One Without Pictures

I have had a hard time updating because I need to get all the new photos I have taken off of my phone and onto the computer and the same thing with the camera and GoodLookings phone.  Instead of making ya'll wait longer I will just do an information update with pictures coming when I feel guilty enough.

In September I finally did my Triathlon!! I didn't make my goal of under 2 hours and I blame that on being 10 weeks pregnant.  I went back and forth for the 4 weeks leading up to it whether or not I would actually do it but I decided that a little thing such as the little person inside me was not a big enough reason to give up all that I had already put into it.  So I did it in 2 hours and 20 ish minutes and I got a number, medal, towel, T-shirt, and swim cap to prove it.  It was a very had thing for me to do and I felt so good about it when I was done.  I want to do another one at some point in my life when I am not pregnant but my goal for next year is a half marathon... possibly a full marathon.

October was my actual birthday.  The 29th came and GoodLooking ordered pizza for lunch.  I couldn't keep it down... In fact, I didn't keep anything down after about 10 am.  I slept, tried to eat, threw up, and worried all day till I went to the ER at about 11 pm for hydration and a shot of Zofran.  Needless to say, it was a terrible day and I was glad I had decided to REALLY celebrate my birthday while GoodLookings sister is here.

In November, Smalls came the week before Thanksgiving.  She came in at midnight before Friday happened and GoodLooking picked her up.  Originally, I was supposed to pick her up but that was decided before I was pregnant.  On Friday, she got to come up my gender ultrasound where we found out we are having a BOY!!  a BOY, oh boy!  I don't know what to do with a boy.  Boys are weird and different and not a girl.  I am sure I will learn.  but a BOY!
For Thanksgiving with Smalls we had turkey, jello mold, pineapple celery, potato casserole from scratch, crescent rolls, and green beans I think with peach sour cream pie and blueberry pie.  It was so nice having her here for a whole week!  It was really hard to let her go back... and we almost didn't do it... JK
For real Thanksgiving one of GoodLookings co-workers, his wife, two kids, and wifes best friend came and also the missionaries.  It was great.  We did another Turkey, bought rolls, made cranberry sauce, potato casserole from scratch, green beans, and bought stuffing.  The friend brought a spicy turkey, rice, and beet salad.  Everything was good and we had a good time with them and also had Lemon sour cream pie and pumpkin pie that we ordered from a friend that was fund raising and boy it was good.
On Black Friday we went to Hobby Lobby and bought a 7.5 foot Christmas tree! and at Home Depot we got an awesome deal on ornaments and a space heater to help keep GoodLooking warm (sorry to Smalls for not getting it while she was here).

Now it's December, The tree is up, all my cool decorations that I have made over the years and we can listen to Christmas music and soon we will drive around to look at lights.  Honey and I went for a walk today and she loved the blow up snowmen and Santa and all the deers.
