Orange trees

Mom and grandma got a small orange from a tree in Charleston. Mom and are going to plant a few seeds to see what happens. Wish us luck!

Stimulating the Economy

Here is part of our loot from our Black Friday shopping. We got some things from Target, Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Kohl's, JC Penny, and Belk. Not seen in the picture, as I have to wait for a truck to bring it home, is a TV stand for my new tv (that is still in the box until I move into my new place) and a massaging recliner/rocking chair! No, it isn't one of the fancy ones from places like Brookstone or Sharper Image, but it is nice, all leather and comfy. I cannot wait to move into the new place (keep your fingers crossed that it will be available this weekend or next).

Black Friday at Target

We got here at just after 4 am for shopping deals this morning. The line is huge already this year, and the store doesn't open until 5! Last year, the line wasn't this long, and we only arrived about 30 minutes before the store opened.

Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to take the time to say Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my wonderful friends and family. I am thankful that I have a great job and great coworkers. I will be going to spend time with family and eat some great food! Happy Thanksgiving!

My Nephews!

My mom and stepdad kept my nephews on Saturday night (while I was at the movies), and took these pictures of them. They are now about 7 1/2 months old now, and starting to look more and more alike. James is in the green sleeper and David is in the red sleeper.

New Moon

I went to go see New Moon tonight (the second installment of the Twilight Saga), and it was great. It was so much better than the first movie. It was also nice going out with friends for the night. The theater had this cute sign outside, and the ticket guy looked similar to 'Edward' and had his name tag that actually said 'Edward'! It was a fun night.

New phone

Here is a picture of my new phone, Verizon's Droid. So far I love this phone! It has GPS, internet, e-mail, and all sorts of fun things. I also love how it says 'Droid' in a robotic voice whenever I get a text message, so much fun.

Video From Carolina Opry

Here is a video from the Christmas show at The Carolina Opry. Here is an act where it was a 'one man band' singing "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer." It is too funny! You really must go check out this show if you are in or near Myrtle Beach, it is so much fun!

Downtown Wilmington

Downtown Wilmington is already starting to get ready for the holidays. Here is a picture of the lights on the streets. We had a great time and great food at Reel Cafe!

The Carolina Opry Christmas Show

Since we are in Wrightsville Beach this weekend, we drove down the road to Myrtle Beach for the Carolina Opry's Christmas Show this afternoon. It started at 1 and wasn't over until 4, and it was a blast! It features a lot of things that I remember from the past, but also some new performances. Calvin Gilmore also made an appearance and sang some old favorite Christmas songs. It was a beautiful, fun, and exciting performance that we all really enjoyed.

New TV

Here is my new tv packed into the bed of a truck. It is a 55 inch LED, LCD tv with all kinds of bells and whistles. I am very excited to get this tv, but unfortunately, I'm not going to get to open it or get to play with it until I get settled into the new place. It is a huge box though!
