Damion was nearing the end of his semester and preparing for tests, and I was busy with my new work schedule - trying to balance time spent with my oils and helping my friends with that, then working in the afternoons at the childcare center. We battled the sniffles a couple of times, but things were moving along smoothly.
Mid-month, Damion had a weekend off just in time for me to feel like I needed time to veg out on the couch. So, add that to some much needed brother hang out time and you get a photo like this...
Dustin, a man who shoves scissors up his nose, and Damion
all enjoying the Texas Renaissance Festival.
Here's a photo I took one afternoon after work. This is our back parking lot, and I turned around to see this after taking out the trash. I had to stand there and stare for a few moments. :o) Amazing!
Suddenly, it was time for Thanksgiving! Damion's family all joins up together at his Grandmother's house. There was lots of delicious food, of course, and we usually end up playing games and sitting around talking for a bit.
Elaina and her daddy, Uncle Jamie, worked on her makeup for the festivities.
Quelf is a big favorite of ours! Hilarious.. you should check it out!
We finally had some room for dessert.
Elaina is having some of my carrot cake, but she wanted us to have some water and lemon.

Now we're just being silly!
The end of the Thanksgiving weekend offered up the opportunity to see another friend. One of my very best friends, Hallie, was visiting her family in west Florida, so we met up and had a suuuuper long lunch in Biloxi, MS. It was such refreshment to my soul to see her! <3 <3 <3
If you're having a long lunch in Biloxi, it may as well be at a casino.
We ended up having the great blessing of relaxing that evening in Biloxi for the night! What a nice treat!! So, on the way home on Sunday, we decided to dip down into New Orleans just to drive around for a couple of hours since it was such a pretty day! Here's some of our carside adventures via iPhone photos. :o)
And next, we rush right into December!
