Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving

I have been meaning to post since my Thanksgiving holiday break. But time it seems just got away from me.

My Thanksgiving was wonderful- lots of cuddling and lots of food. Nick made his delicious Cornish game hens- stuffed and everything. It is like having your own personal turkey ^o^ So yummy! My cherry crisp turned out well too- if I do say so myself.

I didn’t get to make Major any “Thanksgiving” treats. But I think he enjoyed his raw beef bone just as much : )

I am so thankful for my family- both my family in Michigan and my little family here.

The weekend before Thanksgiving I got to go visit my family in Michigan. That was a lot of fun despite the red eye flight (that I never sleep on) and 2 hours of sleep over 24+ hours. At least it was “ warm” for a Michigan fall. I mean look how warm I am ^o^

All kidding aside it was great to see my family again. Makes me wish I could see them more often but also makes me thankful for all the time we get to spend together. If only California and Michigan where closer- or there was a transporter machine…..

I am already back to the work “grind” and missing my little “Vacation extravaganza” (5 work says off over 2 weeks). Already looking forward to the two three days weekends the end of December.

I have also come to the realization that the year is almost over! Where did the time go? It feels like I just made out my year to do list (which I think I have barely dented….) But I have been crossing a lot of my regular to do list- so at least I am getting something done! This year I really wanted to accomplish a lot- and I can’t say I have completed a lot…but I have been preparing and taking the steps to complete goals- so I am on my way!

Now I am just gearing up for the holiday season! I love the holidays!

I have almost completed the decorating- all I need are some command strips- which for some reason don’t seem to be sold as a refill pack- only if you want to buy more hooks….so more searching on that front.

Then this weekend I am hoping me and Nick can find our tree. We have not had a tree the last two years due to money or space issues. So I am really excited that this year (as long as we can find a small one) that we will be able to have it twinkling in the apartment.

Christmas cards are also almost completed. I really enjoy making handmade cards for Christmas- someday I am sure I will have a little craft station in the house to release all my craftiness ^o^

Also despite my usual last minute Christmas shopping- I have almost completed it for this year. I am one or two amazon.com orders away!

I think I am going to go have some hot chocolate- listen to Christmas music- and complete my Christmas cards…..
