splish, splash..

my husband was taking a bath?!

That's right, poor Mr. Drake is SICK. I mean he really is sick, obviously. What 24 (going on 25) year old man takes baths?! He tells me its very soothing, but really I feel bad for him. He worked his entire thanksgiving break and then comes home from work Saturday night sick as a dog. Knowing that being sick never has perfect timing, this time was no exception. He, being the dedicated pharmacy student he is, has a TON of studying to do to prepare for finals. Poor buddy. Prayers are appreciated!!

Well, aside from the sickly news, hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! We sure did! Joseph and I  spent out very first married thanksgiving together, and what did I forget?! THE camera! Oh well. Tons of memories were made and if anyone knows my family well (I mean really well) this was our first NORMAL thanksgiving in a while! Whew! Thats good for us. We enjoyed the Bradford's thanksgiving lunch and wonderfulness and then around supper time we stuffed our faces again with the Drake's thanksgiving dinner. Both were delightful and share their own uniqueness. There were a lot of changes for both sides this year. For the Bradford's, first Joseph and I slept together the night before in my parent's house, and our new dog, Mr. Bentley! He's the cutest little rascal dog I've ever ONLY had! He really is adorable and adds a little excitement and joy to the Bradford family. For the Drake's, Miss Audrey Grace is the bright full of joy! We absolutely adore her and she is precious (yes, I am kicking myself for not having any pics). I will be sure to have my camera for Christmas, no worries.

After Thursday, was IRON BOWL! We enjoyed the (tense) game with our closest friends and had a great time. We were also able to see our friends Caleb and Laura. Caleb shot our wedding. Joseph and Caleb have been friends since high school (maybe earlier?) and I have enjoyed becoming friends with them myself! They are expecting their first baby in April and they were able to go on a road trip (I mean road trip! 4 weeks and like 20 states) and we got to talk about their adventures and amazing things they got to see. We have such different lives, but that makes our friendship even better. Maybe one day, Joseph and I will be cool like Caleb and Laura! :)

Joseph and I enjoyed our family time and we cherish every moment. As for the next couple of weeks, study, study, study, for the Drake household, but there is a time for everything, and relaxing and playing isn't it!! I hope to finish decorating the house for Christmas after my final next Monday and hope to post pics. Hope you have a wonderful week!
