10 Year Reunion

In October I had my 10 year High School Reunion.  It is so hard to believe 10 years has come and gone.  I'm not the same person I was back then, I've grown, and matured, and now see the world through a whole new set of eyes.  I graduated with a class of 53 (that is tiny compared to most) and out of 53 students I think about 15 actually showed up.  It was nice to see old friends.  We toured the halls and class rooms and everything seemed so small.  It's funny because when we were in High School we were the ones that felt small.  It's pretty funny how a little time and a little life can make your perceptions change.

THANKSGIVING

Okay, I know what you are thinking... "Thanksgiving? We just celebrated Christmas." What can I say, I'm doing good to be updating the blog at all. I've been recovering from the worst sinus infection I've ever had, and the holidays, working, taking care of Caedmon, yada, yada.

For Thanksgiving our family went to Tyler, TX. We stayed with Derric's sister, Janae, and husband, Jeremy and their new addition, Addison (about 4 months). It was a very relaxing few days and it was nice to catch up with Janae and Jeremy. For Thanksgiving Day we got together at Nana and Grandady's house (Charlotte and Randy) and were able to catch up with the rest of the family. BOY! has the Rankins family grown. We have a total of 3 new babies and 1 toddler, and Derric's brother, Eric just welcomed a new little girl to the world a week or two before Christmas. We have many things to be thankful for.
