I am back. Well maybe.
Okay I am going to try again and see if I can keep up with blogging the life of the Turner's. Now that I am doing real estate and teaching part time, maybe I can swing it. I really want to do it because it is so much fun to be able to look back and see where we have been and what we have done. So we will see how it goes!

Thanksgiving
This was one of the best Thanksgiving's in awhile. We spent alot of time with family. Matthew and Marti got to spend several days so that was nice. Luke and Carrie also got to be around more than usual and they are always fun. I think it is great that they live next door to my parents. We played alot of Rock Band, ate good food, and played games. The kids loved getting to spend several nights at Nana's and Papa's. We had lunch with MiMi and Pops and dinner at my parents. The kids had a good time playing in the leaves with Colin and Gavin. Friday, Brian and I went out at 4:30 am for some shopping. That was a lot of fun. We were able to get Jackson a really neat Lego set for Christmas. Later that day the whole fam went to eat Mexican food and the girls went to paint pottery. Reagan finished a star plate very quickly. I painted salt and pepper shakers, mom a tissue box cover, Carrie a plate to match her kitchen, and Marti a platter of her, Matthew, and the animals. Saturday we headed to San Angelo to see Nonnie. She was good. She was glad to see Brian. They had not see each other in several years. Some of us played 42 while we were there. On the way to San Angelo we stopped to eat at Louwake Steak House. By the end of the weekend I was exhausted.
Mom's Birthday is Thursday and then Reagan's is next Wednesday. I think we are going to have her party at Chucky Cheese. Brian thinks it is a terrible idea and I am not a fan of it myself. But I think it will be very simple and Reagan will love it. We tried to talk Reagan out of a birthday party but she did not think that was a good idea.

San Antonio Marathon
I just got back from San Antonio where I got to run in a 1/2 marathon. So many things about the trip were great and I am so thankful that Brian and my family made it possible for me to go. I just think back to when we lived in TN and I would have never gotten to do something like this. I had no high expectations for this run and was not even sure if I would do it. I try to quit twice along the way but ended up finishing and now I feel great. Meredith made the trip with me and it was great to get to know her better. Then we stayed with my friend Ann and it was great to get to see her. As Meredith said, she was the hostess with the mostess. I am so thankful that I know Ann (a very neat sweet person.) At the start of the race we met up with Ashley and another one of her friends from Abilene and all started together. After the race when all you want to do is lay down we had to stand in a what seemed like a forever long line to catch a bus back to our car. On the way home we missed one of our turns and took a little 32 min detour but all in all the trip was great. I will not be ready to start the week tomorrow.
I beat Brian and the kids home and I am anxiously awaiting for them to get here so I can love on them. I miss the so much when were apart.

October is Over
Saturday Jackson spent the night with Luke and Carrie. He got sick at his stomach while he was there so when we picked him up we went home and he slept most of the day. The kids love Luke and Carrie and they are so good to them. I felt really bad that Carrie had to clean up after him. She is so sweet and made me feel like it was ok.
This week has been really busy. We have left the house before 7am everyday and not gotten home till 8pm or later. Everybody is really tired but it was fun. Tuesday was Jackson's school Fall Carnival. One of the things we did was go on a hay ride and as we where sitting there on the hay waiting to go Reagan wanted to know if we where going to see hay. They had a silent auction and Jackson wanted so bad to bid on a decorated pumpkin. So he picked the ugliest one because no one had bid on it and won.
Mom and Dad were in New York the first part of the week and we were all excited to see them when they got back. Thursday we went to there house for dinner. Mom made chicken and dumplings and a great salad. She sent me leftovers for lunch today. I usually don't each lunch because it is to much trouble and I have yet to master cooking. My mom is such a great cook and we always had the best meals growing up. At the time I did not know how lucky we were. I am sure I am her least favorite to cook for because I am the worst eater out of my brothers and me. Tonight we will go trick or treating and hopefully sleep late tomorrow.

I love these guys
I just have to say how much I love Jackson and Reagan. They are so much fun and I love hanging out with them. They are both just such neat individuals and I am so blessed to get to have them in my life.
I made it through my first week of working full time. I am exhausted but it went good. Reagan loves getting to go to school everyday. Yesterday she was telling me about having a "tomatoes drill" at school. She said they had to put carpet squares on their heads. It made me laugh to think about all these little kids holding carpet squares on their heads. She was especially excited to get to participate in show and tell. She packed a whole backpack full of stuff but only got to share one thing.
Jackson had his last soccer game today. He played great and had a great season. He really worked hard and had a lot of fun. This was a big change from his football season last year. He is doing great in school. He was telling all he had learned about bats and how they are nocturnal and use echolocation. With my new job he gets to ride the bus to my school and thinks that is fun.
Next week will be really busy with Halloween activities...the fall carnival, trunk or treat, and trick or treating. The kids are super excited.
