Mmm...Turkey and Potatoes

Happy Thanksgiving!


Ted and I are spending time at the Polleys Parents today. I am kind of bummed about not seeing anyone on my side of the family, but it is nice to just relax and not have to travel anywhere far.

Dad and Tami are in Florida visiting my Grandma Barbara.
Mom and Nick live in Alaska.
Erica, Chris and Emma live in Pennsylvania.
Sam, Bill, Olivia, Izabella and my Grandpa all live 4 hours downstate.

So, our options were sort of limited anyway. I have a lot of school work to do this weekend as well so I can make sure I graduate. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all and remember to count your blessings. There are so many things to be thankful for that are easy to forget.

An Early Christmas Surprise!

Sorry I have not posted in so long (for those of you who check this daily, waiting for my next magnificent post)...

I have been sooo busy with school (Dec. 13th is the big day!), and moving into our new house. Ted and I have been trying to put our house together before Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I think we may be 99% done by Christmas.

Right now we are painting our bedroom. The color is called Mercer Blue, or in other words a grayish-blue. It is very nice and is going to go awesome with our new sleigh bed. Today we are actually going to paint the trim and we will be done.

Our next item to tackle will be furniture/TV. We are going to be buying bits and pieces over the next few months as our budget allows. We are excited, and our house already feels like home.

So you are probably wondering what the early Christmas surprise is....well, for those of you who do not already know, I am pregnant!

It is crazy, fun, exciting, and even more CRAZY! But we love it and we are so excited for this little baby growing in my belly as we speak (or type). Right now, I am 11 weeks along, so I am not showing or wearing maternity clothes or anything like that....yet.

All I can say is that God couldn't have planned a better time for us to have a baby. He or she will be born around June 13th, a perfect little summer baby! :) I have all winter and spring to care for and nourish this baby while it grows, we can't wait!!!!!

So, I guess the next item on our To Do list should be the nursery!

Love you all!
