Late Turkey Day

I want to keep this updated as much as possible, so this being a family holiday I thought I might as well update the family blog, lol.


So, yesterday I unfortunately had to work (Tony had the day off...), but it was holiday pay. My manager knows I need the double pay, so I love her for scheduling me. After work, Tony and I went to Salem, MO. Our old neighbors moved there about a week after we moved into our apartment, since we haven't seen them since we all moved they invited us to dinner. It was wonderful. I ate turkey first in hopes it would put tiny internal turkey to sleep. It worked and since yesterday I haven't been nauseous at all. YAY NO THROWING UP!

I am so thankful to know Fanny and Jim Shephard, they have been so awesome since we moved up here. They practically adopted us, gave us furniture, not to mention they have a four year old grandson who lives with them and he is freaking adorable.(He also has a crush on me, for cute!)

Even though we had dinner with our adopted family out here, we still miss our family back in Utah. We miss them so much and it's been hard being so far away from them. I am grateful for the support my family has been giving us both financially and emotionally. I don't know what I would have done if my mom hadn't called me all those times asking about how stuff was going. Usually it ends up with me ranting to her about how people/politics...etc. Is/are stupid, or how something has popped up and now I don't know if I can pay the "insert random bill here" on time. It's been one thing after another and I will never be able to tell my grandparents how much I appreciate them in words.

A separate gratefulness goes to my mom, for just being there all through school. Even though I regret not opening up to her as much as I probably should/could have. In one way or another she has been there giving me advice. (Even if I don't always follow/listen to it.) I love her and wouldn't be where or who I am today without her.

Tony's family, (Mom, Dad, Jeremy, and even Cameron(Grandmas and Grandpas included, even Judy... kinda.) have been awesome. They didn't hesitate to add me to their ever growing family and I am grateful for them. They let me move into their home and have my own space among them. It was an awesome experience and I loved living with them. I even miss RJ whining at my door in the middle of the night to go potty. I can't wait to go home and see them.

Alex! I loved having her here and living with us. It made it just that much more fun.

Oh my gosh, my friends. Every single one of them, (If you're on my facebook then I consider you a friend. Simple as that.) they have all helped me in a way that I could never in a hundred years describe. I love them for all their quirks and even their faults lol. A few mentions(Ok, a lot of mentions lol):

Danee Spalding~The godmother of my firstborn baby, she is beautiful and has magic boobs. She has always had the Danee quirks. Some of which I have caught on film, psychically drinking DP with her mind, sleeping on the Mac set, she has been my buddy since I was her "squishy" and I hope that never changes.

Casey Price~ Oh the things I could say, he's been a pain in my ass and one of my bestest friends. He and Danee are irreplaceable in my mind. He is random, knows how to deal with his feminine side and I know I'm going to have a good time when he's around. Sometimes he needs to get his head out of his ass and realize how many people love him(especially the ladies).

My babies~Addison, Alexis, Scott(May he rest in peace...), Jared W, Patrick, Trevor, Isaac, Gabby, Tressa, Ellie, Matt Bishop, Meagan P, Michael M, Jared F and Nate. ~Whether you were in my TA class of Drama 2 or 3 or were just an awesome Squishy before or after I graduated. I love you all and don't forget that. Phoebe love may not mean as much now that you've all grown into amazing actors/actresses and most of you have graduated, but you will always be my babies. I love how you've all grown and can't wait to see more.

Sarah Volpe~ She's in a category all her own, she was both one of my babies and my Drama 4 peer. She helped me so much through school and is one of my bestest friends. I just hope time hasn't put too much of a gap between us.

Jessie Palmer~ Also one of my babies, my Jessie Wessie! Know it all of movies and random ass facts on all things. I loves her, she's always there to be adorable and I want to keep her in my pocket. She will go on to do great things.

I kinda have to lump these four together because we all blog,
Paige Palmer, Whitney Albertson, Starrie Whittle and Megan 'Olafsson~ You guys are amazing mothers and have been amazing the entire time I've known you. You are all special to me in different ways and I am grateful to have gotten to know you both personally and through the blogging experience.


High school buddies forever~ Amanda, Tyson, Haeden, Kelly, Ginny, Sam, Kori, Michelle, Mary, Casey L, Kristen Z, ~Holy crap guys, we had good times and bad times, I am so happy I know you all. I wish you all the best! I am thankful for all of you sticking around this long. We may not talk too much, but I'm still glad you've kept me around.

I am grateful to have all these important people in my life, and they are all important to me.
