who says Turkey Day?

so last night as i'm trying to fall asleep i hear my little sister tillie out in the hallway by my room talking with my dad and she says, "is tomorrow turkey day?"...mind you tillie is only four years old. so i'm like who in the past 15 years  has used the term "Turkey Day" instead of Thanksgiving? it was just bizarre. niles and his fiance rachel are in town this week so that's super fun. gwennivier is all kinds of late and so all of my family wont get to see her this week which is really quite upsetting. but-i'm still more concerned that lil G is alright and she will for sure come when its time.
thanksgiving is tomorrow and my family is going out of town so it looks like i will be spending it with christopher and his mom this year...which will be fun and i really don't mind at all but it is pretty lame that my whole family won't be here and since i'm pregnant i can't go with them. but hey, cheers to new traditions i guess! i absolutely love the holidays and i cant wait to watch the macy's thanksgiving day parade tomorrow!!!
so...since tomorrow i might be a little too preoccupied to jump on the computer and post a blog about what i'm thankful for i will just cheat and do it now.

the things i am grateful for this year.
-my friends and family's support.
-more specifically Anna, Clara, Christopher, and my siblings.
-WIC and Medicaid.
-baby showers.
-child birth education classes.
-the time i've been able to spend with Christopher.
-having cable again.
-Gwennivier.
-my puppies.
-unemployment benefits.
-finding so much time to write in my journal.

of course there is stuff i left out of that list but at least i can say thank you for some of the blessings in my life.
before my whole day gets sucked into the computer i should end this. i hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving break!!!!!

so after talking with my best friends last night, i've decided to keep an online blog! hopefully as time progresses it will become better; i'm really just learning the basics right now.

so today has started off quickly. i went to my OB-GYN this morning and got an induction date set up for sunday at 5:00am! i cannot believe how close i am to meeting lil' G for the first time! and honestly-i'm more excited than nervous. she will be the topic of most of my blogs i assume...i mean how could she not? she will be basically my entire life for a while. today i finished setting up all of her furniture in my bedroom and put away the last of her precious little clothes in her drawers.

oh on another note, next semester i'm taking french! its been two years since i've been in a french class and boy do i miss it! but i'm excited to take kind of a "refresher course" and if all goes well i'll probably end up taking it again next fall. i want gwennivier [and any other future children of mine] to speak french. sure they won't have much use for it here in austin, tx but when they get older and when i travel the world with my future family, theyll be able to communicate with so many more people. it will be awesome. i'm very very excited about going back to school...
i bet in a few months i will think i am crazy for ever saying that. but nonetheless, i'm ready to get my education back on track.


okay well i completely don't know what else to talk about and i've been sitting at the computer a little too long so i guess the end!
