Thanksgiving 2k11

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! Ryan and I headed to Manning last Wednesday night. We were blessed to have our entire family there- Mom, Ken, Little Ken, Quin, Angie, Acie, Mae Harmon, Elizabeth, Tripp, Eadon, Ragin, Anna & Davis....Quite a crew!!! It was a blast. We all went to the pond house with the extended family for Thanksgiving day. We had a delicious meal where you could pick from baked turkey, fried turkey or bbq turkey, the best sweet potato casserole, peas, rice, dressing, cranberry sauce, ham, fruit salad, biscuits...and it was all delicious. We had chocolate delight for dessert.

It was a bittersweet time because it was our first holiday without our sweet Daddy Scott. We were all sad, but we tried to think of how happy he would have been to be with all of us and how much he loved his family. We took some time to celebrate his memory and enjoy one of his favorite spots-the pond.

The boys fished for a very long time and Ryan caught a TON of fish. We rode four-wheelers around the farm and just hung out, laughed and talked. The boys went hunting in the afternoon, and Quin and Acie got a buck. They were sitting in the same stand and shot it together....such a cool memory.  Here are some pics..

Friday night we celebrated Christmas. It was a little tough to get it all together before Thanksgiving, but I am thankful we could celebrate in person together because the Hatfield clan will be in Chicago this year. Saturday most of the family went to the Clemson-Carolina game but I got sick so I didn't go. I did get some quality time with Mama Scott which was good though. And, Go Gamecocks!!!

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a...

Praises!!!!

I found out this morning that I passed the board exam! I am beyond thankful for this blessing. All the time I was studying I was in a cloud of doubt...wondering if the PA profession was right for me, what would I do if I failed, how was I ever going to get through it? But, this process brought me to my knees in new ways. I prayed each day for His strength to bring His work to completion. This was the verse that I would repeat throughout the days of studying and it is so special to me: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great." -Psalm 18:35 The Lord answers prayer. This small prayer about helping give me success with the boards to bigger prayers about salvation for our loved ones and healing for those who are sick. We serve a God who hears us....HOW AMAZING!! He stoops down to uphold us in His right hand. Trust in Him today, friends. He IS surely big enough for anything you can lay at His feet. He hears you an...
