25. and finally......we are thankful for each other!!

we had a great trip to arizona this past week and we loved the wonderful weather there! it was so nice to just relax and visit with family. i made bobby go shopping to kohls on black friday with me....we were going to go at 4:30 am so that we could get out of there fast and get back home and sleep but when i tried to wake him up he told me multiple times that he was not going to go. of course...he conveniently doesnt remember any of this. but we did end up going around 9 with my sister dani and other than the extremely long line to check out....the trip was a success!

we had beautiful weather on thanksgiving day and it was fun to continue the brooksby family tradition of eating thanksgiving dinner out back by the pool. i just love arizona! we are so grateful to my family for a great week...especially to my dad for driving up to come and get us! we have the best families ever! now we just have to make it through the next few weeks and then we get to head to iowa/illinois to visit bobbys family! im going to have my very first cold and most likely white christmas! we cant wait!

oh yeah....while i was in arizona a friend of mine who reads our blog was like..."so did you pass your test?" so yeah....i totally forgot to say that i wont find out how i did on the praxis until december 15. so im not hiding the fact that i failed yet! haha. thanks candra! :)

here are some of our favorite pics from arizona.....happy holidays!!
