I'm not interested in a big debate. I just read this article and I think it speaks very well of the truth of the whole situation. This is not about Joe Paterno. Its about these poor boys. It boggles my mind that this went on for as long as it did and that so many adults knew about it and yet nothing was done. I think that the students starting riots are stupid and selfish and refusing to see the bigger picture. Anyways, I just agreed wholeheartedly with this article and thought I would share it.

Ok, this is an edit because I just read this article that I appreciate so much more! What ADULT walks in on this happening to a CHILD and turns around and walks away???

November 10th - Thankful for Amazon
November 10th - Today I am thankful for Amazon and all other online shopping sites!
Thanks to online shopping I have totally finished all of my Christmas shopping! I got my last shipment that I was waiting for this morning. The only things left to buy are for Lyla because Gary and I wanted to do that together. I'm pretty excited to not have to worry about buying presents between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Instead I am going to take that time to watch Christmas movies, bake cookies, look at Christmas lights, go to parties and just relax and enjoy my family and friends! So thank you Amazon! :)

November 9th - Thankful for Harry Potter
November 9th - Today I am thankful for Harry Potter! hehehe
First and foremost, if you have not read the Harry Potter books, you totally should! I love them and can't wait to have some free time and sit and read them all again. Which at the rate things are going will probably be when Lyla is old enough to enjoy them and I will just read them to her! I love the movies too, but when you read the books there is so much more detail and I enjoy them much more!
So this morning we were stuck in traffic. The car in front of us looked like this:
License Plate: Voldmrt
Bumper Sticker: This car is a horcrux.
hahahahahahaha If you don't do Harry Potter this will not make any sense to you, but if you love Harry Potter like I do then you will understand why this made my day!

November 8th - Thankful for my voice
November 8th - Today I am thankful for my voice.
I woke up yesterday and couldn't talk. It was the strangest thing, I didn't even have a sore throat. But it made for a very long day struggling to talk! Today its better, not perfect, but definitely better! So I am thankful for my voice and being able to talk! :)

November 7th - Thankful for my job
November 7th - Today I'm thankful for my job.
Its Monday, Monday mornings are always hard to get out of bed. Especially when its cold out. Especially when you stayed up until midnight the night before to watch the Steelers lose to the Ravens. But I try to remind myself that some people, a lot of people, are really suffering without a job to go to right now. The unemployment rate is unbelievable to me. So I try to not be too miserable about getting up on a Monday morning to go to work.
Not to mention, I love my job! I work with some of the funnest people I have ever met! They are a second family to me and I'm so happy to have them in my life! Sometimes I feel like this job was made for me.

November 6th - Thankful for Sundays
November 6th - Today I'm Thankful for Sundays
I love Sundays! I especially love Sundays that I get to stay home all day. Today started off getting an extra hour of sleep thanks to turning the clocks back. Then Gary made us a good breakfast! We hung around the house until it got warm out then Lyla and I went for a nice walk while Gary mowed the grass. Then we came home and my friend Ashley came to visit. While she was here we had tacos for dinner. Now I am just enjoying some quality time with my little family. Soon Lyla will go to bed and Gary and I will watch the Steelers game! I really am thankful for Sundays! I always feel like if I can have a calm and enjoyable Sunday at home it sets me up for a good week! There are weeks when I have things to do on Sunday and don't get to stay home and it never fails that I feel completely flustered going in to the week. Anywho, I am going to jump off of here so I can enjoy the rest of my evening and take in this perfect view:
Be jealous, my life is pretty perfect at this exact moment! :)

And I'm so happy that it all came together and I'm glad that we waited until we found the right house for our family! And its so wonderful that we have a backyard for Lyla to play in! Today was a perfect fall day and we were able to let her spend a little bit of time out there this afternoon!
