"Home Is The Place Where, When You Have To Go There, They Have To Take You In."

~Robert Frost

I am glad to have found my new home in a local church. After searching since I moved to California, I have finally found a church to call home-FUMC of Neenah, you set the bar high and will always be my childhood home! I still think of you all as family, but there is a new family I serve with now! So lucky! Thank you Meghan for introducing us! Streamline, you have a new place in my heart!

Today was my last full day with the boys. Boo! I already miss them. It's so strange to think about it, but I feel like I'm going to miss out on so much now that they are not "scheduled" with me. Luckily I have a quick fix-babysitting for them tomorrow night! Plus, I will see them on Tuesday for a few hours! We had a nice "lunch bunch" get together at one of the organizing Mom's Group houses today for a mock Thanksgiving. We had make your own turkey sandwich with cookies to decorate and then everyone brought food to share. J had a great time, ate stunningly, behaved amazingly, and I think M enjoyed people watching as much as I did. All the moms are so nice and they will be missed while I'm gone. I'm happy to say that I have found some great people to surround myself and can't wait to bring Peyton to a Mom's Group activity once she arrives.

K got home early from work so I was able to go home and read a little bit before small group met tonight. Tony's mom ended up coming over so I visited more than anything, plus she brought over Thanksgiving fixings for Thursday. Which reminds me, I still need to get the necessities for making the sweet potato pie that Tony likes.

So glad I went to book club tonight, as this weeks' readings have been the most home-hitting and impactful, thus far. Plus it was nice to have Pastor Dave and his wife Lori sharing tonight with us! Dropped off some food for tomorrow's "Give A Gobbler" that Meghan organized as I won't be able to deliver it myself due to a busy and packed schedule tomorrow. It has rained or sprinkled pretty much non-stop all afternoon-which makes for slow traffic. I know we need the rain, though! I'm glad we'll be fixing Tony's motorcycle tomorrow with the rainy season upon us! It makes me feel safer!

Peyton has been kicking non-stop since about 4pm. I wonder what she's trying to get my attention for, but she's got it. I really enjoyed listening to Taylor Swift's song, "You Belong With Me" on the way to small group tonight-the words really spoke to me!

Ready for bed as it is almost 11pm. Excited that tomorrow's entry will be the big 1-0-0! Yay! That means we are 100 days closer to meeting you, Monkey! Mama loves you and appreciates you finding a new comfortable position that is NOT with your feet in her ribs-today felt so much more comfortable than the last week!

Busy day tomorrow-dentist appointments, motorcycle fixing, babysitting, pics at Babies 'R Us, visit with Nicole (consulting), grocery shopping for Thanksgiving fixings, etc. Ready to have a day at home on Sunday (after church, of course).

Thank you for a blessed day and for friends and family who find a way to say just the right thing and to pop out of the woodwork when it is most meaningful! We are so loved!

(On a side note, is it my pregnant hormones acting up, or am I valid in being a little perturbed by my husband NOT answering his cell phone-what if I had been in labor, or an accident...he SHOULD pick up even if he's sleeping, right?!?)
