Shopping

Nara and I started our shopping adventure at 5 am on Friday morning. Rick joined us for lunch and a little more shopping later in the day. We are both hoping that Caroline is with us next year.
Overall it has been a great Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Blessings to you and yours.

Ready for the Holiday!

Our Thanksgiving holiday starts at 4 today. Rick and I are going to go home and exercise. We started the insanity work out a few weeks ago. Yes, it is insane. We hate doing it but we love how we feel after doing it. It is a serious cardio workout.
After the workout we are going to the grocery store and get ready for our Thanksgiving meal. We have no major plans this Thanksgiving. We are just having lunch, watching football and getting ready for the shopping on black Friday.

Thankful Thursday (a little late)

I am thankful for Thanksgiving approaching
I am thankful for vacation time approaching
I am thankful for my husband who is always so thoughtful

Dolphins Won!

Waiting for Caroline!

I feel in my heart that another special needs list will come out in the next month and we will find our daughter. I got so excited today about the prospect of meeting our daughter that I ran to Target and picked up a few things to put in her care package. (Once we know where she is)
Out of nowhere it hit me that she is over in China somewhere waiting for us. With an LID of 3/27/07 I have become used to telling people that she is not even born yet. If we find our daughter on the special needs list she is not only born but she is somewhere waiting for us.
I picked up blankets and socks so she can stay warm while she waits for us. Once I know her size I will also send clothes and some toys. It is very exciting thinking about it and planning for her.

Happy Birthday Violet

Weekend Wedding

Rick was best man in a wedding this weekend. Rick and Mark went to high school together. Rick was thrilled to be in the wedding. Nara and I came along for the wedding fun and we really enjoyed it.

My sister and I ended the weekend my volunteering at the Junior League’s Taste of the Town. It was a long day but we always enjoy our Junior League time together.

Veterans Day!

Thank you to all of of the Veterans,

Great Weekend Planned

Great weekend planned. Rick is best man in a wedding this weekend. We spent last night with the wedding party and today is the big day! It is going to be a beautiful wedding. Sunday and Monday we will be going away for a quick getaway. Rick is really great at planning weekends away. We go away often but this is even better because his class work is done and we have an extra day. No School on Monday.

Homestudy Again

We met with the social worker today. It is our 3rd homestudy. We hope it is our last one!
