On the Road Again!

The blogging road that is. Well, so much for my thankful daily post this month. My Internet has been very unpredictable all month, so I haven't felt very inclined to write and awesome post, only to have my Internet cut out before I publish it.

So! I will do it this way...

THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR!
#3. Having Internet that works from time to time
#4. Being able to listen to Dr. Laura most days on my computer as background noise (when Internet is working). I just really like this lady's opinion...and boy is she opinionated.
#5. A sweet baby who is napping right now, so I can enjoy the sounds of silence in my house. She woke up way too early this morning to greet us. Thankfully she went back to sleep in our bed, so I could sleep an extra hour.
#6. Awesome friends who invite me to do stuff with them. I feel so loved. Thanks guys.
#7. The healthy baby moving in my belly. Even though I complain of the 30 lbs. he has made me gain already, thankfully I will be able to get the weight off once I am chasing both babies around.
#8. A loving husband who is at working right now, so I can be home writing this.
#9. Being able to go out with friends last Saturday to the Twilight matinee. I am also thankful that I really enjoyed the movie, and the extra large popcorn, and the Farrell's burger and fries we had after. (BTW- Did that food Bella and her Dad were eating at the diner make anyone else hungry?)
#10. A flu bug that only lasted 10 hours. As soon as I got home from the movie (after my sweet husband stayed home from 1pm-7:30pm watching our bug), he continued watching her while I threw up all the fun I had that day and then some over the next 10 hours.
#11. My house, even though it is NEVER CLEAN no matter how hard I try or don't try, and sometimes it feels a little like we are constantly stepping on each others feet here. At least I have this beautiful home.
#12. My sewing machine!! I have been sewing like a mad lady this month. So far, projects include, curtains for living room, curtains for bed-room, quiet book for Eden, baby blanket for friend, dress for Eden, and I made Eden a few new head-bands (with hot glue) but I count hot glueing as sewing. Now, if only I could bring myself to finishing Eden's couch before the end of the month.
#13. Old friends who call to say hi. I love hearing from my old friends. And when you are pregnant, it seems they call often to see how you are feeling. I love catching up with you guys...I miss you too.
#14. A fly swatter. My house has become infested with flies. As embarassed as I am to announce this publicly my house came down with a case of maggots last week. So, today and yesterday I have been killing an average of 2 flies an hour. (We switched to a larger garbage recepticle, so we didn't need to take the garbage out every night. I blame this for the infestation. We have since switched back to the smaller bucket)
#15. My sweet visiting teacher, and friends who have invited me to their homes for Thanksgiving. I can't wait to visit with everyone on Thursday, and gain 30 more lbs.
#16. The cute photo book my Mother-in-Law sent to Eden so she can learn faces before we go home for Christmas. Eden loves looking at her book of Ma-ma, Papa, and Nana (Breanna) and Rio.
#17. My cell phone that my dad gave me for Christmas last year. I think of him almost everytime I look at it. My friends call me and text me, and I get to take lots of fun photos and catch great moments of Eden when I don't have a real camera around.
#18. The fact that most of my family will most-likely still be in Utah when I go home for Christmas.
#19. The free turkey we got from Foodland using 2 Reward tickets.
#20. This 70% dark chocolate that I found on sale at 7-Eleven for $.85...which has probably attributed to a lot of my 30 lbs.
#21. We are headed home for the holidays in 23 days!
#22. The lunch I am about to go eat. Probably a turkey sandwich.
#23. Skype family conference calls on sundays.
There! 23+2=25. Today is the 25th, so I am all cought up. I'll add some photos after lunch!
