Alive Again



I feel like it's been so long since I last even got on this thing. We basically disappeared for a month. All of my family came up for Thanksgiving, which was awesome. Robert was with them!!! It was so good to see him. It was even more fun seeing him play with Cassidy. It's good to have him home again. Anyway, we had a huge Thanksgiving dinner party (about 40 adults) which I had the pleasure of being in charge of. It all went really well. I was so excited.

We had a blast being together as a family. We basically just played racquetball and watched the kids play together for two days. It was nice to sit back, talk, catch up and have fun.

Sunday my family took off for the ride back to California. It was sad because my dad started feeling down. He ended up having the stomach flu. Unfortunately it didn't stop there. My sister and her hubby caught it on Monday, I had it monday night, Chris had it Tuesday morning (first time he's had a flu since he went on his mission) and so on. It was like a pyramid flu that hit the whole family the whole next week. Poor cassi couldn't keep solids down for a week after she first caught it. It was horrible. After guaranteeing our house for awhile, it finally went away and we feel human again.

Our fun news is now we're busy looking at houses. We want to get into a house by about March or April of next year, but we're looking now. As soon as we find something, we're going for it. I can't wait to be a home owner! Sad part is it's going to push back the second car for awhile, so Cassi and I are going to be stranded this winter. Cabin fever here I come. Oh well.

Hope everyone is having fun with Christmas prep! Love and miss you all!!!
