I'm So ExCiTed!!!!!

I can't wait to get through this week! Thanksgiving is coming up, so we are looking forward to LOTS of family coming into town!! I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it! Since we moved back to Lovell, life's pace has slowed down quite a bit. So anything different - anything at all - gets me extremely excited. Not to mention I haven't seen some of my favorite people in the world for a very long time!!!

**I really wanted to put some of those countdown widgets in my post for a couple things that I am really anxious for...but apparantly you can't do that! You can only put them on your sidebar, which I didn't really want to do. I just wanted to have them in the body of my post. So - if someone knows how to do this, please let me know!!**

So, what am I so excited about?? I have not seen my sister since she moved to L.A. in MARCH!!! We get to pick Chelsea up at the Cody Airport next Tuesday!! I just cannot wait!! We get to have her for about 4 days. We always have so much fun when we get together. We never really go anywhere or do anything in particular...we like to veg...but we ALWAYS laugh really hard. That's my favorite part!! And it will be fun for the girls to hang out with her...they don't get to see her enough.

This coming Friday, Kristin, Eli and their girls are coming up! We get to have them here for about a week. We are going to have SO MUCH fun!! We can't ever get enough of these guys. We saw eachother on a daily basis when we were in St. George...and we have been going through some rather painful withdrawals since we left. Kristin and I were like the dynamic duo together...we crafted and cooked and all kinds of fun things!! But apart, we lack inspiration. So, needless to say, we have quite a few projects lined up to do while they are here. We will be scrapping (calendars for our moms Christmas gifts), making tu-tu's for the girls, and without a doubt, whipping up some of our famous carameled apples!!! Yummmmmmmmmy!

We are also hoping to get into the long-awaited, highly anticipated Twilight Movie!! We just cannot wait! Now, if I were still in Utah, I would have gone and bought our tickets long before now just to make sure we would be able to see it opening night. But....here in Wyoming....things just don't work that way!! I went to Cody the other day to see if I could get tickets in advance....no way, no how!!! What a bummer! So, we will just have to drive all the way to Powell or Cody and hope we get in!! Ha, ha!

And there are still more reasons for me to be suffering with anticipation!!! My beautiful sister-in-law, Kacee, and her husband will be coming Monday or Tuesday. Everyone jumps for joy when Kacee comes to town because she always pampers us when she's here (she is a beautician)!! Poor girl kind of gets taken advantage of...but that's only because she does such a good job! We love her and always look forward to being made pretty again!! I am in dire need of a haircut!!

We also get to see Kari and Tyler again sometime next week. They are so much fun to have around. Kyle and Tyler love to go coyote hunting together! The girls go crazy when they get to hang out with "Kiwi and Tyla". They get showered with attention and eat it up!! We have been lucky because we were able to spend time with them two weekends in a row over the deer hunt. It was way fun...and we can't wait for them to get here from South Dakota!

So...I hope this week goes really fast, cause I'm ready for the FUN to begin!!!
