Belated Thanks

So, before I get any more tied up in cleaning and cooking and still unpacking, preparing for my in-laws to come for Thanksgiving, and since I have now given up being able to take pictures of my package from my secret pal, I am now writing a thank you to her! Sorry this is so late.

I received my package last thursday, and quickly ran to the post office to pick it up (since my hubby was too lazy to stand in the line for Post Office box package pickup.... well I had a feeling I knew who it was from so I ran to it trying hard to hold in my excitement... and I stood in a 30-45 minute line to get my package... but well worth it!

I received two skeins of very soft wonderful wool yarn in a burgandy color (maroon/burgandy one of my favorites... GO U of Puget Sound LOGGERS!!! MAROON AND WHITE!!!)
And with this yarn, i am to knit up a pair of fingerless gloves for myself (patern included from my lovely sp!)!!! how perfect! And a set of double point knitting needles to work the patern. Also some smaller stitch markers, which are much needed when working on smaller projects on smaller needles... and a gage ruler (something i have been planning on buying myself, but always forget when i am in the store).

Also, my secret pal didnt want my mind to go unstimulated since i finished my Harry Potter book and now am looking for more books to read... It will be my next read... "Magyk" by Septimus Heap. Well recommended by fellow Harry Potter lovers! I am excited to get through this other book (only about 30 pages left) that i read just so i had something to do, so i can get to this awsome book! I think i will be able to start it tomorrow!

Needless to say, the Digestive biscuts SP9 sent me have been more than half eaten as i sit and finish the book i am currently on, or knitting, or watching tv. I have had to hide them from my husband so he will not eat them!

And last but not least, My SP9 always comes through for my four-legged children... They all got treats from her in the package! However, i think i will save them for a Thanksgiving treat for them! hehehe~!!!

THANK YOU SP9, I AM ENJOYING MY PACKAGE SO MUCH!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!

snappy update~

So we have to wait another two weeks to find out what gender our baby is. Only a couple of the ultrasound machines were usable so we had to make an appointment to go in and find out what the baby is... good Thanksgiving Present eh?

We did get our results back for our CF, DS, Trisomy 18, and what ever else they tested for. All results were NEGATIVE!!!! WOO HOO! so for the top 32 most common markers for CF carrier, I am not! Great news!

I finished Harry Potter, it was great, I just wish it wasn't done! Now I don't know what to read HAHHAHA.

We went up to New Mexico this last weekend so Toby could hunt. He got his deer! and we now have plenty of venison in the freezer. Hopefully I will find that i enjoy venison!

I am almost done with the diaper bag. A few more rows and then the straps and then all I have to do is felt it!!!! Exciting exciting!

Got my flu shot yesterday, and now i have a huge welt on my arm... got to love those shots~

alright that is it for now. we are waiting on our movers to come pack. we are moving today and tomorrow to the other house... very exciting!
