Excitement.....

Today was a very hectic day...... Lots on the to-do list, but thankfully I got everything checked off. It's 11:15 pm and I'm all done!!!! Tired, but done.....Yay!!!! Who said you couldn't fit it all in one day??? Ha ha....

Tomorrow is our annual Thanksgiving potluck at my work. I did this a little different this year and signed up for a vegetarian entree instead of dessert (since we already had like 4 people sign up for desserts) I decide to make 2 quiches for my non-face eating friends. It smells really good!!! Hopefully it tastes good too!!! It's spinach and onion with Roma tomatoes on top. Cheddar and Gruyere cheese...MmMmmm... I took a few pics but I'll post them some other time, only if it tastes good!!! Hahahaha!

When Noah and I got home from puppy school, Mark was on the phone talking seriously with his big bro Jeff. It ends up that my sister in law has gone into labor!!!! So Mark went to stay the night at Jeff's house and watch their 3 boys... I'm so excited for them. Here she comes, the girl they wanted!!!! Little Emma!!!! Hopefully it will all go smoothly (and quickly) for Brandie!!! She's a professional!!!!!

Noah also got his second stripe on his camouflage belt today!! (I'm so proud) He is really doing a great job!! We just have to work on sparring. There is the challenge. Learning aggressive combo kicks and really hard punching....That's definitely something new for my docile child!!! So, that's our homework!!!

Did I mention my little sis Melly turned 18?!?!??!?!?! Where did the time go? I can't believe she is legal. It seems like just yesterday that Terri and I were trying to figure out a way to make her name extra special..... (We spelled it Mellyza instead of Melissa) So when you pronounce it, it should sound more like mel-eeee-sa.... I don't know what we were thinking, we were 9 and 13 years old making things up!!! :)~ Good times!!! So she had a few friends over and we bbq'd at my moms house on Sat. night. We ended up over there on Sunday night too since there were so many leftovers!!! I love family nights like that!!! It just reminds me to be grateful to be sooo close to them!!!

We brought Obi to my moms house so he could play with his brother too. We took them out into the backyard and they ran and played and fought till they were pooped out!!!! Then Sonic and Obi went into Sonics crate and snuggled each other!!!! Nothing like brotherly love!!!!

Too cute!!! I love those doggies!!! Obi did pretty good at his second class of puppy training today. He is a very shy walker. Like, REALLY shy... We had to walk the dogs around the store for like 15 minutes, doing a loose leash walk. Well, Obi was cleaning the floor for them because I had to drag him around the whole store. He wouldn't walk unless he saw another dog in front of him. And as soon as they turned the corner, he plopped back down on the ground! The trainer said to drag him until he gets that he has to walk, and that he is just nervous of being in such a big area (because he's fine when we're in the smaller classroom), and to be patient with him. It was his first time. So we also started learning the sit command. He was too distracted during class because his little girlfriend Faith was next to him, but when we got home and practiced it, he did a great job with the command. He did ace his homework!!!! (the "watch me" command) He will watch for almost 10 seconds before he looks away. So we know we have his attention. I am loving this puppy training course. I think the next one I will take is the click a trick class where they teach them tricks!! How fun!!!

This weekend should be fun too. Saturday I work as usual, and I'm on back up call till 11pm. But in the evening Kimmy and I are going to go to a Rock a Billy show to watch our friend play!!!! Girls night!!! I'm so glad... Then on Sunday, my friend Frankie and I are going to go to Ikea to pick up some boxes and other goodies for our Christmas Craft and Baking Extravaganza that we'll be having at my place next month. I can't wait. I haven't been to Ikea in almost a year!!! I think I'm having withdrawals!!!! LMFAO!!!! That's a shame!!!

Well, it's almost midnight and I better get to bed, since I'll be doing the morning routine on my own tomorrow...Take care everyone!! Have a great rest of the week. I'll post updates on my sister in law when I get them!!!
