Lets Play Catch Up

Whew! Things have been such a whirlwind lately. Do you ever stand there and just feel like you are frozen in time but life is just passing you by, quickly I might add. I have felt like this a lot lately. I feel like I am in standing still and everything else is just moving along way to fast. I just want to yell out SLOW DOWN!! Thanksgiving is next week and then Christmas soon after. How can this year already be almost over? It just felt like summer yesterday. Fall always seems to be such a busy time, heck what part of the year isn't a busy time. So lets see I keep this little ol blog just to journal our life and I haven't done a very good job the past couple of weeks.

On October 29 heaven gained a beautiful angel. My grandmother went to be with the Lord. This has been so hard on our family, we are slowly but surely recovering. Thanksgiving I know will be hard for all of us. Its just so hard to have someone there one day and gone the next. I find peace in knowing that now she is my guardian angel watching over me. The first week back home was hard but my heart is starting not to ache any more. We left that Friday morning to head to Alabama and then we were back home on Sunday. Talk about a whirlwind weekend. It was great to see all of my family too. Its sad that it takes a funeral to bring the family together but under whatever circumstances I am so glad we were all together. There is nothing like family!!
Since then Todd has been busy at The Main Event and getting the new downtown venue ready. They had their first wedding reception at Abrams and it was BEAUTIFUL!! I can't believe how the building turned out, it truly looks amazing. We were glad to be able to go to the wedding and reception. Everything was so nice.

This past week Todd was sick and this passed his illness on to me so I spent Thursday in bed all day and finally started feeling better Friday. We spent the weekend buying Christmas decorations and putting up one of our Christmas trees. We decided to put a Christmas tree in our dining room this year and I have to say its my favorite tree. I love the color scheme and the way it turned out. Its "DRAMA" as Todd would say :) Pictures to come, Christmas is a whole other post.

A sneak preview....
We have also been spending lots of time with our precious niece. We are just loving this age. She is so funny and has the best personality. She loves her Uncle Todd and Aunt KK!!

I have also been keeping busy with Stella & Dot. I am loving my side hobby. Its so much fun and I am really loving getting new jewelry in. I recently got these new leather wrap bracelets and I LOVE them. I love how you can dress them up or down. I like to layer mine. Check out all the colors at www.stelladot.com/karah
Oh yah and I got my hair cut. I just needed a change. I loved my hair long and its still semi long. I only cut a few inches off but it grows so fast you won't be able to tell in a few weeks. I love it, its just what I needed :)

I hope everyone is having a great week. Hopefully I will not take another hiatus. I have lots of exciting things coming up and I plan on posting about. : )

XOXO

Quick Catch Up

Just a quick little post to say hi friends! I am still here just super busy. We got back from vacation and Wednesday and I worked 17 hours yesterday and I am going on 10 hours so far today. Woo I am tired. We are headed into Houston tonight to stay with my parents and watch my dad get ordained as a deacon for the Episcopal church tomorrow. What an exciting time for our family! He has worked so hard and his dream is finally coming true. I am so proud of him :) I remember being a little girl and him talking about the idea of wanting to be a priest and I would always say "no way will I ever be a preachers daughter" haha. Well fast forward about 15 years and here I am and I wouldn't have it any other way. He is finally fulfilling his calling.

No recap of The Bachelorette this week, I just don't have time and there really wasn't anything exciting that happened. The worst thing was Kasey singing and him getting that tattoo. Ali has no clue what she is getting herself into.

I promise lots of pictures to come from our short vacation and a full recap. We enjoyed our time in the beautiful state of Oklahoma. It was very pretty and serene in Broken Bow Oklahoma.

Lets see what else is going on in the Stracener household.....Not too much just staying busy. June is always a busy month for us. My birthday is next week so get ready for a countdown and my BFF of 20 years is coming to spend the weekend with me. Can we say fun times? I am super excited!!! I hope you all have a great weekend.

XOXO
