it's been a long time...

to start what i'm thankful for:
* for my loving boyfriend/fiance/"man"/whatever you want to consider him. he's the best thing that ever happened to me and has really helped me a lot lately.
* our adorable dogs. they seriously brighten my day, whether it's creo sticking out her tongue or rocco showing off how he can now "shake"
* seeing my family weekly (and using there washer/dryer for free) and finally getting along with my sister. we are really start to have an actual relationship and she's growing into such a beautiful girl!
* my aunt for letting us move to her house. you're really helping us out, even if it's stressing us all out a little trying to hammer out the details and make sure the family doesn't suffer
* and finally still having a job! with the economy being so bad and everyone losing their jobs it's nice to know that i still have one, especially since i work for a small business. and i really enjoy where i work and i know i'm a huge asset.

so other than that the main thing that's happened lately is that nick's car broke. instead of putting money into fixing it and having it probably break again we just decided to go ahead and get him a new one. it just made more sense. he is now driving an oldsmobile bravada. it's nice because it holds all of his tools, which his car didn't. so i've been pretty stressed lately. it just feels like we can't catch a break. something has to keep breaking and new bills keep getting added. my fibromyalgia has been pretty bad, no matter how much i work out; i'm just too stressed out. my muscles are so tender. that's why i'm so glad aunt bob and roger have given us this awesome opportunity. they are really helping us out!
tomorrow we go over to mom and dad's for a vegan thanksgiving consisting of burritos!! and vegan pumpkin pie!! YUMMY! happy thanksgiving everyone, i wish we could all be together!
