So much to be thankful for

This last month has been filled with wonderful moments. I hope I can remember them all - I'll do my best.

What sticks out in my mind to start is that I attended the seminar for my Lamaze Certification. It was an intense, 3 day seminar filled with information. My brain was completely full at the end of the seminar but I was so excited. Still am actually! I'm currently working on my curriculum, am set to student teach in January/February, will sit for the exam that is offered in April and hopefully will then be certified!! Here's a cool clip of the weekend.

When I was young, I felt like such a rock star to discover that "11 can never be backwards." I was relentlessly teased about this by my brother and sister for the majority of my upbringing. ha! Well, on 11/11/11, by Dad and step-mom threw me an "11 Can Never Be Backwards Party." It was incredible! They went way beyond anything I expected. We had an amazing time!




This year for Thanksgiving we broke the mold of the last several years. Ross and I stayed home with Jude and made our own Thanksgiving meal. We had a wonderful time!! We were really able to relax and enjoy our little family! We missed seeing everyone but had such a good time together! We are so thankful for our family!









Then, we hung Christmas lights and set up the Christmas tree!

Can't wait until Christmas!
