For those of you following my medical issues... I'm not broken anymore
Hello monthly gift.
This also means that I won't be starting birth control next month since my body is fixing itself. Hooray!
Although, I have decided if I'm not pregnant before August 2013, I will put it on hold until December 2013. Traveling around the end of a pregnancy is a bad idea, and my sister graduates in June of 2014.

Thanksgiving Fun
I left Wednesday, hit some traffic but got to my parents in 4 hours 15 minutes.
We ran to the mall to say hi to my sister at Forever 21, then hung out at the house while daddy made cornbread and chili.
Thursday, my parents made dinner. My grandma came over at 1. My aunt and her boyfriend at 4 and we ate at 430. We had turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, broccoli salad, sweet potatoes, and I think that's it. It was DELICIOUS!
After dinner, Abigail and I went to see Breaking Dawn and it really was the best one! Surprise ending and all!
Friday, we went to a nearby park. Abigail and I walked around and our parents ran. Then we went to the mall for a few hours before Abigail had to work. Daddy and I played on the Wii before going back to the mall to get Abigail.
Saturday, we went to Christmas Town at Busch Gardens. It was super cold so only a handful of actual rides were open. But I really just wanted to walk around and look at the pretty lights anyway. We saw 2 of their musical shows, drank hot chocolate, had toasted, sweetened pecans and almonds and had dinner. We rode the train around the park to see different lights. We walked through most of the areas and one of them had a snow machine. Haha. You know you're in the south when you run into a snow machine. We went on the sky ride and saw more lights. It was a lot of fun. We froze. We sang Christmas songs. Then we froze some more.
This is the Pompeii Ride. They drained the water for winter, and covered it with lights. Those purple trees are 6 feet tall so you can get an idea of how many lights this really is.

Santa's workshop. Santa was inside taking pictures with babies and such
This tree changed colors and lit up different areas every half hour to music.

That stupid petition to secede
I have a dilemma. One of Steve's sergeants was bragging about signing that petition. He is in the US Air Force. He wants to leave the US and his commander-in-chief, President Obama. I feel like signing that petition is abandonment of country which is punishable. I feel like any member of the military in any of the branches that signs the petition to leave the US should be kicked out immediately.
I really don't know if it's that big of a deal. I don't know if it should be considered abandonment of country. I just personally feel like it is.
Honestly, I don't want someone who wants to leave the US to be my husband's wingman in a war zone. I feel like that person has no loyalty to his country, how can I expect him to have loyalty to my husband who is fighting wholeheartedly for his country?
Thoughts?

Happy Veterans Day
I've always felt this way. Glad someone else does, too. It's ridiculous how much money professional players make.
Anyway, Happy Veterans Day! I come from a long line of military, and I'm proud of it!
Thank you to everyone who has served and is serving - not just armed forces, but police and firefighters, too. Thank you to the spouses, children and families who have sacrificed so much to support their veteran. My husband has not been deployed yet, but I am still slowly learning all of the sacrifices that comes with this and they pretty much suck. Haha.

Pets and Natural Disasters
http://www.peoplepets.com/people/pets/gallery/0,,20645567,00.html#21237579
"LeeAnn Rivera and her seven children fled their Queens, N.Y., apartment, which was completely flooded by the disaster. Sadly, they had to leave their dog and three cats behind. ASPCA responders rescued the brood from the wreckage and brought them to the Queens College evacuation shelter where the family is now living."
This seriously pissed me off. First of all, if she had evacuated like she was told and planned ahead even a little, she wouldn't have left her animals stranded or in need of rescuing. Who knows what even happened to the cats? Second, domesticated animals entrust you with their lives. They are living, breathing creatures. Third, don't bring a life into your home that you are not willing to even consider in the event of an emergency. There were places set up all over the area in the path of this storm where you could take your pets before hand. All of NYC knew it was in the path.
Steve and I have a plan. I grab Jasmine, he grabs the folder of our life. I am extremely grateful to have sprinklers in every room. In the event of a fire, with us home or not, my cat will not burn to death. She may be wet and pissed off at the end of the day, but she will be safe and alive.
Obviously, you can't plan for all natural disasters. But people need to have a plan for their pets with the ones you can plan for, such as Sandy.
Rant over.

Over sharing
Only a few people I know in real life (and none of them are family) read my blog. So I feel safe talking about the baby stuff here.
Do you find it weird to learn your friends/family are trying for a baby? I mean, there's just one way most people make a baby...
So I'm super uncomfortable with letting anyone know that we are now trying. Which makes me realize that the internet has turned people into over-sharers...
