Thanksgiving Eve

The turkey is in the fridge doing the final thaw out, cranberries are nestled in the fruit drawer awaiting to be cooked and the yams look so lonely without their marshmellowy top. Yes cooking here will begin full swing tomorrow, early. I'm actually looking forward to it this year, last year was alittle depressing since Ben wasn't here and alot of our friends went out of town. I made it to Walmart yesterday to do my turkey shopping and got a 21 pound bird for 12 bucks!

I have the next 5 days off (yes I'm counting the weekend!) from school :) Of course I have homework during this time but its a much needed break. If all goes well, Ben just might have a 4 day weekend, we find out tonight. He has been working some mighty long days with training and last night his ankle was so swollen! He's not suppose to be on it for that long but he has soldiers that need to be trained and he feels responsible. Hopefully he can get a few days off and some rest as well.

We had our cub scout awards last night. Caitlin came along and took a pic of Justin. She couldn't get one of Matthew because he moved too much,lol. Next month we only have 2 meetings before the Christmas break. Which is good because December is filling up fast, at least my calendar is!

Why is it that when you finally get a day off and you don't have to be up early you are anyway? lol
