Thanksgiving Review

Happy post post post turkey day! Today my dad was walking up to his office and as he passed by me he said " well I guess thanksgiving is really over now" is his classic Eeyore woe is me sounding voice, he made me laugh and get a little sad at the same time. Our thanksgiving was wonderful, great food, family from all over had come to visit, good movies,and great shopping. And my favorite moment was when dad tried to run from the living room, through the kitchen, past the pantry and through the back hallway to the dining room for the annual Coons' family pre-dinner picture. It was so funny and dad was really hauling. I am sad to say I didn't video tape Meg's "sippa booty" aka sleeping beauty or Mariah's "Feed the birds" but I do have some pictures I will get posted really soon ta ta for now

Laser tag, alphabet tag, herbie tag,etc etc etc

I know I am behind on blogging but I really haven't had anything extremely fun or even too uplifting to blog about. Don't get me wrong life is grand I just get into routine and don't think anyone wants to hear about refrigerators going out right after you went to Costco, or funerals. So I'll get to my tagging

What I was doing ten years ago:Junior At Bonanza high school, driving the dope green rodeo,playing league soccer with Celtics United Red and had just finished varsity quiz,the best club I ever joined in high school,and I lettered in it

What I was doing five years ago:Serving a mission in Argentina,my 7th area-Brandsen the only area I had for longer than 6 weeks,i ended up with thirteen areas, practically the entire mission.I was with my favorite comp, Hermana Zeballos (onions is her last name) We lived in a little home and had about 11 cats in our courtyard, it was a crazy time but i loved it

One year ago: Spending a ton of time with my Brett, he was practically my first counselor in the primary.

Yesterday
:Worked at good ol SVFD,and the JJ paper co. Talked to Katie on the phone and watched Julie sing dance and vacuum her store. It was great, sometimes she'll bust out old Merluzzi ballet routines. I can't remember routines but the tap warm up and the shuffle ball change are always with me.

5 snacks I enjoy: Gala apples cut in an apple slicer, almonds, peanut butter m&ms, plain cheerios with sugar, string cheese and Ritz

5 things I would do if I had $100 million dollars: Buy a house, set up college funds for our baby and babies to come, take my whole family and Brett's family to the Four Seasons Resort wailea on Maui bayne style during Easter break to see all the celebs that show up then ( Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pamela Anderson, David hasselhoff, kid rock, Oscar de la hoya, Rod Stewart and the guy from entertainment tonight with the bad toupee), Go back to Argentina for a month or two, Donate a good chunk to research for pediatric cancers
5 places I would love to run away to: Australia, Greece, Disneyland, NYC, London

5 TV shows I like: Jeopardy, Grey's, The Singing Bee, Project Runway (yippee new season) and a little Oprah

5 things I hate doing:Finding clothes that fit me now, I don't like tight or even a little snug on my tummy, taking out my neighbors stinky trash because they leave it there FOREVER, unloading the dishwasher (Brett says I load it wrong anyway)Being really late for anything, although I'm always late no matter how hard I try. And last of all depositing checks at wells Fargo, they try to make me open every kind of account possible there savings, money market, credit card and they have lost two of my checks. My account with them closes november 31st whahoooo!

5 biggest joys of the moment: Feeling my baby kick(he's got a foot), Seeing the bosty and getting little loves from her, she likes to point at my tummy and say bebe, getting to spend time with Brett on friday night's its our one night off together, looking at all the fun toys,strollers,bedding, and just about everything else associated with a new baby on the way!

I think I am the last of my blogging friends to answer the tag --how sad I need to make some more friends

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
