First Tuesday of November 

This morning and early afternoon was full of errands and running around. I think I am officially not to lift anything over 25 pounds anymore. I tried to lift my puppy's food from the shelf to the cart, and couldn't manage it. So I think I am officially off heavy lifting duty. 

It started snowing today. :( I was hoping it would hold off until after my baby shower this weekend. Oh well, I guess it means warmer beverages for this weekend. :) 

I have no idea what is planned for my approaching baby shower, but I'm excited to be around so many of my family and friends. It seems that there are more and more reasons for the family to get together. I am so excited for all of the approaching family fun, I just wish I could travel to be apart of everything. 

My soon-to-be sister-in-law is getting married December 21st. Her and her fiance are perfect for one another, and are so adorable together. :)  My hunny and I are getting married January 4th. :) It's going to be a small wedding, immediate family and close family friends. Welcoming my little princess into the world. :)  Then a little farther out, my other soon-to-be sister-in-law is getting married. Her and her fiance seem to be so alike. They both are very grounded in their faith. And hopefully, many more new additions to the ever growing family. :) 

The only thing missing in the many joyous events to come, is my hunny. Unfortunately this is one of those things that comes with being in a relationship with a military man. However, I wouldn't change anything because my hunny is following his dreams, and I couldn't be more proud of him. He has given up a lot (like every other military members), but he has also gained a lot. 

Day 5 of Thankful November 
I am Thankful for my friends. My friend group has changed over the past 3 years, but I wouldn't change a thing about it. I have a few friends from back when I was in high school, but I also have made new friendships. Friends are an important part of my life, but I consider my friends to be more like family, than just a friend. So I am thankful for all of my friends I've had in my life. Whether we were friends for a few months or friends for years, each friend has changed me or made me a better person.
