Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!! Eat and be happy!

Fun Things To Come...

Hey Everyone!!
Just thought I would blog about some things that are up and coming. First, Ian will be here on Thanksgiving Day and will be here for about 5 days! I wish it was longer but there are many students anticipating their music lessons each week. So, we will eat at mom's house and get started on painting our bathroom and catching up on some much needed "us" time!! :)

Then there is Christmas approaching fast and furious. Shelbey already has her list made out and it's amazing how it grows each day. Alot of people use to tell me "wait until she gets older, Chritmas get more expensive". Boy was that an understatement!!! To all my siblings...be grateful your kids are young...

Ian and I are having Christams at our house this year with my entire family and are very excited about it. We get to cook Christmas dinner for everyone and have all the little munchkins running around opening presents and filling the house with laughter. We hope to catch a Red Wings game while he is here for 2 weeks because he is a huge Wings fan and would be in heaven at Joe Louis Arena for the first time. We can't wait!

Then.....it's off to Mexico in February. Ian and I are leaving the cold for 2 weeks to go and warm our bones. We were originally going to take all the kids for the first week, but the big kabosh got put on those plans. So now, it will just be the 2 of us. It will be alot of fun and Ian is taking me to alot of places that will broaden my horizons....sounds like fun!! We will be sure to take lots of pictures.

Shelbey is still plugging away in highschool and is doing pretty well. She struggled at the beginning in the grades department, but we buckled down and she is doing fabulous now. Im so proud of her for working so hard and accomplishing what she set out to do! Im still trying to wrap my brain around her having friends in the 10th and 11th grade. UGH! Comes with territory I guess. :(

Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm. I'm hoping for a warm up because it's just WAY too cold for November. Take care.

VICTORY!!!

Barack Obama....the first African-American President of the United States.....UNBELIEVABLE!!! Novemebr 4, 2008 I was part of history and I could not be more proud. I am humbled by his words, engaged by his presence and comforted by his outlook. I am looking forward to a positive change and a better good for everyone. There has not been alot of "good" news for Americans lately and to be quite frank it has been down right depressing....BUT (and that's a big "but")....I believe that change is on the way, so as I take a deep breath and exhale all the past, I can see clearly now. Peace...
