Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving was wonderful and I should never have doubted that it would be. After all the fellowship and food I am certain that this holiday was quite a success. Grey made all his rounds with his Mommy because his Daddy had to work with the football team on Thanksgiving! Apparently Coach West thought that keeping his players with him on the holiday would benefit the game plan and the moral of the players. I don't know about all of you, but I think I would have been pretty upset. This year I had only two stops to make and it felt strange to me but more relaxing than usual. My aunt's house was first on the list and dad's house next. My only, and I mean only, complaint was that I had to eat twice within two hours! The food was wonderful at both stops and I am still full I think, LOL. I received multiple text messages from many of my friends wishing Happy Thanksgiving and I want to says thanks for all of the thoughts. Also, I hope everyone had a great holiday and ate way to much with their families.

Recently, I have stumbled onto the Twilight Saga books by Stephenie Meyer and am here to say that they are amazing. I would recommend this read to anyone but you need some time on your hands because, I promise, you won't put these books down. I am looking forward to the movies, however; I have heard that it doesn't compare to the fascinating world portrayed in the books. This is, in my opinion, the best kind of love story that there is. One that has to conquer all the odds in order to be. Any fan of these novels would agree that Bella and Edward would definitely qualify being that they have to overcome many obstacles including near death experiences. Great series of events play out very quickly, this keeps any reader wanting much more. I'm finished with the first two books and am very excited to continue reading the next two. I hope that I have sparked some interest in some of you to get a hold of one these books to see what all the fuss is really about.

Truly, I have enjoyed being off work for the last couple of days and am anxious to get back and dreading it at the same time. I know that there is so much that needs to be completed before the end of this year. Wow, I can't believe we are going into 2009 so quickly. I remember everyone telling me that the older you get the faster the time goes by and I didn't believe them then. Now, it feels crazy that its going so fast. I am watching all the kids around me get older, bigger, and more beautiful every day and I can't help but think they are growing while I'm staying the same age. It will just keep going year after year. I am running so behind on my shopping this year. I am usually much closer to being finished with all of it by now. I have gotten a few things but am dragging my feet. Hopefully, I will pick up the pace here soon. With Christmas approaching, I need to get so many things done. For one, we need to decorate this house including the Christmas tree. We have yet to even open the attic in attempt to get it down and put it up. We will get around to it very soon I'm sure. This will, after all, be Grey's first Christmas. I'm so thankful to God and all my loved ones everyday that I get to be a part of all the lives that are circling mine at this time. I love you all. Hope your holiday went very well.
