Thankful

Thanksgiving was a blast. This year, we cooped with Seth's sister. She made all the food, and I brought home-made apple and pumpkin pies. That was ambitious, since they ended up taking five hours to make and bake. But they were delicious, so there are no complaints. And Susanne made a delicious Thanksgiving feast. Good food + good company = a good day!

I'm thankful for family that I get to spend time with.

I'm thankful for my cozy, just-right apartment.

I'm thankful for a cat who cuddles.

I'm thankful for a husband who loves me no matter what.

And I'm thankful that Christmas is almost here!

Seth's mom gave us our very first Christmas decoration, which has been proudly displayed, despite BYU's disappointing performance in the Big Game.

In preparation for out first Christmas ever, Seth and I bought a Christmas tree on Black Friday. We also stopped on the holiday isle at Macy's and got some stockings.

I also wrapped our very first present, which came in the mail from Seth's sister (Rachel) as an unidentified Amazon package, which we accidentally opened (sorry!).

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

P.S. I love the new job. I am much busier (thank goodness!), which is why you have seen the decrease in the frequency of blog posts.

P.P.S. Here's a video update of Apollo and his straw.
