1. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Frank and I traveled down to TN for the holidays with my parents and Jenny, Barbara and Gary. We had run into real slow traffic around Indianapolis and than around 4am Frank hit a raccoon that had run out into the road.
2. When we were an hour from my parents house we got a flat tire and had a nice gentleman pull over to assist us with a flat jack. Frank was not prepared properly and needless to say this gentleman had a spare in his trunk that he just gave to us. Real nice people in VA on Thanksgiving day. We had to drive on a donut so it took us another 90 mins to arrive to our final destination.
3. We assisted with Thanksgiving dinner and had a wonderful meal together. Afterwards everyone went to see the new Harry Potter movie. Grandpa and I stayed home with the baby.
4. The next day we picked out a Christmas tree and than came home to decorate it. Grandma, Auntie Barbara and Sarah did most of the work. We also went bowling and had a great time. We took off on Sunday and forgot to bring our homemade lunches. We went to an hour of church and ended up arriving at home @ 10pm. It was a long trek home and ran into more traffic in Indianapolis.
5. We are still awaiting the bank approval for the property in Gilberts. We hope to hear back from them soon. They are in stage 4 out of 5. We are still trying to get our earnest money back on the last property. We think now we will be closing sometime in early January. The worst time to move that is for sure.
6. The weather has turned cold and we received our 1st real snowfall on 12/4. Happy Birthday to Leah! I can't believe that you turned 4 years old already.
7. We recently were told that everyone in my department at work are switching to a new supervisor and that we will be changing desks as well on Thursday. I just was moved again and am going to miss my new neighbor that I just received a month ago.
8. On Sunday I just learned that a sister at church that was around my age just past away from lung cancer. She had cancer at the same time that I did last year and unforunately didn't have as good of a prognosis as I did. She fought a good battle and is now leaving behind three beautiful children and a spouse.
9. Frank and I are getting ready to travel down to Arkansas for Christmas. Sarah chose to go to San Diego, CA with her mother this year. It will be strange not having her join us this year. I can't believe she will be turning 16 years old in January.
10. I still have not started shopping for Christmas yet.
