Thanksgiving 2013

November 18th was the day our house finally became ours to occupy. We had our walkthrough the day before and immediately got to work. The house didn't need that much. Just painting and little things here and there. Our ultimate goal was to have everything done in order to host Thanksgiving dinner and we did it! We were able to start sleeping at our new house on the 27th, and the following day, we had Thanksgiving!

Our tradition: Fried turkey from KFC

We made some of the traditional dishes and our family members brought others.

The best part was that my sister and brother-in-law drove up with this little lady and stayed with us for the weekend. It really broke in our house and made it feel like a home.

We had a crazy experience at the ER, but everything is OK.

Hospitals are scary and doctors who try to push procedures on you are even scarier.

That's all I'll say about that.

My 30th Birthday

This was my last birthday as a baby-free person. Also, it was my first birthday as a pregnant lady. It was a great day! I had parent teacher conferences at work, my coworkers and I ate yummy pizza in the park, and J and I had an amazing dinner at Boulevard after work. Afterwards, I came home to fun birthday presents from amazing friends.

Halloween 2013

Being too tired and pregnant to go out means making up random Halloween activities at home! J and I had a Halloween costume contest between the two of us last weekend. We had one hour to whip up last-minute costumes out of things we already owned. I was a street musician and he was Frank from 30 Rock. Also, I look HUGE!

On actual Halloween, we also did nothing, but that's ok. I dressed up for school using another last-minute DIY costume, and that was pretty much it.

With the baby coming, I'm sure we'll have 15 years of festivities to come. This might be the last laid-back Halloween we'll have!
