we had a big turkey and lots of sides and desserts............i ate so much i couldn't eat the rest of the day, lol. even my son who loves to eat denied a bite of pie (gasps!) my son just absolutely loves food and NEVER refuses so we knew he had enough that day, lol. we went to my hubby's moms and that was the 1st time in a long time that we had an actual "family" dinner on thanksgiving, it was nice. then 2 days later was my daughter's 5th birthday. we decorated the kitchen for her and had cake and opened presents, she had a good time. later on that night we kept hearing her sing "happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me". it was really cute. we also helped decorate their house with christmas decorations and the kids got to see their christmas tree all lighted up and everything. it was a good weekend. i like living out here, just can't wait to get our own actual home that we'll own.
on to knitting/crocheting news: i'm currently working on a sweater for my mil's dachshund and dishcloths for myself and also for mil since she never used one so i thought it was time she got one. i'm also crocheting a lapghan for a boy back in wisconsin but my hubby keeps telling me to keep it in the family. i don't know why cuz i know i'll make a million more in my lifetime, lol. still no pictures to share but soon!

Our 1st wedding anniversary
was alot of fun.
we weren't sure what we were gonna do up till then, lol. we dropped the kids off at grandmas house and then we went to the casino for the 1st time. we won 40 bucks as soon as we got there and hubby wanted to leave but i didn't want to so we kept playing and lost that money. lol. well, we knew we'd lose money there so might as well enjoy it, right? then after that he decided that we'd try to find the ocean (we're only like an hour from there) so he stopped for directions and we went to new london to see part of the ocean by the long island ferry part. we walked on the fishing pier which was really cool but so dang cold! i was FREEZING! lol. we saw the fort trumbull and the us coast guard boat which was neat then we went and ate at this nice restaurant next to the boating docks and we had this nice table right next to the windows and we had a candle on the table. it was really romantic and soooooooo out of our league, lol. we had bought 1 soup and 1 plate of food and split it and it was sooooooo delicious! we are going to go back to that restaurant for our wedding anniversaries as a tradition (his idea, awwwww) and then maybe eventually we can buy 2 plates, lol. we even toasted to one another with coke in wine glasses, lol. aren't we silly? after we got done eating, we headed back to grandmas to pick up the kids and then came home. we didn't buy anything for each other but we had a really fun day. we didn't have our camera so we couldn't take a picture at the restaurant.

never doing that again
jeez what a move!! we got on the road on october 27th and we stayed at hubby's moms for a week then moved into our place here. it is definitely different than wisconsin and i will definitely miss that place but it is ok over here. just need to adjust a little bit and it's nice to be around family. i told hubby that i'm never doing that again too ugh.
first i need to post a thank you to my secret pal, she sent me a 2nd package about 2 weeks ago but i was unable to get to the internet to say thank you. she sent me 2 knitpicks blue "crayon" skeins which are really soft, she sent me a blue hue wool skein to felt a purse and some chocolate along with a card. thank you i really loved them and i can't wait to get started on the purse. i just need to figure out what i want to make with the knitpick yarn, lol.
i have been working on a lapghan for my neighbors son in wisconsin cuz i promised him that i'd make him one and i don't want to disappoint him. i'm crocheting it and doing 2 colors with stripes, it looks pretty cool. i did some dishcloths and need to get more cotton yarn so i can make potholders and more dishcloths as well because i would like to make some for my mother in law.
tomorrow will be mine and hubby's 1 year wedding anniversary and we have no clue what we wanna do, lol. i wanna go see the new harry potter movie but hubby doesn't want to do the "same ol" dinner and a movie date. we were talking about going to the casino but we wouldn't be able to spend much and we'd never went to one. we'll figure it out tonight hopefully, lol. we've been together for 8 years just weren't ready to be married till a year ago. hey it's better than rushing into a marriage before knowing we're right for each other right? lol. (no offense to those who've done it, some survive and some don't just like everything in life)
not much else has been happening around here. so here's my post and update on me and my "exciting" life! lol.
