Thanksgiving week!!
This week has been AMAZING!!!
I flew home on Sunday after church with Joyce, lunch with the Hawkins and birthday celebration with Lexi. My feet were worse than ever but I kept them up and then watched a movie with Meagan and Anders.
Monday morning Bowie started kicking.. and he hasn't stopped since!!!!! Its amazing! I spend all day waiting for him and loving every kick!!
Tuesday, I spent the day at Joann Fabrics. HUGE amazing, wonderful, Fleece for $1.49 a yd sale. I wasn't planning on getting anything, only returning things, but.. come on. Fabric hoarder right here. I also bought 3 fur pillows.. ACK! I had to!!! They were so soft and I have always wanted fur pillows but the ones at pottery barn are just unrealistic. But that brings me to Matt and his amazingness. When he got home, I was shaking in my boots for him to see them and be upset. He walked in and I was sitting next to them, and he made a happy surprised look and saw me and I said, "I did something bad!!" and he asked, "what?".. and I pointed to the pillows. He responded with, "You bought pillows?? Why would you do that??" and I broke into fast heavy tears. (hormones...) and he immediately said, "Wait, wait, OK give me a redo!!" He then walked outside and came back in the garage door, did the same surprised-happy face to see me and then did the face at the pillows and yelled, "I LOVE THEM!!!" I couldn't believe how wonderful he was to me. My heart grew 10x and I was so grateful to have him. I worked enough for Kenna and Leland though to pay them off so I am ok. I didn't need to pay it off but for my conscience.
Today was also the first day of not feeling sick at all! It was weird and beautiful. What a gift from God.
Wednesday, I was supposed to make Pies with Kristi, Lex and Laura. But I lied and said I was busy already. :) I wasn't. Matt and I just decorated for christmas and went to Pirate O's and got foreign treats while we watched "Inside Out."
I also finished the book "Unbroken." Wow it was incredible. I felt so uplifted and changed. I am so glad I read it. I immediately started "East Of Eden" and I am LOVING IT!!!!!!!! Its definitely a winner! I made a list of my talents and what I want to change and make better. Here they are:
-Piano
-Guitar
-Singing
-Art
-Blogging (getting that done now..)
-Zumba
-Sewing
They are just beginnings of talents so I am going to work on them more and more. It'll be a fun process!
Thursday: THANKSGIVING!!!!!! A certain sibling of matts was not present so it was quite the lovely day. I cooked, made an amazing fruit plate into a turkey, looked beautiful, laughed heartily and mightily with Danny and Matt and SA and enjoyed every minute. Danny thanked me after dinner for being so kind to SA. He doesn't feel comfortable here and so he was grateful. I said, I didn't either so I know how he feels. I love seeing Matts grandma. She is such a woman to be. She is kind, loving and gracious. She does not cast judgement on a single soul. I want to be her so badly. After dinner she walked around in circles hugging everyone over and over again and saying kind things to them. I made apple crisp for the party and no one ate it.. but I was happy because it means more for me tomorrow! And ps.. I have never liked banana cream pie. Until today. I could not stop stealing slivers of it. It was incredible. Also Lauren McConkie had a little boy! I am so proud and happy for her! I cannot believe that will be me soon.
Friday, I woke up with a sore throat. :( But we went black friday shopping.. EEK! But its ok! I needed boots for my swelling feet and I got amazing ones! and then we spent some time at barnes and noble. I love that place. We got some books and gifts for ourselves. After we had a family movie night at Matt's old Bishop Smart's house. With the DBOX seats! We watched Jurassic park and Laura was amazing. She ran all over town looking for black cherry soda just for me. She is so kind and loving. I ate popcorn and milkduds. I love when Matt has work off. I could stay snuggling with him for days and night never ending. I love him so much.
I wrote this week 5 letters of thank you. I want to make it a habit now. It felt so good. One for Grandma Maw. One for the Dawsons. One for the Hawkins. One for Joyce. One for Vicki and John. and a Happy Birthday for Lex.
