One More Thing to be Grateful for

I can't help but be grateful right now. I'm so excited to be starting a new chapter in my life. It's scary, but I know it will be wonderful! I'm starting my new job next week. I'll be in orientation on Monday and the first half of Tuesday. After orientation on Tuesday, I will officially be at my new job! I'm working for Pacific Crest Family Medicine. It's an office of three doctors and two PA's. As a bonus to the new job, I get to work with an old coworker who I love. Amy Treat was my first boss at Starbucks. In fact she hired me, so it wasn't a supprise that she wanted to work with me again. It's been fun getting to know and grow with Amy. In fact, she was pregnant at the same time I was with her daughter Eva. We were due only ten days apart so it was nice to go though the weirdness of being pregnant with someone else. But she has some exciting news of her own. She is having another little girl at the end of next month. She is scheduled to have a c-section on the 30th. We are so excited for their family! And I'm happy that everyone is well and happy. I can't wait to tell you all about the new mission.

Thanksgiving!!!!!

Giving thanks for yet another wonderful day(s) of eating and fun shared with family and friends. As always Justin had to work, so Kenzie and I did a little sleeping in, (if you call 6:30 sleeping in) and then we got ready for our day. We had to run into town to pick up the extremely important dinner rolls after botching homemade versions the night before. I'm not sure what exactly what went wrong, but I'm sure it was a combination of the lack of sleep I had that day and the hour in which I was baking. So after the roll rescue I returned to my mother's house to drop them off just in case Kenz and I where late to dinner #2. After this we returned to town, this time stopping off at Starbucks for a little pick me up and some holiday cheer from friends. Then we were off to the fire station to have dinner and desert #1. We brought yummy homemade pumpkin and a mixed berry & apple pies. We ate and ate and ate till it was time to go onto the next feast. #2 was much better than #1, partly because things are just better at Mom's house and also because I helped a lil more with this one. And again, we ate and ate and ate. It was so good! So good in fact, that we just happened to enjoy a second round of food Friday night!
