Thanksgiving

Adam and Emily(my sister in law).

Taking our annual Thanksgiving picture.

Dan and I had a great Thanksgiving. This year we had it with Dan's family. It was also nice because Dan had from Wed to Sunday off so we actually got to see each other and spend some time together. Thanksgiving morning we slept in for a bit and enjoyed not having to get out of bed. Then I worked out because I wanted to eat lots of Thanksgiving dinner. Then we put up the Christmas Decorations. Then at 1 we went and saw the new Christmas Carol movie with Jim Carey. It was pretty good... kind of scary though. I think some little kids would be scared. But it was still fun becaus it got us in the holiday spirit. Then we headed over to Dan's parents house. We got there around 3 and were not eating til about 5. Well we just hung out and played the Wii and Louise and I played May I. Then the rest of the family came about 5.Well the turkey wasn't quite done yet so we just talked and patiently waited for the Turkey to get done. Finally about 6:15 we actually sat down to eat. But it was really good food and everyone got a long and we had a really nice time.

Friday and Saturday I had to work but, we did get to go see a play at the Sugar Factory playhouse on Saturday night. We saw the Miracle on 34th Street. It was a really good show. And it was a great way to kick of the Christmas Season!!!! Anyway Dan and I are very thankful for everything we have been given this year. We are very thankful for our families and great friends who do so much for us!!! Only 25 days til Christmas... can't believe how fast it is coming.

Catch up

I can't believe that this week is Thanksgiving..... and then only 33 days til Christmas. Time sure has gone by fast. This year we are having Thanksgiving dinner at my inlaws. It should be fun... its always hard going to the In laws cause I always want to go to my family. But I know that is life and thats what you do. And this year I am bringing the rolls so I know there will be plenty:) No I wil go with a positive attitude and its nice cause I have to work early the next morning so if we want to leave early we can.

Its really been hard the past couple of weeks. I have been feeling depressed and I have been reacting strongly to things. But I talked to my doctor and he said its totaly understandable to being feeling this way. I was pregnant and now I am grieving a loss. He got me on some anti depressants so hopefully I can start feeling better soon. But its also hard because I really want to be pregnant again. And now I am afraid it will be forever til I am. I actually took a test today and it was negative. But I am just trying to be positive and know that it will happen. Its just really hard because a lot of my co workers are pregnant and one girl found out she was pregnant the same time I did and she was due in May as well. So its really hard for me when she talks about it because I think I should be 14 weeks too.

Things have been goign well with Dan and I. We are both grateful that we have jobs... and enough to live on. Sure I complain and wish I had more, but I know I have a lot more than some people. Saw New Moon on thursday night and it was soooo good!!!! Can't wait to see it again.. I think I saw Twilight like 3 times in the Theatre.

Anyway hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!! Thanks for all you do and hope that this Holiday season is wonderful.

Thankful

Its been a while since Ihave done things I am Thankful for.

I am very thankful for my husband, especially this week. It was a hard one especially since I lost my keys. He was always so positive and was like we will find them. I doubted most of the time but he didnt'. He never ridiculed or said anythign mean about how I was obsessed trying to find my keys.

I am thankful for job. Since I have to work it has been a great job and Iam glad its soo close. I know the Lord has blessed me to have it.

I am thankful for Christmas books. I love reading all of the books that come out. My mom sends me some too and its a fun traditon that we have. I read the first one in October, and I rememer telling my mom when it would be out so she could go buy it:)

I am thankful for Christmas Music... I love that KOSY and FM100 are playing it right now. I just love the songs and it makes me feel happy. yesterday with the snow it really started to feel like Christmas.

I am thankful for Melissa Dalton. Its weird not having her live upstairs now. But she is a great friend and did so much for Dan and I. And it was nice cause when we needed something we didn't have to go to the store we could just borrow it from each other.

I am thankful for Temples.... it was sooo neat to see my friend Juliet get sealed there last week. This was my first sealing I got to see since I have been married. It was a nice reminder of what our day was like. It made me all nostalgic remebring that wonderful day. I am thankful for the peace i feel there.

Random Thoughts

So here are some things I have been thinking about lately:

Now that I actually want to be pregnant I am afraid it is going to take longer now. I am trying to be positive about it and not stress so much.

I really hope my dad gets a job soon. I worry a lot about my family and want them all to be okay. I just have a huge fear and I don't want any of my family to ever be homeless. Yes I know I am worry wart.

I am excited for Thanksgiving weekend and that we can put up the tree and decorations and go get our new Christmas ornament.

Since my friend Melissa is moving I hope I can still keep active everyday. We have been going walking every morning and its really helped me to maintain my weight loss. Even though I haven't lost a ton i have maintained it and that is very hard to do. So I bought a Biggest Loser DVD that hopefully I will be motivated to do.

I hope I can get a raise soon at work and that Dan can get his raise that he got jipped on this year because of the stupid economy.

I am nervous for Thanksgiving this year... hope it will be fun. I love my inlaws but sometimes I feel like I don't belong.

Anyway thats all for now.

Favorite Time of Year!!!

Yay so Halloween is over!!! No i like Halloween but i love this time of year. Because now the holidays are official. I think tomorrow the radio starts playing Christmas music. I just took down the Halloween decorations and I put up the few Thanksgiving ones that I have. And there are only 54 days til Christmas,can you believe that?
This year has gone by so fast... and so many things have happend. Anyway I am thankful for the month of November and that its a good reminder to be grateful for what we have!!!! I am excited this year too because my mom will be here for Christmas. I haven't had a christmas with her for about 3 years so it will be nice to have her here.
So i just encourage all of you to make a list this month and put it where you can see it and remember everything you are thankful for. And then try to add to it and leave it up all year long and see next year how it has grown.
Have a great Sunday!!!!
