This post has a few purposes. 1) I have been thinking of random things like this lately. 2) I need to get back in the habit of posting things regularly. 3) I am trying to stay awake until Josh gets home.

5 Things I Love About November:
1. It's the month my birthday is in!
2. Pumpkin bread, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other yummy foods.
3. The Thanksgiving Day Parade
4. College football, except that this year my Longhorns stink.
5. It's almost Christmas!

5 Projects On My To-do List:
1. Family Christmas stockings - Josh and I have ones I made when we got married but it's time for ones that we will have from now on with kids. I'm excited about them.
2. A tree skirt.
3. A fun easy little dress for Addie.
4. A few Christmas presents that I haven't finished yet.
5. Finishing a cool wooden star I found in a trash can broken in half- all I need to do is nail it back together.

5 People I Have Been Missing Lately:
1. Jackie Beth - She's in Brazil so we can't really actually talk as much. Bummer.
2. Kasey. I love that she "gets me" in a lot of ways and I wish we lived closer.
3. My siblings
4. Friends from my huddle in high school at Westover - lots of things have been bringing them to mind lately.
5. Some of the youth group kids who are now freshman in college. They are a special group and we are about to go on the first retreat (big activity) since they have left.

5 Things I Have Been Praying For:
1. A job that is a good fit for me, my skills and will allow me to still be available for Addie.
2. Healing and patience with headaches
3. Josh
4. Thankfulness for Addison as she is growing so fast.
5. Discerment and for God to guide Josh and I as we try to see what's next.

5 Things I Am Loving About Addison Right Now:
1. Her sense of humor - she teases us, tickles Josh, etc.
2. She loves to sit and read her books.
3. Her beautiful long hair that continues to curl at the bottoms.
4. She is so adventerous (I think she gets that from me!)
5. She reaches out to hug us and will give kisses when we ask (even if her mouth is open). Makes my heart melt!

and finally:
5 Totally Random Thoughts Before Bed:
1. Last week I went 5 days without washing my hair.
2. I am so glad elections are over so my mail box and voicemail are not clogged with political stuff.
3. I love to bake but do the majority of it in the fall.
4. My hair is longer than it has been since I was in high school, maybe college.
5. I think my fingers are shrinking because lately my rings are slidding all over the place.
