November Goals

Can you even believe we are into November already? I started looking for Christmas gifts the other day. I have already purchased 1 present for T and got a few stocking stuffer free from church. Time is just flying by so fast for me!

This year I think we have decided to skip Thanksgiving holiday and focus on everything else going on. Thanksgiving has NEVER been a favorite holiday of mine. I don't like turkey, stuffing or cranberry sauce and now that I live far away from family. I'm always with my in-laws. So this year I have decided to skip Thanksgiving. Now don't misinterpret this, I am VERY thankful for what the lord has blessed me with and I thank him everyday sometimes several times a day. I just don't need a month or a day to be thankful.

Now, plans do change so here are my two holiday options.
1. Surgery and be layed up in bed
2. Go to a friends house and eat
Why?
I prefer to have my surgery over the holiday so that I don't have to worry about carpool.
My husband has to work so I'll be alone anyway.

So, moving on to more fun things...My updated Oct. Goals and new Nov. goals
