Journey To Me

Preparations for Hosting Thanksgiving

I love my house.  The only thing it is missing (besides extra bedrooms for all the children I would love to have someday and closets, as far as I am concerned, no house has enough closet space) is a formal dining room.  We have a larger eat in kitchen which is great for the two of us, but is lacking in space when we have guests.  We acutally do have a 3 bedroom house, but had to turn one of the bedrooms into a closet.  It is a great closet, which also doubles as my sewing room, but means that we can only have a couple kids before we would want to move (hubby only wants two, I want more than two)

My goal for tomorrow is to make it through the day in a calm and thankful manner.  I am a list maker so I have created a detailed schedule telling me when to start each new section of the meal.  All should go well! 

My wonderful mother in law (I am lucky and have two great mother in laws!) is coming up early to help me cook and is bringing her new boyfriend.  I have met him, but no one else in the family has and she is excited to introduce him!  I think he seems like a great guy (after all, his daughter has the same first name as I do (so I know he has good taste ;-), plus, he said I was a beautiful soul!). I just hope my Husband thinks he is a good guy.  He is very protective of his Mother (especially after her failed 2nd marriage). 

I can't wait to get home from work tonight and finish my cleaning!  I love it when the house is spotless and smells of great food cooking!  Plus, having a house full of laughing, happy people is good for my "beautiful soul"!!!!
