MERRY THANKSGIVING

I'd like to wish all of you my best for your holiday season, hoping that you will get to spend quality time full of love and filled with blessings with your families, or for others of you that you will at least get along with your family for ONE day, that you would not get on each others nerves coming away with a feeling of resentment and anger, that your thanksgiving dinner will not end up eaten by a wild pack of dogs, or be pulled to the ground by a toddler pulling on the table cloth. That your Uncle bob would not get crazy drunk this year, and decide to do a little Thanksgiving day streak. That little Billy would not break his arm playing thanksgiving day football, or smash his face against the bed post and have to go to the emergency room for a cast or stitches. That the turkey (or turducken) is thouroughtly cooked and that your family doesn't contract Salmonilla, or if they do, that you have four bathrooms to take the added load. But mostly just that you have a good time and that you make sure to count your many blessings

ENGAGED

So, I got engaged a couple of weeks ago sorry that I have not posted about it here, but you know, I am kind of busy with other things, student teaching, work, planning a wedding and stuff like that.

From what I ahve heard it sounds like most guys just say, "honey, I don't care what the details are, just plan it and let's be done with it." but that's just not me, well sort of, but I at least want a hand in some things...mainly in saving money and getting good deals on the reception. It turns out that the only thing we are going to have to pay for is the food, we are getting the facility fee waived, and any other little fees waived too, which is nice, the only bump we ran into was the fact that they aren't allowed to have kegs on the premise which means that we are going to have to bottle the beer, oh well, oh, and the wedding is on April fools day too, but oh well.

So what is with this weather, it is mid november and it is still hot enough to wear shorts outside during the daytime...what gives?
