Belated Thanksgiving Report

It just occured to me that I have been rather remiss in keeping up this blog (and indeed, my own personal blog). However, in fairness to those few people who read this, I believe it is time for an update.

Life continues on as always with its ups and downs. We have been busy re-arranging our apartment, finding the perfect gifts for people in our lives, and continuing to learn how to be good spouses.

Holidays are always somewhat difficult to manage. The question is always, who's family do we spend the holiday dinner with this time? We both want to be with our families. If things were different, I would try to have the holiday dinner here, but our place is just too small for that.

For Thanksgiving, we had a pre- Thanksgiving dinner at Herman's sister's house, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This worked out perfectly because they were invited somewhere else for the actual day. On Thanksgiving itself we went to my brother's house and enjoyed an amazing meal. Seriously, I think it was the best turkey I've ever had.

The weather has been crazy here the past few days. A big storm rolled in, causing incredible amounts of damage. Luckily for us, the only experience of the storm that we had was torrential rains which flooded out several roads. The coast was hit really hard with high winds, rain, etc.

Today is my birthday, and last night Herman surprised me with a small party with some old family friends. Today we're not really doing anything, but tomorrow night he is taking me on a romantic spa overnight trip. I'm incredibly excited. I'm so blessed to have a spouse that cares enough to plan surprises. He makes me feel so special.

Its almost time for me to head out... I took a part day sub job today even though I had told myself to take a day off for my birthday... oh well.
