- Attend Orientation to start the certification process for Adoption/Foster Care - I am so incredibly excited as we got our official invite to orientation today! We will attend the orientation class next Tuesday evening. Hopefully, we'll know more after that meeting about the process and how long it will take. The Hubs and I are both ready for next Tuesday to get here!
- Celebrate my 33rd birthday on 11/22 - That's right - it's nearly that time of year again. The time of year when I get another year older! The Hubs and I have some awesome plans, but since normally when I talk about our plans something screws them up, I'll save that until things are more firmed up.
- Celebrate my 9th Wedding Anniversary with The Hubs - Yup, the day after my birthday, The Hubs and I celebrate our wedding anniversary! It is that great holiday officially known as "birthdayversary". As I stated in the previous point, we do have plans and I will share those with you soon, but not right this second ;)
- Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family - It will be the first Thanksgiving without my dad, so I just want to try to get through it without breaking down. Because of my birthday, this has always kind of been our holiday. My dad's nickname for me was "Doodle-Turkey". I really miss him. It's going to be a hard holiday, but I know he'll be here with us in spirit.
- Get my Christmas decorations up the weekend after Thanksgiving - My eldest niece, Boop, will be coming to stay with us on Thanksgiving afternoon and will stay through the weekend. She's great at helping me get my decorations up! And, the day before Thanksgiving - my wedding anniversary - is her 18th birthday! I can't believe she's already that old! Seems so hard to believe. She and I always have a great time, though, getting my house ready for Christmas.
- Survive the rest of the month at work until I get my semi-vacation on November 22 through November 27. I am so looking forward to that! I need a break.
That's pretty much the summary of my monthly goals! Lots to get done, but I think I'll enjoy it all =D

Wow... your November sounds like my May & September. Hope that all that you and your Hubs have planned comes to fruition!
After a loss like you experienced this year, the firsts are always a challenge. Praying that you and your family are able to find peace and comfort in your celebrations.
Visiting from stirrup queens-hoping the orientation process is smooth and efficient! And best wishes for your upcoming birthday-I hope that it is special.
Hi Lynn, I'm commenting after seeing your 3 wishes on Stirrup Queens! :D
Though I wish I could do something to help with 1 & 2, other than send very happy thoughts and lots of luck, I can suggest that you try http://www.joomla.org/ for your blog. It's free and I found it easy when I used it. I'm a wordpress gal myself, so I don' knot if it's compatible with blogger, but worth a look :)
Many luck! I look forward to reading through the rest of your posts.
