Thanksgiving

I can not believe December is starting tomorrow. Where did the year go? We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. This year as a whole was given a HUGE thanks!!!! Me getting a job, buying Scott a new car, buying our first home....the list goes on...

This year we stayed in Florida for Thanksgiving and enjoyed our new home. It was just us 2. We were going back and forth about going north for the holiday (since we knew we weren't going anywhere for xmas). Then when the house was bought we decided we were going to stay and enjoy it. We were excited to have a holiday at the new house. That is until the day before....when I broke and it finally hit me that we weren't going to be seeing family over the holiday. OMG I cried all the way home from work....I had all these people in the office talking about how they were going to be seeing family and having a BIG holiday celebration. That is what we are use to...having 15-20 people with so much love and laughs. All I could think about was how boring ours was going to be. I came home to a big hug from Scott and a beer and stopped crying.

Thanksgiving came we make a great dinner...Turkey, gravy, twice baked sweet potatoes, cheesy potatoes, avocado and mango salsa, and brie. We watched the parade and football. At one point I looked at Scott and said I finally have a place on the couch without 7 others on top of me (I do like that though). In the evening we headed to a friends house for desert and to watch more football.

I can't say I didn't like the day - just the 2 of us. At the same time I can't say I liked the day - just the 2 of us. It was just different. I do know I had a great day and missed all the family time.

Limited to the Couch

It has been almost a month since the last time I blogged. This whole moving, unpacking, painting ….and everything else that goes with a house takes up a lot of time.

I have a feeling this blog is going to be all over the place….Where do I start????

With great help from my mom we have our front room painted and new carpet throughout the whole house. Scott and I went back and fourth about getting new carpet…we bit the pullet and could not be happier. The house is really starting to feel like our home. We have everything out of the apt except the adirondack chairs (which will be coming soon). In between hanging out with my mom, work, and normal daily chores we have slowly been going through boxes. We have a trash pile, keep pile, and garage sale pile. Yep we are thinking a garage sale is in the Spring calendar (which is getting more and more full as we speak).

In the middle of all this we got a great visitor – my mom. She was a great help. Between painting and being here when the carpet came we did do some fun stuff. We got to spend one day shopping, one day at St. Augustine, and quality time together. Thanks mom for all your help!!!!

I have been stuck to the couch since Wednesday…I had sinus surgery and nurse Scott had kept a good eye on me. I have been sleeping and relaxing for the past few days. Let’s cross our fingers that when I go in on Monday the doc says everything went well.

I am hoping to have some new pics of the house up soon….we still feel like we have so much to do.

I know there has been so much more going on here but time flies when you are having fun making a house your home J (wow that was lame)
