Happy Turkey Day!

We have had a  really busy past two weeks but I’m so glad that there was a holiday in there. Last week Matt and I made a trip to St. Louis for an Ag and Technical Education conference. Matt made two presentations and to his surprise he received an award from OTT (a national masters and above honor society) for most outstanding thesis work from a Master’s student. I have known about it for about a month, but Matt didn’t know. It was a real honor and really validated a lot of the work he put into his masters paper and research. He really wants to get his doctorate, but we are still weighing the pros and cons of it.

This week was yet another short week because of the wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. The weather was great!! We were able to spend some time outside and had a lot of fun. We met my parents, grandparents and great aunt and uncle for breakfast at Cracker Barrel on Thursday morning. We have done this the past few years and it has been so nice. We then followed it up with a huge lunch at Gimme and Poppa’s (Matt’s parents). Friday Matt and his father worked on the farm and I stayed in with Margaux. Saturday Matt joined some friends for a bike ride. Margaux and I met up with them for a few minutes while they enjoyed a bite at Blondie’s in downtown Clarksville. Later that day we took family photo’s and ventured out near the mall for a few stops and some dinner. Sunday we did some chores around the house and Mommy took a good long nap.

We had a really nice laidback holiday. I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving too. We have a lot to be thankful for.
