Last night, Kendra was over and she helped put words to something I've been thinking but haven't been able to fully express.  We were talking about how we can't believe it's already November and that maybe we all feel that way because we never really got a summer out here.  Kendra mentioned that it still feels like May because it never got hot this past summer, and now it's winter and the weather is the same as it has been all year.  It's hard to mark seasons when all it does is rain.  There is no snow, there is no sun, there is only rain and a bit less rain.  So, I can't wait to get back to a province where seasons actually mean a difference in weather.  I can't wait for snow.  I can't wait for those clear chilly days where it's incredibly cold but there is also blue sky.  Those are such great days and I haven't experienced them since we moved out here.

This morning it was pouring so hard that I thought the day was ruined.  I got out bed after Tyler was out of the shower.  He told me to go back to bed but I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.  I mixed up my granola and put it in the fridge.  I always melt some peanut butter and then mixed in the granola because it tastes so so good.  But, I don't like it when my milk gets warm because of the heated peanut butter so I put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes while I read my devotions.

Tyler left for work and I started on my daily chores.  I did the few dishes and then headed out to the store for the last few items on our list.  I thought I was outsmarting the rest of the town because usually people aren't awake that early.  But when I got there, it was pretty busy.  I only had 3 things but I had to wait in line for about 10 minutes because there was only one till open.

I got back home and worked on my cross stitch and waited for Tyler to get home for lunch.  He was about half an hour late so I had already eaten a little something.  He came and left again an hour later and I was on my own yet again.

I played DDR which kind of makes me upset because it's on super easy and it doesn't feel like it's doing anything.  I do it to keep moving and to keep my hips limber and it works, even though I still hurt most of the time.

I spent the afternoon cross stitching and playing with Kitty.  I played with Baby J too when he was awake and kicking.  Kitten climbed up on me and took a nap.  That was about when I had to start dinner though so she didn't get a great nap.

I made spicy chicken with rice and it turned out better then ever.  The chicken was moist and the rice was tasty.  We both really enjoyed the meal.  We sat and talked for a while at the table before deciding to go for a walk.  It wasn't raining so we headed on out.  And it was chilly!  We walked around and came back home soon after because my ears started hurting.

Once back home, we watched our weekly episode of Dexter.  This season is getting a little nutty.  And now we are just sitting around.  I think bed time is creeping up on us because I'm pretty tired.

Baby J is doing great!  Kicking and moving and I think there were some hiccups in there today.  My belly is getting bigger and bigger and it's starting to get in the way.  I can still see my feet but my belly button is nearly gone altogether.  Baby is mostly growing outward and I'm getting front heavy.  It's pretty awesome and I love it.  I still wonder what this little person will look like.
