I am Thankful for.... (and other postings :) )

(I'm not doing this post on Thanksgiving anymore it is now the Friday after)

...my husband, Oscar, having a job, some family members (yes, I said some :)), having a roof over our heads, and many, many other things. What are you thankful for?

I know you should be thankful for things year round, and I am but Thanksgiving is a day that I can sit down and really think about what I am thankful for. And then be thankful for having that wonderful meal, that made me oh so full :)

Thanksgiving was pretty much the typical holiday dinner at the Lentz's...Parents argued (my mom told my dad to stop or we would leave...He did, so we stayed :)), mom was "sick" so I once again made the majority of the meal...Oh well...It turned out wonderfully!!

Today we had Scott's mom and Andy come over for dinner...We all had a good time...

But anyways onto the next part of this post....CHRISTMAS IS GETTING REALLY CLOSE!!!!! Like I said before I am way too excited for Christmas this year than I have been any other year...My Christmas cards are done and ready to be sent out...My Christmas decorations are up, tree and everything (they have been up for 2 weeks :) ) I'm almost done buying Scott's gifts and what I have, I have already wrapped and put under the tree!! :) I have done all of Scott's Christmas gift shopping online this year...So much easier than going to the stores and have to deal with people that don't care that there are other people in the store with them...Now I'm just waiting for snow...The amount we got last night was nothing!!! It didn't even get me excited!!

I was not a part in the whole crazy black Friday shopping...I thought about it, picked out what we were going to get and said the hell with it...I'm not losing sleep over a set of pans...So while all the other weirdos where out there shopping away or standing outside freezing, I was snuggled up in my warm bed :) ha ha

My works Christmas party is December 4Th...Scott and I are going to it and get to stay in a hotel...My work parties have been really fun the last couple of years and I hope that this one is just as fun :) After that we are heading over to Grand Rapids to maybe do a little shopping...And of course we get to stay at the Hyatt Place!!! L-O-V-E that hotel!!!

I then will have another Christmas party at work. This one is at the place that I work and it involves the residents and the staff...I also look forward to this one...Seeing the residents faces light up when they get to be a part of a party!!! They just love it! And I love that they get to do something fun for Christmas...

Then soon enough it will be Christmas time...

Since this is an all in one post I will post about Scott...

He hasn't found a job yet :( But he did get back on unemployment!! :) Which is really good...We did just fine when he wasn't getting it for a little bit there, but we also were living off of out student loan checks...

And that brings me to my next section...SCHOOL

Scott is almost done and he is doing fantastic this semester...As always...He's my nerd and never does bad...I on the other hand...Am pretty close to failing Medical Terminology...I gave up on the class after about the second week...It's not hard work at all, but there is a lot of work involved!! A little too much, I would say...21 chapters for a 15 week class!!! It sucks and it's all about remembering everything you just read!! My brain can't hold all that :) Math I'm doing OK in...Since it's an online class I pretty much do things at my own pace and I'm kinda behind...I will get it all caught up pretty soon...Thanks to my math genius husband :)...

OH!!!! The most important thing!!!

WE GOT A CAR!!!!

It's a used one, but hey it's a car and it runs and now we don't have to use Scott's moms van...Which we were 110% grateful for her for letting us use it!! We greatly appreciate it!!!
It's a Saturn, Silver, and it runs OK...but at least it runs and gets us to where we need to go! :)

But I'm done writing for tonight...

UNTIL NEXT TIME
