We have been going through a rough time lately, nothing which I want to get into in here but those that know us well, know what we have been through, I want to thank y'all for being there for us and being the support we needed being so far away from family and all, we appreciate it more than you could possibly know. Thank you mostly to my best friend in the world, my cousin Karen in Canada which really is my rock ... and a close runner up, Tina I, you are amazing, I could never ask for a better friend than you, without the two of you, I don't know how I would have gotten through these past 4 odd weeks. Mom, thank you too, I know you knew what I was going through and to have someone that feels your pain like I know you did, meant the world to me, thank you for being there for me through every step of the way.
I haven't updated in here much lately and really there isn't too much more that I wanted to say other than it's getting cold ... really cold, Winter has arrived !!! I have added 4 pics, I treated Jade to the Christmas show this past Monday, I thought she would be more wow'd than she was but I think all the walking was too much for her, I will take her again when she is a little older. I went back Saturday to do my walk around since Monday was all about Jade. I love the Christmas show and this time of the year, Mom they are already playing the Christmas music on that chanel, do you remember :-)
This week is Thanksgiving and Black Friday which Dave as usual is looking forward to. We don't have anything big planned for Thanksgiving this year thank heavens, I think it will just be the three of us and our Honey Baked Ham, it will be a nice break to have a day off in the middle of the week. Friday I am thinking Dave might go out early but this I will only know once he goes through the paper on Thursay and sees all the good deals, this is his Christmas, he loves this day. Jade is off school Wednesday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, she actually is having her Thanksgiving Feast at school tomorrow which I will be attending, that is always fun. Anyway she and I are on the hunt for a Christmas Tree, out beautiful one has given up the ghost, many of the rows of lights have gone out so we are looking for a new one, Jade is excited to help me hunt down one, I am sure she will get bored quickly with all the trees I have to look at but we will walk through all the Christmas isles too and that she will enjoy :-) Gavin I wish you were closer coz I would give you our old tree, I know you wouldn't mind stringing normal lights on it, we have just gotten too lazy being spoilt over here, I think we are going to go drop it off at Goodwill, that way someone that can't afford a tree will be able to have one, a beautiful one on us this year :-) I love this country, they are so giving here that it makes you want to be generous too.
Anyway I think Jade and I will also get an early start Friday since most stores open at 5am, Dave will be out before the crack of dawn but I think Jade and I will get out here by 7h30, 8 ish hopefully we will still get some good deals, I heard it's going to be really cold Friday so we will have to bundle up.
Then this weekend it will be Christmas decorations time, I can't wait, I love making the house all pretty for Christmas, after this last month, this family sure as hell needs some fun so I am really looking forward to throwing myself into it completly, can you tell ? I am sure Dave can wait till the weekend, since he will be on the roof putting up the Christmas isicle lights, not a fun job at all but it is all worth it when you turn the lights on at night and for every night in December Jade is wowed :-)
This weekend Dave and I booked Jades birthday party, we were going to do it at home this year but Dave didn't want to stress me out which I am very thankful for so we are having it at Space Kidets, which is similar to Pump It Up where we had her party last year. The party itself will be on her birthday from 6 - 8 that evening, it should be fun. We are still going with a Tinkerbell theme although I don't think I will have her wear her costume there, she will get too hot and it will get all messed up.
Anyway, that's all the news for now, one last thing, I wanted to also say, thank you to everyone that remembered our wedding anniversary, we appreciate it, thank you too to the Kropmans for the flowers, you know I love flowers, Jade does too so she and I really have appreciated them.
And last but not least, I love you Dave, thank you for our life together and our beautiful family which means more than the world to me. You guys are my world in fact and I love you both more with every beat of my heart.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Family & Friends !!!
