Weekly Update- My Christmas Job and More!

I was dedicated to writing on our blog more and here I go a few weeks without writing.  I think because I have been writing in my journal more and being busy and tired it just hasn't gotten done. Plus it feels overwhelming thinking I have to "catch up" but hey is my blog so I am saying I don't have to catch up.

• The kids had Wednesday and Friday off due to Thanksgiving. Its been so fun having them home.  They are soooooo excited about the holidays.
• We had Thanksgiving with Lou's parents, its fun but it is different than my family growing up. I loved Thanksgiving with my family.  The food was always delicious but simple so it didn't seem my mom had to be working constantly.  We would eat snacks, chip and dip, fruit salad, cookies, veggies and dip. We would play games while watching Christmas movies.  I loved it.  Grandma Field would come it was great.  Lou's family celebrates a little different. Seems like no one is really allowed to eat before the meal (so I brought chips and dip for us) and we brought games but no one seemed to want to play with us.. kind of meh kind of holiday good but not the best.  I read my  friend Robyns post about their family's Thanksgiving it seemed so cool. The kids did a talent show, they played Turkey Bingo, played games, sounds like fun, how I picture Thanksgiving.
• I found my camera... yippee!!! So from now expect pictures with my posts.
• I got a temporary job at the BYU Bookstore for Christmas filling their online orders.  I have worked twice now, its hard work but fun. It will be nice to have the extra money this time of year. Plus it turns out a friend from my last ward Jessica Wilson is working there too :)
• Last week Robin and I went to our friend's Bridget's step-dad's funeral. He died at 59 of a heart attack.  I feel so sad for Bridget. She was close to her step-dad he was her dad. I am happy Robin and I could go to the funeral and support our dear friend.  Robin lost her mom 2 years ago this time of year.  Its nice they can support each other and truly understand what one another is going through.
• I have a follow up appointment with my doctor on Tuesday.  He did a bunch of blood work 2 weeks ago. Hopefully we figure out why I feel so hypo all the time.
• We want to do the 12 Days of Christmas with our Sunday School Class. We are having them decide on the family. If you have any good ideas of what we can do for the days, please share :)
• Jazz beat the Lakers on Friday. It was awesome!
• I have an idea for gifts for my friends and sisters I am excited about it.
• Its hard to believe its less than a month till Christmas.  I love my kids' ages they are so excited. I am always excited about Christmas. December is such a fun month!

Alright that is all I can think of to write about. Hopefully it will be sooner than 2 or 3 weeks when I update next!
