What a week

Thanksgiving has come and gone...with a full belly but a sad heart. Maw Maw Vern passed away on Thanksgiving day. We knew she wasn't far away after Mr Gary passed, that just destroyed her and she hasn't been the same since. She had a heart attack a week or so ago and told them she was ready to go. She joins Mr Gary (her son) and her husband. They've been torn since april of 2007 when her husband passed, then joined by Mr Gary this October and now she follows. She had a great and busy life...ending at age 78. We will miss you Vernice Brunies.

We went over to the neighbors for thanksgiving dinner. I made the only thing I ever make and that is cajun cheesy chicken..yum. Usually a crowd pleaser but I had an assistant this time that didn't measure the amount of salt he put in the pot. Bless his heart, he was just helping..lol. Love you honey.

Friday was nothing major to sneeze at. Heidi and myself went to Kmart to get a few things and I came back to get the house ready for company. Who will be here in a few hours, and we're still working on the last minute things. Oh if i weren't so tired all of the time now, it would all be done. Eddie comes today and then Thursday his sister and her husband will be here for the weekend. We have lots of fun stuff planned and I'm sure plenty of pictures to take. Stephen hasn't seen his friends since Lanelle's (sp) wedding last October.

Not long until Christmas though and I can't wait. I've been waiting for this holiday since June. Mainly because it comes and goes so fast and then it'll be Feb before you know it and Michael Patrick will make his grand and hopefully painless entrance into the world. It's amazing how much you can love someone you've never met. Everytime he kicks me in the ribs or plays in my belly, i can't help but almost cry and laugh at the same time. That's our baby boy in there! Stephen is so excited about the baby coming. He got to feel him kicking for a good while the other night and his face said a thousand heartfelt words. It's amazing how something so great is so close but so far away ya know.

Michael, we can't wait to meet you. =)
