The day before Thanksgiving we got new carpet in our upstairs bedroom and the ‘baby’s room.’ On Thanksgiving we hosted dinner with Sam’s extended family and then my parent’s also joined us. The morning of Thanksgiving we did the Turkey Trot 5k! We finished in 36 minutes, which is no record by any means, but for my first 5k and having open heart surgery 7 months ago, I was proud of the accomplishment! Thanksgiving was a success with the exception of Sam burning the oil therefore we weren’t able to deep fry the turkey (sorry sam), but nothing that good company and chardonnay couldn’t fix! Sam and my dad also put new trim boards upstairs and downstairs the day after. It looks great!
We had our biometrics apt. on Monday the 1st, which was our immigration fingerprinting apt. Pretty painless and quick. The rest of the day we got our Christmas tree and decorated it.

Before we had the tree decorated I decided to take a picture of it for some odd reason (you would think I would do this after it was decorated), anyway in the picture exactly where the star or angel would go there was an orb perfectly placed on the tree, just like an angel. Crazy weird, huh? I will try to post the picture.

We were hoping to be on a list by Dec. but it is looking more like Jan. If you also haven’t heard the news – here is a hint:
