Another night where Kitty didn't wake us up.  She "pride rocked" me this morning at about 6:30 and when we get up at 6:45, it's nothing to get upset about.  Tyler calls it "pride rocking" because I usually wake up on my side, and she perches herself right up there and just sits on me.  It's pretty cute.

We got out of bed, showered and were enjoying breakfast soon enough.  I got my hair cut last night so I had to spend a bit of time on it this morning.  But I like the cut because it's something different then what I've had for the past 7 months.

We left for work.  I probably should have been more nervous for the day then I was, but I was feeling good about the coming day.  The reason for the possible nerves is because today I was working by myself.  I was the only office worker there because the other woman is away for holidays.  It's fun to know that the bosses know I can do this job alone.  It's a great feeling being trusted already.  I'm not being babysat at all and that's really awesome for me.  And today was a tough day.  The weather caused a car accident on the island involving a person whose family lives here so there were many phone calls regarding that.  And I handled each one professionally and awesomely.

It was a quick day for me and soon I was walking home.  The weather today was ever changing.  It started pretty nice, little wind and no snow.  By mid day is was snowing which turned into sleet and now it is raining.  I came home to the smell of deliciousness in my nose.  Tyler had made chicken  and we had tasty chicken burgers, with tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and the best part: BACON.  I have a new love for bacon.  I never use to really like eating it because it always seems rubbery and gross.  But when Tyler cooks it, oh man, is it ever good.

The rest of the night has been spent working on finishing my cross-stitch.  It's so close to be done and I'm looking forward to not having one to work on for a little while.  Tyler is studying for his FAC.  It's been a nice evening together.

I seriously can't wait to see family and friends at Christmas.  I started crying the other night because I was thinking about my dad and some good memories I have of us.  It's not even that fantastic of a memory.  Just us hanging around the house, when mom wasn't home and Tyler was working.  Dad would ask me what I wanted for dinner and I would ask for pork tenders.  And dad would cook them up for us.  It's simple, but it made me miss home.  My parents, Tyler's parents.  Just the feeling of home.  It's a feeling that I've taken for granted and I just want to come home.  It will be good to get home to give away and take some very welcome hugs :)

Looking forward to it.  One month till Christmas Eva!!!!
