Why I love Thanksgiving.

It's my favorite holiday because:
  1. Family time
  2. Holiday centered around food. Of course I can get behind that!
  3. FOOTBALL (Seahawks v. 49ers!)
Family time being the favorite part of the day. I love lazing around the house with everyone just enjoying their company. I don't do the whole Black Friday thing, so I don't have to deal with crowds or overpricing of merchandise only to "slash" it back to the original price.

This year will be different in that we're not going to both sides' houses for dinner. We usually go to Jason's parents' house first and then drive over the bridge to my parents. Jason has to work early on Friday, so we're just staying close to home this year. I'm kind of sad about that, I love seeing my folks.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Enjoy the day spending it with those you love and please be sure to thank the cook. They work hard!

November, Yikes!

October was an insanely busy month for me, hence the lack of posts.

Oh, by the way, my health experiment was a MAJOR fail. I think I lasted 2 days. It was awful and I'm pretty embarrassed by it.

At the end of the month hubby and I met my family down in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for my sister's wedding. It was such a relaxing vacation. I did not want to come back to the cold weather and rain (actually, with the humidity in Mexico this time of year, we were actually looking forward to the cooler temps while waiting for our plane ride back). Best part of the trip, J loved it! Mr. I Had a Bad Experience in Mexico when I was 15, I hate Mexico...wants to go back. Success!

Spent our 2nd Halloween in our home. Only this year J had to work late. Good thing I have girl friends that wanted to come over and help me pass out candy. My friend brought her three cousins from Korea with her, and they got so excited passing out candy to all the trick-or-treaters, it was great, my work was done! All the little kiddos dressed up were so cute! I found this post on Instagram regarding health and fitness, where anytime an "Elsa" came to the door, you do 5 pushups. I had 6 before my friends got to my house, so I did 30 pushups by myself. While they were there, 2 more came to the door, so we all did 10 pushups. It was kind of fun to do something silly like that. Also, second year in a row I ran out of candy before the first hour mark. Next year I'll learn, I swear.
