It's November?! What the Heck?

It's hard to believe we are in November already. That means my second favorite holiday is coming....Thanksgiving! I love the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, coffee cake for breakfast, a traditional Thanksgiving feast for lunch, and lots of fun! And the best part is Lord willing and the creek don't rise this will be the last one without my husband for a while. Very exciting that we are coming up on the last ones before he's home for good. 

There have been these "thankful" things going around Facebook and the blog world. You're supposed to say one thing you're thankful for each day. I'm behind so I'm going to try and do it weekly.

1. My God...he is an awesome God! And with Him I can do all things!!
2. My Mother...she gave me such a great foundation for who I am!!
3. My Brother...he really is my hero!!
4. My husband...we are a perfect fit in so many ways
5. My job...I'm blessed to have a job I love with people who are a family not just co-workers.
6. My pets...although they test me at times they really have been a saving grace during this time that J has been gone.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!! Let us remember to give thanks!

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

It is hard for me to think that Christmas is just around the corner. But it really shouldn't be because...

• The shopping areas are starting to decorate for Christmas
• Local stations are starting to play Christmas music
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas has been on the TV
• They are talking about Black Friday already
• I'm getting my brother and his wife's Christmas presents ready
• And in order to get them to him by Christmas...I've wrapped my husband's Christmas presents and will take them to the post office soon

So what about you are you feeling Christimasy or do you want to get through Thanksgiving first? I myself would like to be like Nordstrom and celebrate one holiday at a time.
