Off to Florida!

First of all, I am going to be gone to Florida all next week spending some quality time with my family. šŸ™‚ I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!!! Also, please help me support my fellow James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes as they are the first lined up marching band in the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade! WOHOOO GO DUKES! They begin at 9 a.m. and their Harold Square performance is at 10 a.m.! You better believe I’ll have my TV on in Florida cheering for them reminding me of the last Macy*s Thanksgiving Parade we marched back in 2008! šŸ™‚

Sigh… brings back AMAZING memories of being apart of this FANtastic organization! Seriously, the best time of my life! Now I get to be apart of the audience and envy their performance this year!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving week!!! I’ll be back in the swing of emails December 2nd! Gosh, seems so far away!!! Enjoy! xoxo
