The Grinch who Stole Thanksgiving

I should probably preface this post by saying I am extremely Thankful for all the people and things in my life.  I pray and thank the Lord for them each and every day.  With that said...

I should go ahead and tell you I wasn't feeling all the warm fuzzies that are normally felt on this thankful overladen holiday.  Several things attributed to my bah-hum-bug-ness, and I could pretend that I was all mushy and gushy about my love for everything all day long, but I want to be real.  It just didn't happen this year.  Any readers left?  I realize I'm a downer.  I kinda-sorta redeem myself.  (Well, if you consider the fact that I didn't steal the turkey and trimmings and shove them up a fireplace to my awaiting sleigh...)

Anyway, we had a big debate of where to go this Thanksgiving, what to do, who to see, what to do afterward to the point of ad nauseum.  At one point, I just threw my hands up and proclaimed that Well fine, then.  We'll just stay home, order pizza, and see no one!  Not one of my grandest moments, I tell ya.  Could have contributed to the overall apathy of Thanksgiving this year.  Any-who, we eventually decided that we'd go to my paternal grandparents' in Kentucky and from there Zach would ride back with my brother and then go hunting at his grandparents' farm, and I would continue on down to Alabama with my Mama, Mama Joyce, and Suzanne.  In the end, I am glad we didn't stay home, and that we both had fun on our separate adventures. 

#1 thing I am Thankful for this year?  The fact that I have 364 days before I have to think about Thanksgiving again!!

(I kid, kinda.........)

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
