Happy Thanksgiving to you too! First one in the new house must feel wonderful. It sounds like you are settled in nicely. It's so great that you spent it at your aunts, stress free is good.

Mine was nice as well, so good to have the kids home and the weather was beautiful, it is still in the 60's today. Odd but pleasant weather.

Had a chance to see my mom's family Thursday and my dad's family on Friday. We also went to see H's family after dinner on Thursday. It was difficult at times, and we didn't spend any time together. Just trying to be myself and not let on that anything has been wrong in front of his family. Overall I think it went well. The holidays are much tougher.

The rest of the weekend I went about my business, did usual errands and relaxed a bit. H did the same, did his usual errands and some work around the house. It was nice not to have the extreme pressure that we seemed to be dancing around quite often lately. Who would have thought that no R talk would be a relief to me as well? But it really was a relief.

This morning as H was leaving he said "It was a nice weekend, I am going to miss you today" It was nice to hear.

I am not reading too much into it other than the weekend was mostly peaceful.

The kids and I set up the Christmas tree yesterday. We didn't decorate yet but starting to get ready for the holidays. I'm focusing on what I do have right now, and trying to be grateful everyday.

Powderpuff is this Thursday, thanks to the awful weather the other night. I can't wait to see him cheering. The boys have been practicing so hard. I'm not sure why they are having the game this late, we had Homecoming in September as well.
