Happy Thanksgiving

I'm so thankful that I have a wonderful husband and family and friends. I'm also thankful for the knowledge that I have about the gospel, and what it fullfills in my life!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

11:59 is REALLY late


When Michelle's phone alarm went off at 10:45pm we just looked at each other and our face just lit up!!! IT WAS TIME!



The movie, I thought, was REALLY great!


Of course when you take a book and make into a movie they always:


* add new things

* remove parts that (you think) are important

* change things


I think that for the most part they did a fantastic job, straight from the get go. I will admit I was a little nervous about seeing it, I had VERY high expectation, and for the most part the movie lived up to them.


If you haven't read the book, I strongly suggest that you read it before you see the movie. They do have a few lines in there that just sound silly if you don't know what they are talking about, but were too great to leave out of the movie.


Of course a few scenes were FANTASTIC! The Baseball Scene was my all time favorite, along with Doc. Cullen's entrance scene. (YUMMY)

I think out of all the the actors Emmett was was the most yummy!


I didn't want the movie to end, I wanted it to continue to the next books, I could have sat there all night and watch them all! (or this one over and over)


I can't wait until next week when I get to see it again with another SIL.

The Raw truth... Do I really want to share this???



The main part of our house is always for the most part clean, when I say clean I mean picked up, vacuumed, dusted. all the good stuff. Normally I "clean" our house on Saturday mornings. For the past few weeks I've cleaned but by the time I get to our bedroom I just don't want to do it, so all the clothes and odds and ends that belong in either our bedroom or our bathroom end up on the bed. Well, bedtime rolls around and I don't feel like putting them away at 12:00 or 1:00am so they either end up on the counter in the bathroom or on the floor.

Yesterday this Finally Got to me! I couldn't take it anymore! I really don't think Ira could take it anymore either. We were both getting grumpy anytime we had to go in the bathroom. EKK! Was it really that bad??!!??


So I cleaned and cleaned, Swept and mopped, and scrubbed! The bathroom and our room is FINALLY clean! It feels so good to have a clean bathroom. I even put everything I used this morning to get ready for the day away.



Having a dirty house really makes me crazy! On Monday's if I haven't cleaned the Saturday before. I give myself little rewards for cleaning. Like I can't watch my stories (Young and the Restless) until I have a clean kitchen and living room. Or something else like that.
Anyway, The good news is that I have a CLEAN bathroom again!!!!!!!
