Thanksgiving

I'm not good at all at keeping up with life. I always think, "oh I need to hurry and write this down!" Oh yeah, never do. So let me see if I can think real good and remember our lives...

So the Thursday before last was wonderful!!! I had the day off and was at home with Linc and I heard who I thought was Nate and Derrick coming home from a job, so I got the door and it was my sweet husband!!! That little stinker! He told me he had one more job to do in Alaska and would be home in a couple days. The job canceled and he didn't tell me, so when I was talking to him the night before he said he was walking into the hotel and was going to go to bed, I was sad and wanted to keep talking a little longer, but he insisted so I said goodnight. So I guess he was walking into the airport and didn't want me to hear. (little sneaker!) He flew home all night and had a friend pick him up at the airport in RS. What a wonderful surprise! I seriously would have cried if Derrick hadn't have been standing there with him. I sure love that little rascal!

Mike ended up using the rest of some extra days he had and got to stay home all weekend. It was so fun to have that grouch around (I love you:) It was super nice because I worked Sat, Sun, and Mon graves (12.5 hr shifts, yuck!) and he got to be home with Lincoln while I worked and slept, which by the way doesn't work for me! I am a mean grouch (we are perfect for each other:) when I work nights!

Mike was SO happy to be daddy daycare Sat. I got 13 of my friends together and we all went to see Twilight! It was wonderful. I loved every minute. They did such a good job! Seriously, Bella was perfect.

A friend of mine here in town took our family pictures on Tues. It was a miracle that Mike was so compliant! For anyone who knows Mike, you know exactly what I mean. It was a beautiful day for being the end of November! Esp no wind! I'm excited to see the pics, I hope they turn out cute:) Thanks Mikey!

We got to stay home and be bums the rest of the night and most of Wednesday. Oh yea, Mike also had his last volleyball game Tues night. They made it all the way to the championship game, but lost. He did great! I swear, I had no idea Mike was good at volleyball, even played the sport, till just a few months ago, weird.

We headed out for Ogden Wed evening to hang out with the fam and eat some pie. Later me, mom, the twins, and their friends all went to see Twilight, two for me. Loved it the second time around, can't wait for the third with Mikey! It was fun to spend time with the girls and mom:)

We went to Nana's for Thanksgiving lunner. It was a rough morning with this little munchkin in my belly, so the food wasn't appealing, none of it is these days. I'm just trying to actually keep it in. But everyone else said it was delicious. We went to the school by her house and played with Daniel's frisbees. The boys and I headed for home that evening. It's always nice to be back after trips.

I had to work Friday, and when I got home I got a great surprise! Mikey had cleaned the house, did laundry, fixed Linc's door, finished painting the bathroom, so much! He is awesome to get so much done in such little time. I wish he was around more often. The house these days isn't the best, I'm just not up to par. (ha ha, Mike just taught me some golf lingo and that phrase makes total sense now!)

That night we got a babysitter (Meghan) and Mike and I went on an official date. We haven't done that in a very long time! It was so nice to just be with my sweetie. I went to the movies and saw Quantom of Solace. It was ok; I liked Casino Royale better.

Mike left this morning for Texas. He will be down there for 2 weeks for CML school. We hear it's pretty hard, so I hope he does well! (I'll be thinking of you:) Hopefully these next two weeks will go by good and fast. I am working a lot again, so it probably will.

Oh yea, so I forgot to say last time, we are due July 6. They will be exactly 18 months apart, perfect.

It's 11:24pm and I'm tired! Just got finished watching GG with Bonnie. I'll post pics later...

It was fun to hang out with you guys for longer than just a few hours this weekend! I am sad that you live so far away.

That Mike is always surprising you I think it is so cute. I can't wait to see the family pictures you had done. And about you and mike going to see twilight.. unless he was really into the books I don't know that he would like it. My brother in law came with us and he totally hated every second of it!
