My Favorite Late Christmas Gift

Laura Slaunwhite, Natalie Theakston, Nicole Young, Kerry Miller and Me, Karen Bing

So I'm a very lucky girl and I know it because I've been blessed with the best husband, a great family, and wonderful friends at school, work, and church. I have to say I'm especially lucky to have my group of girls from High School, we've been friends really since elementary school, and we always make sure to get together at least once a week, and that day would be Thursday's. We call is Survivor night and it's the FUNNEST night. We play games, eat yummy treats and of course watch our shows, the main two being Survivor and Grey's. We are especially excited for survivor this season because it's fans verse favorites...which means half the people will be survivor all-stars....sooooooo excited.

The reason this post is called my favorite late Christmas Gift, is because my friend nicole surprised us all this January. She called me from out west so I thought two Thursday's ago...and within an hour she was in my store surprising me, only Laura knew she was coming. She wanted to come home during the holidays, but it was to expensive, so she came in January. So the night she arrived we went to girls night and she gave us our Christmas Gifts. We all opened them at the same time, and they were Team Thursday T-shirts!!! Once we opened them she took off her coat to show us hers. We all have our own colors, and they have our initials in the corner...for more pictures check out my facebook. We'd always talked about making t-shirts and now we have them. I've always wanted a made t-shirt and now I have one...so exciting!!

Not much to update everyone with yet...Brandon and I are applying to schools still, and work has slowed down. We've been getting in some amazing new things and such cute baby clothes...for all my friends having babies I can't wait to buy baby shower gifts!!! We finally found out who our new manager will be, Laura will be joining our team and we're excited to have her. I'm excited to have a manager again, so I don't have so much on my plate, especially since new stock is arriving and I'll be doing visual a lot more. I've been volunteering at my old elementary school and loving it. I've been working with the ESL kids and enjoying them so much, it's such a rewarding feeling when they get it and learn something new. Wanda who is the teacher is such a sweetie and we have a great time. I really hope we get accepted to school so I can have my own little class some day soon!
