Thankful

since it's thanksgiving week i thought it only fitting to write a post about the things i'm most thankful for.

i'm thankful for my siblings

oh my gosh that picture is so old but that's the only picture i have of all of us.

i'm so lucky to have brothers and sisters that live close by (except derek. sad face.) and that i'm actually seriously friends with.

especially my sisters. they're my best friends and i love them to pieces!

i'm thankful for my daddy

he is the most selfless person i know.

every single time i need something i immediately bust out my phone to call my dad.

he knows how to do everything!

he's my mechanic, my mover, my handyman, my confidant.

he's my daddy! he's amazing and i don't know what i'd do without him.

i'm thankful for Padme

it may sound stupid to say i'm thankful for a puppy but she's my baby.

she was so teeny tiny when we got her. 

she was and still is so stinkin cute! i love her!

i'm thankful for Matt

(i'm sure this one goes without saying but i'm gonna say it anyway)

he is by far the best thing that's ever happened to me!

the first picture i ever took of Matt.
i was trying to be sneaky so he wouldn't know so it's a picture of his reflection.
yes i am a loser.

he's so much more than i deserve.

so there you have it, the things i'm most thankful for!
i hope everyone has a happy turkey day!

THANKSGIVING!

seth cohen always says it best!

i am so excited that this week is thanksgiving! 

food, family, food, being thankful and more food.

and i only have to work 3 days this week which of course is THE best part!

BRING ON THE TURKEY!

i need new lungs

'tis the season to get sick.

i've had this stupid half cold for over a month now but this past week it finally decided to show its ugly face and settle in my chest.

i already have terrible nerdy asthma so this kind of sickness is a big no no.

i can't stop wheezing and taking deep breaths hurts like a mo fo and i have to try not to laugh because it sends me into an asthmatic fit.

so yeah, no bueno.

and of course during the 4 day holiday weekend it just gets worse and worse.

Saturday i could hardly get out of bed because even walking up and down the stairs was too hard on my lungs and i stayed up practically all night because sleeping became too scary.

luckily i have Matt.

that boy did everything he could to make me feel better all weekend.

he cooked for me, he cleaned for me, he rubbed my back, he watched tv with me all night long when i couldn't sleep.

he's the best. be jealous.

but on Sunday it just got too much to handle and we were scared i might actually have pneumonia so we had to make a trip to urgent care.

i got chest x-rays and the doctor said i have bronchitis and if i waited any longer it could've turned into pneumonia because my lungs aren't strong enough to handle the sickness.

i got put on antibiotics and steroids and i have to do breathing treatments every 4 hours.

so this is me.

getting over my sickness every 4 hours.

and i mean every. 4. hours.

Matt yells at me if i don't. in a loving, sweet kind of way of course.

but we're so glad it's not pneumonia and i'll hopefully be good as new in a week or so.

i can't wait.

Thanksgiving Moments to Remember!

welcome to this year's Thanksgiving Moments to Remember.

we have 2 great moments for this year's turkey day starting with...

1. Trey the Gamer

my nephew Trey is 5 years old and ridiculously cute, funny and crazy.

i can honestly say that i've never seen that kid sit still for over 10 minutes but this year on Thanksgiving he sat for a good 2 hours without moving at all.

i bet he didn't even blink.

turns out he's incredible at the game Angry Birds.

i'm talking beating some of our high scores incredible!

as soon as dinner was over he played Angry Birds on Matt's phone until it died and then he played on mine until we had to leave.

i got my phone back from him and he stood up from the chair he had been in for 2 hours straight and we all noticed something.

his little pants were soaking wet!

apparently Trey loves Angry Birds so much he can't be bothered with things like going to the bathroom or telling his aunt Sari she might not want to sit next to him anymore because she'll get soaking wet without even noticing.

yes, he loves it that much.

perfect Thanksgiving moment to remember.

2. Matt Gets All UFC

some families spend Thanksgiving watching heart warming Christmas movies to get them in the gift giving mood and be filled with the spirit of Christmas.

but my family likes to watch grown men smashing each other's faces in instead.

we're just hardcore like that.

but we learned a very important lesson, Matt is not allowed to watch UFC anymore.

it gets him all riled up and he tries demonstrating moves and ends up accidentally doing this.

poor little J.J.'s face with Matt fingers on it.

and poor little Matt who wouldn't hurt a fly so feels extra horribly terrible about this.

he even hates when people talk about it because it makes him feel bad all over again.

which means i better stop now.

still a great Thanksgiving moment to remember!

turrrrrrkey

only a little over an hour until i stuff my face with all kinds of yummy delicious tasty scrumdiddlyumptious food!

and even though both Matt and i are sick today with sore throats and runny noses i'm still thankful for today!

and i'm thankful for another 4 day weekend!

and the fact that christmas is just around the corner!

we even listened to christmas music in the car today which makes me thankful for 99.9 the holiday station!

and today i'm also thankful for Chase and Amy letting us borrow their Wii so we could play Super Mario Brothers all day long!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
