Dan and Allyx: November 2012

It is almost December! What?! Goodness gracious the last few months have gone by crazy fast. Good news is, it's Christmas time! I love this time of the year so so much. It makes me feel all cozy. We put up Christmas yesterday which is always a good time. We listened to the greats singing Christmas songs and watched the Polar Express, ELF, Harry Potter (1 AND 2), and A Muppet's Christmas Carol. Not all yesterday... that would be insane. But you know, since Thanksgiving ended and Christmas started.

Anyway, things are so happy right now! We are in our new house, which we love. An outlet mall was just built RIGHT NEXT TO US, so that is wonderful news. I feel it was meant to be for us to live in that location. I think I have started nesting though because I have decided to take on like 500 projects, and unfortunately for Dan, I need his help on most of them. We have been painting, reupholstering, and crafting like crazy people lately. Luckily, he's a sweety and is putting up with me!

We stayed here for Thanksgiving and went to dinner with my sister at her inlaws. It was delicious food and really fun. We played this game called Wits and Wagers. It is a trivia game so I thought I would hate it. Dan is too good at trivia for me to ever have any fun, but it was actually the bomb.com and I want to get it. I really love my sister's inlaws. They are good folk.

Our little man is ALMOST HERE. Holy crapola! Only 4 weeks away. I'm so excited! and scared! I've been focusing on getting things ready for him, but now I need to try and get me ready. I mean he has been pretty easy to take care of inside my belly, but it makes me so nervous to think he will actually be a human, here with us in just a couple of weeks! How crazy! and awesome! I think he will be the best behaved, smartest, and funniest baby around. Obviously. And he will never poop on me. Maybe on Dan, but not me. Anyway, like I said, I think I am nesting. I just want to clean everything all the time. And that is so not like me. I also want to sleep all the time. But that is very much like me. Dan has to literally push me out of bed now because I am too big and uncomf to move myself. I have mastered rolling while he shoves me and then I basically plop off the bed and stand up. It works pretty good and does a lot for my self esteem.

Well in lieu of Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, I want to say that we are so grateful for so much right now. We have amazing family and friends that have taken such good care of us and are always looking out for us. We wouldn't be where we are without them! Also, I am the luckiest girl ever to have a guy like Dan. He works so hard and makes me laugh always. I lurve him like a billion. I'm grateful for this holiday season where we can all be a little more Christlike!
