In Love

Well folks, it's happened. I am in love. Sorry Jay, but it's not you. I would like to thank Katelyns Mom for introducing us. We have spent every night together since we first met and I can't get enough of it. I happened to introduce my family to it and they insisted on it joining us each night as well. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful hot fudge. I am concerned it may turn on me one day and stay with me more than I would like, especially around my hips, but for the time being we could spend every waking moment together.

Thanksgiving Week in Review

What a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I was able to spend time with my husband and my family, two things I can never get enough of. Greg and Britt finally had their so my parents came to spend time with their new beautiful granddaughter. My dad snuck away a few times to go visit Anilyn claiming he was getting WD40 for my squeeky door. I put up my Christmas Tree and decorations (finally! I've been ready since Halloween). I love this time of year, everyone is so nice and chipper.

While my family was here we made a trip down to Lewiston to look at the lights. My mom LOVES Christmas lights and her favorite thing to do is drive around looking at them. She was in awe of the lights at Locomotive Park.

We spent Thanksgiving with the Rigby's this year. It was a blast. We ate dinner at 2 when the turkey was supposed to be done, but the turkey didn't join us until 5. I actually have decided this is the best way to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. We ate tons at 2, had pie at 3, had turkey and stuffing at 5. I never felt over stuffed and I was able to enjoy all my favorites. We played lots of games and I somehow Steve and I tied in Dominoes. He cheats though, so really I won.

My favorite part of the week was Black Friday. I love shopping and somehow getting up at 3:30 a.m. doesn't bother me this one day a year. I wasn't that impressed with the ads this year, but that didn't stop me from standing in freezing cold lines waiting to get in the stores. I don't think Jay would have married me if he would have known what he was getting into.

Baby Anilyn

After 9 long, miserable months Greg and Britt finally had their baby. I just wanted the little baby to come out and play with her aunt Camille but Britt insisted that she "wasn't done yet". On Wednesday afternoon she was finally done. I am a very proud aunt of two beautiful little girls, Evelyn and Anilyn. I wish Evelyn were closer so I could play with her, but at least I have one little girl to love.

Tribute to the Foutches

I would just like to make a tribute to the Foutches. They introduced us to the most amazing show, Psych. It is 11:16 p.m., way past my bedtime. I am usually asleep, not just in bed, but asleep by 10 p.m. But tonight, I am still awake, all because of Psych. We love it. Might be a little bit addicted, but hey, at least it's a good show :)

Frisbee Golf

Lately my wonderful husband has been playing frisbee golf with one of our friends, Brian. Last night I told him he had to take the camera with him and take pictures so I could scrapbook them. He looked at me like I had grown a third head. Apparently he doesn't understand how important scrapbooking is and why I need documentation of everything. I figure that it's become a part of his life and we need to have it recorded for our kids. So he reluctantly took the camera with him. He may look like he is picking his nose or eating a sucker, but I believe he is licking his finger to check the direction of the wind. What a geek! Thanks for entertaining him Brian!

Fall Frenzy

Last Sunday we convinced my best friend (next to my Mom) to take our pictures for our family Christmas cards. Some of you may be thinking "What?! She doesn't have them done yet?" while others are thinking "Girl, it's only the first of November, you have at least a month before you need to be thinking about this." Well, for those of you who are thinking I'm behind, they are done. I just need to address the envelopes and wait until December to mail them out. For those of you are thinking I can wait, I am waiting until December 1. I love holidays.

Well, Thanksgiving is alright, but I LOVE Christmas. I love the feeling of Christmas, I love the decorations and gift giving. But what I love most is decorating the tree. Weird, yes, but then I can start wrapping presents and putting them under the tree and oh, it just gives me chills. Last year my roommate, Morgan, made me wait until after Halloween to put up my tree, which would mean if she still lived here, I would be putting it up right now. My my new roommate, Jay, aka my husband, tells me "No"! Can you believe it?! He won't let me put my tree up until after Thanksgiving. I don't understand. The mall is already decorated for Christmas, why can't my house? Needless to say we had to come to a compromise. So right after Thanksgiving dinner I get to put up my tree. :)

Anyhow, we took our family pictures which ended up in a leaf fight. But hey, we had fun. You will be seeing some of these pictures in the Christmas card yet to come. Check your postal boxes on December 3 for the first installment of the Rigby Family Christmas Card.
