November Update
I keep meaning to update my blog and then I get distracted. Things have been beyond busy here :-) James finished up the itallian movie he was working on. You can see the trailer by clicking on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLywcPRizAo. You might also want to check out this clip someone posted on youTube, you might recognize someone at the end :-)
We went to his wrap party it was fun! So many of the crew had such wonderful things to say about working with James. I was pretty proud of him!
As for me I've been plugging away at work, and boy there is so much of it :-) I often wonder if I've ever been this busy before??? Some good news too, I've been offered a new job within the company. I think it sounds exciting, but I'll have to share more details later. Also my current director submitted me for an award that my company gives out to select employees that go above and beyond their scope of work....I just found out I won! :-) I was so honored and happy to be thought of. Now I get to spend my $50 on something fun....hmm...wonder what it will be?
As for the baby it continues to grow and grow. I've gained a few pounds and suddenly my belly is resembling a more buddah shape. So far things are going great, no major issues and I feel pretty good. I'm finally over the extreme tiredness hump and my headaches are fewer and farther in between. The only thing I have to really deal with now is the back/side pains and my hip joints hurting in the morning. Its so interesting to see how change even gradual can affect the body, not to mention that every persons body reacts differently...who knew? I think its amazing! I'll have to post some more prego pics soon.
This past weekend James and I spent most of it cleaning up and cleaning out our apartment. We had so much junk that we're just hanging onto for no apparent reason (or at least not a good enough reason). I figured I would only be getting bigger so what better time than now to do our deep clean out. We've still got some drawers and things to go through but we definitely have less stuff than what we moved in with. We're planning to drop most of it off at goodwill this weekend. It feels good to get rid of things that we never use or never wear. I'm proud of James he's even selling stuff on the internet. Now we'll just have to make sure we don't try to fill up our newly made space. :-)
We're looking forward to Thanksgiving, and I am so looking forward to a break from work and an extended weekend. Yes! I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner again this year, and James invited a few friends over so we'll see who turns up. Should be a fun night!

Feeling Thankful
Thanksgiving was very different this year, as James and I celebrated in CA. We celebrated in our own little way by giving thanks to the Lord for all he has blessed us with this past year. We have so much to be thankful for! James invited some friends from work over to celebrate with us. It was a fun night filled with food, drinks, guitar & harmonica jamming, and of course our favorite...games!
It was also a first for me to cook the whole meal from start to finish by myself. In the past I've often had a lot of help from my mom, she really is a good cook! I also had a lot of great family recipes to assist me. I began the preparations the night before by getting the mashed potato bake ready, and baking the sweet potato pie. The next morning I woke up bright and early to begin the cook off. I began the morning with homemade pie dough, and ended the day with gravy. It was a full day of cooking... but well worth it. Everything turned out great and the best part... no smoke alarm this year! :)
(For those who are actually interested) Here was the Kanka Thanksgiving Menu:
- Turkey
- Nicole's Mashed Potatoes w/ a pinch of Garlic
- Carrots
- Green Beans
- Stuffing
- Candied Yams
- Gravy
- Biscuits
- Sweet Potato Pie
- Whipped Cream
- Apple Pie
- Vanilla Ice Cream
We hope all our friends and family who are far away had a great thanksgiving, you were in our hearts and thoughts. Love you all! Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving :)
