Thanksgiving day

Okay so we awoke bright and early. I had to have the turkey in the oven by 8 so we could eat around
2. So I got up, made stuffing, stuffed, buttered and rubbed the turkey down with honey and started it on its 15 minute baseting regime. It was fun. THen Brad helped me clean so that when family came over it would be nice and neat.

Of course I didn't clean up stairs and then they all went upstairs to talk on line with my parents and I was a little embarssred but it was fun.

We had Joel and his new wife Sonya over. Evan came as well since he hasn't been dating his girl long enough to go to her house for the holiday. THen we had a freind Tetcha from Zimbabwe who has come over for several thanksgivings and came again this year. It was fun and there was lots of food. This is the first year I let someone else cook and bring any of the food, and despite worry on my half it was all great and I won't worry next year. After a huge feast that I know was very unhealthy for me. We lounged around. Played some games. THen the boys pulled out the PS2 and played some teken, it is a fighting game. Sonya talks smack when she plays it was quite fun to watch. Mom and Dad called on the computer we did some video confrencing and all was well for the holidays.

All in all it just reaffirmed all the things I am thankful for.

Looks like fun, sounds like fun, reads like fun. I think I would be highly amused to hear Sonya talk smack.

No brad doesn't feel a PS3 is worth the price or the line. We are simple folks and as long as there are games we love on the old ones we will stick with the older versions.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
