Thanksgiving

This is by far my most favorite holiday of all. I love spending time with the family and eating lots of food. I think if Christ was actually born on Thanksgiving it would far surpass any holiday in the world. I guess that Christmas has something on Thanksgiving since it is the birth of Christ but I still love my Turkey Day.

I have had a great Thanksgiving with my side of the family. It was great to see everyone and those we will see in the next couple of days. I do like spending Thanksgiving with Melissa's family but we will be having Christmas there so all is good. I definitely over ate this year. I don't know if it is sympathy pains or if it was the food but I am now getting some heartburn and I felt boated. I guess that's was happens when you gorge yourself.

One thing that I started while living in AZ was shopping on black Friday. I loved it there because even though lines may be long the weather was great and you can laugh at all the shoppers that where way to serious about the whole situation. While shopping in IL this year it was worse than I ever remember from last year. It was so cold!!! I went to Menard's today for a TV, it was so cold that I justified that I should get two so I could sell one on craigslist. I think that my brain had frozen at that point. I figured if I was going to freeze in line I should try to make some money for doing it. So I guess what I am saying is I have a TV for sale. lol.

I have more family to see and more food to eat so I hope that I will be able to have a good representation while I am here this year. I hope that you are all having a great time and having fun laughing at all the shoppers.

P.S. If you are interested in baby information check out our family blog storytimewiththeschneiders.blogspot.com. You will be able to find out here and there what gender the baby will be on Christmas Day. It will be a blast.

The point of Blogging

So I don't know why but I just don't check blogs very often. Maybe it is because I do not fully understand the point of it or I do not have a specific purpose for this blog. I do read a couple of blogs from my friends but it is only to check up on their family or see what they are up to. So i will try to keep you up to-date on how things are going with us.

Melissa is doing well with the baby. We have not found out yet what the gender is but we have decided to open an envelope that has a picture on Christmas day. We thought that it would be a fun surprise for Melissa and I. I will update and let you know Christmas Day what is happening. We are hoping and praying for a boy but we will be happy with healthy

I have finally been able to feel the baby move. I almost can not put it all together. I know there is a life in there but it almost feel unreal. I love going to the ultrasounds because then we get to see JJ (this is what we are calling the baby for now, Jason Junior). It becomes so much more real to me then and I get very excited and nervous about being a Dad.

The house is coming along well. We are done with most of what we needed to get done and what we wanted to have done to the house. I still need to finish up the baseboards for the hardwood floor. I am hoping to work on that some this weekend. When I am done I will try to post some pictures.

Well that's some basic stuff from our life. Hope you enjoy and I will put more details down in the future. Have a great day,
