back from Oregon

So it has been a while since I have updated the blog. The trip to Oregon went pretty good, except Emery couldn't go. There was a problem with the inventory stuff, so he had to stay here and figure things out.

Halloween was pretty fun. Morgan was a skunk and I dressed up as a flapper. My sister went with me to a party at my friend Ryan's house. It was kind of boring, but at least I got to see some friends.

We had a birthday party for Morgan at Chuck E. Cheeses. We ate pizza and had cake, but she was scared of the big mouse, lol. Emery was really sad he couldn't be there for her birthday. Danielle and Chris, Shelly and John, Mom and Dad, and my aunt Carol were there. My aunt Carol came down from Alaska to see us, which was good. Morgan got some nice presents.

While we were in Portland we also went to visit my Grandpa and his wife Millie. I went down to Western Oregon University to visit my sister and Morgan had a good time there. There was also a trip to the indian casino with mom and dad, which is always bound to happen when I come home...I love the buffet. I think that is about all I did, but it was a long two weeks away from home without Emery.

I haven't done much since I have been back. I still have morning sickness and I just wish it would go away. I made a doctors appointment for the first week of December. It will be nice to hear the heartbeat for the first time and make sure everything is going well.

We started decorating for Christmas already. It is my favorite holiday by far! We put up lights outside, but we still need more. I think we are going to be like Clark Griswold when we are older and always try to outdo the neighbors! I think we will put the tree up after Thanksgiving.

For Thanksgiving we are going up to Emery's parents house. It should be fun. There are going to be so many people there. My family is going to come here for Christmas and I am soooo excited. The last time they came for Christmas we were in the process of moving, so it wasn't great...now I have to redeem myself!
