family came over and we just celebrated Thanksgiving again, it was fun. Later on we went out SHOPPING...!!!!! WOOHOO!!! I was able to buy my brother's and my awesome boyfriend some of their gifts. Along with a few things for me and my mom. Then I treated my mom, cousins and a friend to Olive Garden. It was pretty good, and I had fun with all of them. I love them all very much!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving!!! "Gobble-Gobble"
I just can not wait for this Thanksgiving. Yes, I enjoy the other holidays but Thanksgiving is just seriously one of my favorites!!! This is the one time of year that I really get to enjoy the holiday with the majority of my family. All of my aunts and uncles getting together at my house, along with my cousins and now some coming with their little families they started. My grandma and grandpa coming over. And there are always friends droppin' by to say hello and get some green chili. Yummy! Then the following Friday night, our Youth goes to help the other families eat their left overs, going from house to house starting with salads at the first house, soup at another, appetizers at another, dinner at another and then dessert at the last house where we all stay and party and play games!!! It's gonna be a great but most-likely cold Thanksgiving, but when free food is involved we can't say no to that!
My favorite Thanksgiving foods are, Turkey (woohoo), mashed potatoes, corn and green chili. I'm not big on sweets but pies are always good and me and my friend this year are going to make pies at her house, plus one of my aunts always makes these awesome pies!!!
But besides eating (hehe) my favorite thing to do during this time is to spend it with the people I love and the ones I care most about. This year is just going to be so great! Right before Thanksgiving this year, God put a few special people in my life as new friends and some old friends. Friends for life, that's for sure. This year I get to spend my Thanksgiving with all that was listed in the first paragraph and one of my new friends for sure.
I'm so thankful that God placed my family and my friends in my life. I want to thank each and every one of them so much for just being great and doing all that they can to be by my side and with my family in times of need. Or even when they just had a burden to be a blessing. I'd be lost with out you all. I love you all very much! Thanks for another or for some of you a new and awesome year. I pray that we have many more blessed years together!
Then after Thanksgiving - shopping for CHRISTmas!!! Woohoo!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!! I pray that you have a great one and enjoy the time you have with the people God placed in your life!

God Answers Our Prayers!!!
I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your prayers for my uncle. I got news today that he got out of surgery at 2:30 a.m...! The doctors got 99% of the cancer and that the 1% they can get with radiation and that he'll be just fine...! PRAISE GOD!!!!! He will be in ICU for the next couple of days but thankfully God heard our prayers and guided the surgeons hands! And above all else, gave my uncle one more chance to make things right with God. Now let's just pray that God soon fills him and the rest of the family with the Holy Ghost!!!
Again, THANK YOU!!!

Prayer Request
Hey ya'll this is just a little prayer request. I tried to post this earlier, but complications with the hospital's wifi wouldn't allow me to access my page to post...ugh...anyway...
I am asking for prayer for my Uncle Tommy and his family. He, if you don't know yet, has Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cancer - which affects the cells at the surface of the skin. The thing is that it went to his ear that now it's in his brain. He went so long with it untreated thinking it was just an ear ache that it became very dangerous and deadly. In October he had surgery but the doctors were only able to get 52% of the cancer. They were scared to go in any further because the tumor was on the brain wall and they said it's too dangerous so they would continue with radiation and wait until Nov. 10 to try and get the rest. Well, Nov. 10 has come and go, and we were at the hospital all day. And by the time I left which was about 8:30 P.M. he was still in the O.R. He was in surgery way longer than they said which was only to be a 12 hour surgery.
If you don't remember, my aunt Lucille was dying from a kidney failure and was very sick. Well, God allowed my uncle Tommy to be a match and he donated his kidney to my aunt. To this day my aunt is still alive and doing well for all that she's been through. But now it's my uncle and again he is going through another major operation.
He was stable when we left and the last surgeon was working on him. We are still in need of prayer for him and the family. Especially for his salvation above anything else. This seems to have been a wake up call as my mom and I have been able to see an open door and witness to him and he's actually listening. So please help us pray that my uncle and aunt and their sons/families see the miracle power of our God, Jesus and that their hearts be open to God and they receive the Holy Ghost...!
Thanks again, and I will continue to keep you posted with the progress.
