It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and I don't feel stressed about it!  :)

Quote
1. My shiny new British passport arrived today!

Congratulations! :)
9/11/2012 Husband mailed his US citizenship application.
9/17/2012 Received e-mail stating his application has been entered into the system.
9/22/2012 Hubby received letter with date for finger printing.
10/12/12 Hubby went for finger printing.
10/26/12 Dh got a letter stating when he should appear for his interview and test- 11/27/12- just a month away!!!
11/27/12 We went to dh's interview and test- he passed and we went back 4 hours later for the Oath Ceremony! 95 people from 38 countries, really pretty cool!
So he's now a US citizen!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Today I'm happy because:

1. It's Thanksgiving! Even though we aren't celebrating the traditional way this year, my husband was able to come home this evening so we will be having a lovely sirloin steak meal and pie this evening! Yay! (Decided with loss of job, not to do anything big this year, but watch out next year!)

2. Got a second interview for a potential job next week! Fingers crossed!

1. Cheesecake!
2. Morris (the cat) does not appear to be traumatised after we left him under the care of the In-Laws while we were on holiday. He was super excited to see us. Greeted us at the door and didn't stop snuggling DH and I for hours. He has settled back into his routine pretty quickly.

1. The Christmas tree is up! Although I still have a box of fave ornaments in the great abyss of the closet that isn't going on this year, I found a box that I didn't take to the UK with me, so after three years without them, it is like having a bunch of new ornaments again.   ;D

2. We're off tomorrow for a fun day of the zoo and botanical gardens (cold, but there will be giraffes!), Japanese for lunch, and some shopping.

1. Hopefully tomorrow I will called to a 4th (and final!) interview with this job I'm hoping to get! I just want to know if I have the job or not!

2. A big group of friends got together the other night to officially celebrate Thanksgiving with me and another American that lives here! It was soo much fun! :)

1). One of my best and oldest friends took the day off work to spend some time with little ol' me.  :)

2). I'm presently drinking a cup of my favourite coffee. Yum, yum.

1. I'm off work tomorrow and it is payday! I get paid every other week, and a day off on payday is a rare thing.

2. We're off shopping and out to lunch with mom, dad, my brother and his girlfriend.

Although both of these are for tomorrow, I can still be happy about them today.  ;D

1. Went to Kohl's this morning and found a really neat sweater/poncho type thing marked down -- with my 20% off coupon it was practically nothing!

2. Stopped in Wholefoods to pick up some fruit and they were having a sort of charity bazaar with lots of stalls and a raffle. It was in aid of cancer so thought I better get some raffle tickets. Turns out I won one of the prizes  :o Some handmade jewelry.

1. Two crockpots of chili on the go.

2. All gifts bought and wrapped, except for two. Those should be easy enough.
