Day 3

I'm thankful for my husband and best friend, Leven. We met just a little over 7 years ago and fell in love fast. We met and were married 8 months later.

Before we even started dating, I had a seizure in front of him while we were playing golf one day. Freaked him out! We didn't even know each other that well but he was practically all I had at the time. My family and friends were not in Mexia with me and I was there all alone. I will never forget that day. It scared him to death. He took me home (no hospital for me and I told him this) and I passed out. I slept for hours. Your body is so broken and worn out after having a seizure (something else I told him) so he stayed at my house all day making sure I was ok. At first I felt it was a little weird (again, I didn't know him that well and he was pretty much my boss) but after the fact, I thought it was really sweet and caring. Long story short.....the next 6 weeks I was told not to drive, anywhere....doctors orders. So, guess who volunteered to drive me around....yup, Leven. He took me to work every morning then brought me home. He took me to the bank, grocery store, etc. I would cook for him and Trever in return. I spent a lot of time with he and Trever during those 6 weeks and that's our love story. Didn't take long.

He makes me laugh and keeps a smile on my face. Marriage is not easy. Gosh, we've had some really low times as well. But I truly believe that God put Leven in my life at the right time and I was put in he and Trever's life at the right now. And this is why I'm thankful.

It's what's for dinner

Do you like deer meat?

As the older I get the more I LOVE it. This weekend kicks off deer season and I'm hoping daddy brings home some meat this year!

Tonight we are headed to Tatum to watch the football game. Then we will probably just stay the night with my sister.

Day 2: I'm thankful for my family. A big one it is, but that's what I love about it. Tomorrow we will spend all day at the deer camp eating fish, sitting around the fire, laughing, and enjoying one another!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Month of Thanks

Everyday I will try my hardest to post why I'm thankful. Each day will be different. So here's to the 1st: I am thankful today for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Last night we took Tay house to house collecting candy. Leven, Trever and I each took turns getting out of the car walking her to door to door. She had a ball. If you weren't walking with Tay then you were riding.










Today Leven and Trever FINALLY ordered his letterman's jacket. He should've done it last year but he didn't think he wanted one. So we talked him into it. So the big Levster had to get his OLD jacket out for show and tell! I won't lie, I got mine out too!

Happy Halloween

Trick or treat is tonight. Can't wait to get sick on all Taydem's candy! She was excited to wear her bunny rabbit costume again this morning. Gosh, today feels great, right? My parents are finally making their way home from Tennessee! They've been missed.


The Lady Pirates lost last night. First time in a long time Leven didn't make it past the first round. He was bummed. But you just have to pick yourself up and move on.

Hunting season has begun. Love this time of year. This Saturday we are heading down to my Aunt and Uncles deer camp for a fish fry and tons of laughter! My family is my rock!

The pics below explains why I LOVE kindergarten!

Sweetness

First up-----prayers for the east coast. Crazy crazy freakish weather happening
I took a few pictures of Leven jumping with Taydem on the trampoline this past weekend. For one it was just plain sweet to watch and second because that was the first and probably last time I will ever catch Leven on a trampoline!!!












Volleyball season is starting to come to an end I'm afraid. We play our first game of playoffs tonight against Royce City. If we win we will advance to the next round and that game will probably be Thursday or Friday.
It's so hard to believe October is almost over.
Did I ever mention Trevers grades?? He is taking two duel credit classes (which means it counts as a college class as well!) He made a 100 in college algebra and a 100 in college government!!! Yes, you read that correctly! Super proud of him. He started basketball practice last week. Here we go.....
I will leave y'all with a few more pictures. Happy Tuesday.
One more thing: GO VOTE!

Dallas Cowgirls

I love sports! But I've never been a huge "team" sport fanatic. I enjoy watching whoever is playing or really, whoever Leven is watching!  Of course I would choose any Texas team over another team, but I'm not all crazy about a certain Texas team.  So every time the Dallas Cowboys or Texas Rangers are playing, I would rather read everyone's status updates on facebook about how they are playing.  There are some huge haters out there.  The minute Tony Romo is doing bad, everyone talks crap about him and the team.  The minute they start doing well, those same people are pulling for them again.  Cracks me up! So I don't really care out of Baylor, Texas or A&M or even Tech....I pull for them all.  But this picture cracks me up:

happy monday folks!

Playing dress up is FUN

So we went to another Halloween costume party last night. Fun times with fun friends. Last weekend while we were at our first Halloween party there was a couple dressed as cheerleaders! I just had to get my hands on those uniforms. Leven Barker as a cheerleader.....perfect in every way! So I made some calls and got the uniforms for us. But the hardest part was getting Leven in that cheer uniform. He was the best sport about it and finally agreed to it. We had a blast at the party. Here are some pictures.
























I want to send a Happy Birthday shout out to my fabulous mother in law, Ann!! Love you!!! Have a good day!
