Shock

Yes, you can be in shock that I am actually posting something to my blog. There is so much to write about so I am just going to give you a quick list:

• Words cannot express how excited I am about Obama being my next president!
• Brian's parents are going to come out in February while Brian and I head to Whidbey Island for a few nights. They have a theater, winery and cooking school where we are going to stay in Langley.
• We are going to have a house full for Thanksgiving this year. Brian's brother Eric will be flying out from Milwaukee, Vanessa's two cousins (in law? Is that how I say it? They are Dan's cousins - Vanessa's husband) will be joining us, and my cousin and her husband will be here as well. I'm floating around the idea of a seafood Thanksgiving.
• My WHOLE family will be here for Christmas this year!
• I made three pots of soup this weekend: Chili, Split pea and ham, and Squash and black bean.
• Nic is going to be 1 in a couple weeks. Holy crap.
• Last but certainly not least, I officially weigh 10 pounds less than when I got pregnant with Nic! Yee Hoo!
