Since Thanksgiving is just a few days away I thought I would make a list of things that I am thankful for and share them with the few people who read this.
1. God, that he is a loving and forgiving God and that he has richly blessed my life and given me many more things to be thankful for.
2. My family, Morgan for being a hard worker and that allows me to be able to stay home with our children. Brenna for being the most precious gift anyone could ever get and that she always has a hug for her Mommy. New Baby, for always reminding me how blessed I am.
3. My Mom and Becky and Alan (Morgan's parents), for being such a wonderful support system for Morgan and I. And for being the best grandparents any child could ask for.
4. Friends, for always being there to cheer me up, even if it is usually through reading their blogs.
5. For my health and the health of my family.
6. For the wonderful life God has provide for me.
Let me know what you are thankful for during this holiday season!

God's Plan
This week I found out that one of my friends was going to have to deliver her baby stillborn. This really got me thinking about how precious life really is and how sometimes we take it for granted that our children will be born healthy and without and problems. I look at my daughter and think that this could have so easily been us and now that we are expecting baby number 2 in late January I am just reminded that we could still go through a great loss. It seems like we always think that of of course our children will be healthy and that once we make it through the first trimester without miscarrying we are home free, but we're not. I know that God has a greater plan than anything we could ever imagine and I know for this friend it does not make her loss any easier or less significant, and I know that little Peyton is with the Lord looking down on her Mommy and Daddy with love, and I pray that this family will be surrounded by God's love in this great time of loss.

Mommy's Group
I just wanted to thank the Mommies who came to our group this morning. I had a lot of fun just listening to everyones stories about there children. I hope that we are able to meet every week just to let our kids play. It was nice to get out and visit with adults for awhile. Thanks again.

Stupid People
I have decided that stupid people should not be allowed to travel on airplanes, or possibly even leave there homes. During our trip to Las Vegas I observed the marvels of these stupid people. Now I don't me to offend anyone, so if I do I apologize in advance.
When you are flying first of all your carry on luggage should be of standard size, ie. they make bags that are specifically called carry on for a reason. Along with these stupid people, the airlines should not allow anyone to carry on over sized baggage, this just makes it difficult for the rest of us travelers that are trying to follow the rules. Other people that may fall into this category are the flight attendants, telling Morgan and I that we might have to check our carry on luggage, that is of the correct size but not making somebody who has brought on the plane with them a duffel bag the size of my body and that's no small duffel bag.
We also ran into many stupid people just walking and touring Las Vegas. The many drunk people that you see along with the girls who are so caught up in what they look like that they can't even walk and talk to each other at the same time. These are the girls that are walking right in front of you and stop for no reason in the middle of the street or hotel lobby and then when you say excuse me to try and get around them they just let out an enormous sigh. There are also the people who can't figure out that you should always walk to the right, maybe this is just me, but I think that you should walk in public how you drive, stay to the right and you shouldn't run into oncoming traffic. You don't get on the road and drive wherever you want to to get where you are going, at least most people don't, so why should you walk this way. My husband is one of those people who refuses to walk to the right, he just shoves his way through, and when you are trying to follow him it is very irritating.
I could go on forever about stupid people but I should probably stop. It just seems that when you travel you really find out that there are people who should be required to stay at home. Sometimes I find myself included in this category!

Welcome to the Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!
We left for Vegas last Thursday out of the enormous Grand Island airport. We luckily had no problems traveling except for all of the stupid people, but I will have a lovely post about this special topic later. We stayed at the Mirage which was great, the most comfy beds in any hotel I have ever stayed at, but with the smallest bathroom I have ever seen at a hotel. On Thursday afternoon after checking in we decided to venture down the Strip, not a good idea when you are 7 months pregnant and you forgot to put your tennis shoes on for comfort. We started our journey at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace and if you have ever been here you know that we did not buy a thing because the only retailers here are ones you see on the runway and no one in their right mind can afford or even fit into the clothing offered. We did however decide to have some gelato and sorbet, this lovely vendor did not have the prices posted in what I would consider the usual spot, so we ended up paying almost $30 for two small cups. This was not our only ridiculous purchase.
On Friday (Halloween) we pretty much played it low key, we took the city bus downtown for some small time gambling, I played $20 on penny slots and cashed out $100, lucky me. That night we went to the first round of the PBR finals (bull riding), that was pretty exciting.
Saturday we went to Madam Tussuad's Wax Museum (not sure on the spelling), that was another waste of money and then we just hung out for the rest of the day.
Sunday we returned home to our little Brenna who we missed terribly. Sorry no pictures of Vegas, we left the camera at home and of course what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
