Update Time!

Well, it has been eight months since I was last here. I have been so busy lately that I had pretty much forgot to even get on this site. So, here's a little peek inside what's going on with the Pannell's.

This summer, we traveled. A LOT. Four beach trips and a trip to South Carolina. This was one of my favorite summers so far. Vacations are so wonderful, and we had a great time with all our amazing friends. The best part, two of our trips were FREE.

In July, I started in the ADHP, or Alabama Dental Hygiene Program, or, as our instructor so fondly refers to it, the worst year of my life. The first couple of tests were extremely difficult, but, as of today, I have an "A" average. I can not wait to finish in May. Prayers are welcome!

On October 17, we celebrated our ONE YEAR Anniversary, and let me just say, my husband is simply the best. From the ridiculously huge display of flowers I received at work, to our night on the town, followed by old cake and Pepsi in our champagne glasses, it was simply a wonderful day. I'm so blessed to be married to my best friend, and I am so thankful God put us together.

In November, my parents gave us a cat. It took a lot of begging, but James loves her almost as much as I do. Ella is so much fun, and fit in almost instantly. Even the pup, Eddie, loves her. We celebrated three Thanksgivings, which having so many places to go shows just a glimpse of how blessed we truly are.

Now, it's December. The trees are up. The stockings are hung. The Christmas cards have been ordered, and per hubby's request, have not been dated in case I forget to mail them! The presents, well, the presents need to be bought! Somebody should really get that started.
