Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi there!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family. We were able to spend the holiday with my mother-in-law, her hubby, and my brother-in-law. I was super disappointed when I found out that I wouldn't be able to cook this year. I'm so thankful that they cooked a yummy meal for us. I also got to talk to my big brother, which was great.

This is the time of year when I get very nostalgic and really miss my mom. I find myself thinking about what she would think or do if she were here. Or how we would have celebrated the holidays together. Or her thoughts on us having a baby. I have all these questions about her pregnancy and what I was like as an infant. These aren't really things I heard about very much...I probably know more about Brian's infancy than my own! My family was just never big on reminiscing on the past. Anyhow, I like to think of all the things I am thankful for - these things include: Brian, my family (including in-laws!), friends who make my life so full and happy, our puppies, our freedom, my ability to do what I want to do (academically), and of course, our little bundle of joy. There's so much to be thankful for and this is just a little bit of my very, very extensive list. Thanks to all of you who care enough about me to read this thing and follow mine and Brian's exciting adventure.

After the holiday, we spent the rest of the weekend packing, as we are FINALLY scheduled to move on Friday. I hope it doesn't get pushed back again! I'm sleeping in that house on Friday night! We may not have hot water or heat but I'll be there!! The pool starts on December 3 and then, of course, that Friday is an extremely important day! If you don't know what it is, I'm not telling you. Brian motivated me to do a LOT of packing this weekend by telling me that he'd take me to the Bee Movie if I was really good. I was REALLY good and he took me to see it! It was so cute and I HIGHLY recommend it! I just love Seinfeld though.

Ok, and in final news, my tummy is growing. Yes, it is. I'm either chubby or pregnant - hopefully it will look a little bit more like a pregnant belly in the near future, but here it is:
