Turkey Day

Sorry for the lack of posts I've just been so busy between getting ready for the holidays, painting/moving, wedding planning, etc I feel like I have no time to breathe!

House is going well. We painted the family room (still needs another coat even though we've done 1 of primer and 2 paint and some touch ups), are currently working on the office (craig and his damn 2 tone room is making it a bitch) and the living/dining room, and trying to decide on a color for the kitchen and master. I know, I need to post pictures and I will one of these days. We are trying to sell craig's couch. It's a very nice couch it just doesn't go with what we have and he doesn't have a matching loveseat or chair either. Getting adjusted to living with another person, let alone a boy. I've been living alone since my last year at tech so it's a change.

Wedding planning is going ok. We found a spot we really like but neither or us cares for the food/beverage manager who we would have to work a lot with. You ask him a question and he gives you a totally round about answer! And I'm not convinced that you can really fit the 100+ people we anticipate on the balcony for the ceremony. He says that you can only after I say about 100 and then he says "yeah that should fit out here." When you look at the picture I count about 80 chairs and it looks like a tight fit. I'm ok with if we have over 100 some having to stand but I want at least though 100 sitting, and not on top of each other!

Thanksgiving was good. We went to the in-laws of course. His family is cool and the food was good but sometimes I just run out of things to say. They sit there and talk about people they know and I have no clue who they are talking about. The ladies sit in one room and talk so I go and watch football with the men but worry that I am viewed as anti-social then. I don't know them too well and only have so much to say. It's fine when craig is in the room but when he's not I lack conversation. Plus sleeping on the floor which leads to a sore back and tiredness doesn't help much...

This next weekend we have my work x-mas party on friday and his on saturday. I think we may skip mine as last year it was super long and extremely mind numbing. HIs should be fun excact the girls he works with always give me dirty looks.

I haven't gotten too far with xmas shopping, in fact I have bought nothing. Craig and I have decided to not exchange gifts as we have no money. I keep asking my mom and sister for ideas and they have given me nothing. At this point they are going to get nothing because I have 1 day a week I can mail things and there are only 2 of those days left so without suggestions I have nothing to buy. ;)

Anyhow, I'll try to post some pictures soon. My patient is here so I better get going.

Don't worry, I sit in the living room with the men, I always have. The women don't mind at J's. They talk about all kinds of crap and I'd much rather sit and watch sports.

I usually sit with the little kids. I'd honestly rather have tots climbing on me than listening to the women and watching sports...
