Happy November and soon December!!

I cannot even explain this month into such words... Only one can truly describe it: CRAZY! The first couple days were alright, then that first saturday we moved into the Robertson's house for 2 whole weeks. We watched their 4 kids, but really it was only 2 since the older boys were pretty much gone all the time. Nevertheless it was still crazy. I've never cooked for 6 people before, how am i suppose to do this? Oh my gosh, i'm so overwhelmed. I change my mind, i'm not having kids! Anyways, those 2 weeks went by quicker then anticipated and i hadn't caught up on everything else I was suppose to do. PRimary lessons, Sacrament talk, laundry, thanksgiving food, birthday shopping, xmas shopping, moving back into our apartment, relief society committee stuff. Gee, a little much dont you think? And it's still not over yet... I've never had such a crazy month in my life. Have you? I'm sure you have, and i dont even have kids yet. YET.

Next up, Aarons 25th Birthday! Kept it pretty low key this year since his surprise bday bash wasn't such a surprise after all... I had work off that day so I went shopping and got him a few presents. Came home, opened his gifts: huge reeses peices cup, sweater, back hand massager which has now coined the phrase "dog me!", socks, gloves, and what not. Then out to SUSHI! THat was a lot of fun :) We love trying new things and that was definitely an experience. Can't even remember all the different types of raw fish i ate. Mackarel, shrimp, tuna, albacore... it was all pretty dang good with an exception of a few on my plate. Then we headed home and watched a movie. That's that. Happy 25th my dearest.

Then Thanksgiving Day, we had originally planned to go to a Soup Kitchen and do some service there but we never could find one locally, and all the places pretty much had done all the food prepping the night before. So we just slept in and ate chocolate for breakfast... like we usually do.... then headed over to Dean (aarons coworker) house for thanksgiving dinner with his family. It was so much fun! We watched the amazing Cowboys vs. Saints game, had some AMAZING food, and played lots of fun games! It truly was a thanksgiving to be thankful for. Since our turkey didnt quite get cooked.... I'll have a go at that on sunday i think.

The countdown begins for our Christmas trip to Utah and Idaho, I could not be more excited! We arrive the 24th and dont leave til the 2nd. It's going to be an awesome trip! I am so looking forward to spending time with both sets of families who conviently live only 3 hrs away from eachother but manage to be in different states. I love my Family, I love my friends, I love the Church, I love my husband and I'm thankful for all of these things too. Oh, and my job too :)

Happy Holidays Everyone
