Who ROCKS?

The Thanksgiving Holiday's have started for me already. On Wednesday, it was a huge blessing to share a meal with my small group. I truly enjoyed it and felt so blessed to be surrounded by people I love. My small group ROCKS!

Cy and I bought the turkey, ham, and a sweet potato casserole and everyone else completed it with sides and desserts. I can tell we all did good - we were all stuffed! We were so grateful for my parents watching Evan during this time. It has been a really long time not having to "worry" who watches Evan while we have time to ourselves. Mind you, we have wonderful friends who have watched Evan and greatly appreciate it. But when its family watching your kid - its different. I'm sure some of you can relate. When we got home, Evan was asleep and tucked in bed already. My Parents ROCK!

I was up this morning at 4 am, catching up on last weeks Grey's Anatomy episode, while eating leftover ham from our small group dinner, and rice. I even ate a Chess Square for my dessert. Yes - a complete meal eaten at 4 am. If I wasn't pregnant, I'm sure I would've been snoozing at this time or waking up to go to the gym. BUT GUESS WHAT? I am pregnant and its acceptable to do "weird" things such as that. Hah! I'm already starting to have some weird and funky dreams too! It's funny how I don't remember doing this when I carried Evan. I am so eager to find out how this little boy will look. If he'll be like Evan when he was a baby. Will he look like Evan - having lots of hair when born (looking like a Japanese bombucha baby)? Or because of Cy's background...will he have curly afro hair? Only the Lord knows and I can't wait to see how our cute baby burrito will be. Only 17 more weeks to go. Seems like a long time to me. But, I'm sure it'll go fast. Especially with the holiday's rolling in.

We are slowly making some progress at our house. Though lots of things need attention, we are focusing on priorities. Like the ditch that surrounds the front and back of the house. Well, it's our french drain in progress. Cy has been working on this project for quite some time now. Every weekend so far has been somewhat interrupted from bad weather to other committed activities. It has been a process. He had to dig and make a ditch, literally lift/jack-up the front corner of the house due to foundation settlement, then mortar loose bricks, then he stuccoed quarter of the wall. The next thing is to put the french drain in - adding the pipes and rock, then finally push all the dirt back into the ditch so that it'll look like nothing ever happened. Oh, another thing he had to do before digging was dig out the beautiful bushes that surrounded the front of the house. We're hoping that they haven't died since they have been uprooted for a while. We put them in plastic bags and we plan to put them back where they were. So, like I said...it's been a process. I'll mention the other projects later. For now...the french drain is our #1 priority. :)

It amazes me how much house projects/renovations my husband does. He's my Handy Manny and I'm so blessed to have a wonderful husband who has the talent to do all this. Cy ROCKS!

Have a great weekend and enjoy this SC weather. Heard it was going to be nice and sunny today and on Sat. Woo hoo!!
