bring on the turkey!

waiting, waiting, waiting....
we are waiting on test results. hopefully today we will find out. it seems to be the year for sickness, or am i just getting older and realizing that sometimes this happens. i have made a promise to myself this past weekend. i am going to dive into yoga again. i have been doing it, but not on the level i used to. just making it a part of my everyday.
dive into the holistic person i so once loved to be. i think i might even become vegetarian again. that is after thanksgiving. i mean, after these past few years of eating anything i want, surely i can wait till after the turkey to turn my new leaf. :)
looking forward to the holidays. shelly finally felt better yesterday after her lumbar headache, OUCH, and we actually went to look around a bit and had some lunch. Christinas is so yummy!
we made a list and trying to figure out our budget.
still temping and really kinda enjoying making up my own schedule. it has helped a tad.
as of late we are trying to train out dog. yes, it is a task. i swear this dog is so lucky he is cute. shelly keeps looking at him and saying, "three words finn: BRAND - NEW-HOME", every time he jumps on us. he is not aggressive and i know he is a puppy, but the jumping has got to stop. we are watching the dog whisperer more times than i would like to admit, and yes, i read the book. i have been implementing all of the training techniques and some are working, but most are not. i never thought i would say this, but i am looking forward to finns last puppy days. haha.
other than that, not much going on. looking forward to spending time with our families, starting school again, and getting my hair cut and i am going blonde blonde blonde again. i thought i enjoyed my natural color of dirty dishwater, but yeah, not so much. :)
i hope everyone is doing well. we again thank you for all of the support friends and family has been giving us. we are thankful for you and each other everyday.
oh, and say a little prayer for my mom. she is having some test on friday and we are hoping for some good results. some really good results. :)

be well

not too much to say. shelly and i are doing well. we are in a bit of limbo until we find out if shelly has MS. she is going for a "lumbar puncture" on monday. fancy word for spinal tap.

we should find out by the end of the week if the results are negative or positive.

i am still temping but and waiting for the spring semester to happen. actively looking again for work, after being so disheartened by my last search. it has been a little hard, because lately, i have had to cancel a few interviews due to dr visits. not that i mind! her health comes first, i am wondering if i should just wait on the job front until we know exactly what is going to happen.

my family continues to be amazing. i am trying to get myself geared up for the holidays. my favorite holiday is thanksgiving and it seems i am lacking in the spirit this year. i used to love just sitting there with family and sharing a meal. everyone cooks, cleans, naps, and then watches the cowboys.

i know i will get back into the spirit of things. i continue to be grateful for all things. i am hoping that my theory on, "everything happens for a reason", is still sound and just.
