Home for the Holiday's!
Although it wasn't the most traditional, this Christmas surpassed any other Christmas so far (yes even the year I woke up surrounded by my own vomit haha). I was able to spend time with all the people I love most. I flew into Vancouver on the 16th and was greeted by 3 beautiful women (Jess, Jamie and Grace)! After that my holiday was split between 2 groups of people. My sister and I spend a few nights at her house hanging with the boys, relaxing, chatting and eat eat EATING. The girls and I spent wonderful days together shopping, decorating, reminiscing, joking, laughing and of course more eating. I ended my BC vacay in Sydney with my parents and my little bro. This was the laziest part of my trip and I wouldn't want it any other way. My mom and I cooked wonderful dinners, we watched movies, cuddled on the couch and enjoyed the fact that we were together. I returned home on the night of the 23rd to a very excited husband! We celebrated Christmas by combining both our families traditions. I must say the Carkeeks and the Buzinskis sure know how to do Christmas! Even though I'm sad its over, I am excited for next Christmas with our little baby boy! Thanks to everyone for the wonderful holiday...this is not going to be forgotten.

Titan
This is Titan! Lennie originally wanted to name him something clever, but eventually got sick of me putting down his ideas...so I got to choose. I chose the name Titan because of his handsom looks. Lennie didn't love it at first, but now he says the name is fitting because Titan is...Big, Dumb and Handsome!
I have taken multiple pictures of him, but for reason I get this look on his face in every pic.

Memories
As I sit here (trying to write a paper) with the christmas tree lit, presents, wrapping paper, and hoilday cards scattered about I begin to get nostalgic about the past events in my life. I have experienced some pretty amazing moments all of which have been with my friends and family. Now, by experiences I dont mean a trip or vacation, but more like a moment that brings a smile to my face or tear to my eye when I think of it. Here are some of the most memorable moments from my past with you guys...
1. Buck Bay/Thormanby: I cant say there is a year that has been better then the next. I think we can all agree that each year has come with some crazy stories and good laughs!
2. San Fran: The place where I was labeled a "snack" and quit possible started my drinking addiction
3. Our old "tuesday night dinners" at carmens: It was so good to have one day a week where all of us took time out of our sched to get down to the one thing that brings all of us together-food and TV.
4. The countless "drives" we have been on: Although I do kinda feel bad for the environment, I must say the view of marine drive and convo that goes with it is unforgettable. I think Jamie and I have had some of our most heartfelt and serious talks on that road, plus plenty of laughs and tons of good songs on repeat.
5. The many hung over mornings spent in ashleys bed, jamies bed, graces bed, and amanda murrays bed: I think all of us have shared some after morning giggles and embaressment in these beds.
6. The adventures at amandas murrays cabin in whistler. WOOOOWWW WEEE. If those walls could talk.
7. Breakfast, lunch or dinner made in the Hodge or Murray kitchen: Sipping tea and eating a home made meal while we chit chat about life, boys, friends and anything else that comes to mind
8. Making dinner with my mom: Actually anything I do with my mom. There is nothing I love more then hanging out with cyns for the day, making a HUGE din then curling up on the couch (while she rubs my stinky feet) and watching tv. My mom has a way to make me happy like no one else does, her laugh is contagious and her love and generosity make me want to strive to be more like her.
9. My witty banter with my sister: We are usually making fun of someone..most likely Aidan, but maybe my mom. When we get together its like we are still kids.
10. Making Dinner with my Husband: Well he makes it I really just watch, but theres something about being at home with the dog and spending that time together. Plus I love to watch him cook, his talent amazes me.
Im sure there are many more moment that we had together and if anything comes to mind please feel free to comment!

It's not always about the 'glow'...
While the joy of knowing you are growing this beautiful being inside of you is one of the most exciting things you can experience; I must say pregnancy is not always about the 'pregnancy glow'. In fact on most days I can definitely say that I m far from glowing. Here are just a FEW of the side effects of being pregnant.
1) Remember when you were 16 and all you wanted to do was sleep? Well times that by 20 and that is how a pregnant women feels. The feeling of being eternally tired is one that plaques me every day. It's quite sad actually, even small things like blowing drying my hair, make me wanna take a 30 minute nap. The other hard part about this constant lack of sleep is explaining to your spouse why you are in bed ALL THE TIME. Eventually the pregnant card is not gonna cut it haha.
2) Your body creates enough gas to fuel a small community. I burp ALL the time (I know as if I didnt burp enough before). I burp when Im hungry, when Im full, when Im tired....I burp when the green traffic light goes red... I think you get the point. It becomes so natural that sometimes I catch myself openly burping in public.
3) The Great expectations of pregnancy eating is non-existent. This one is particularly hard for me since my husbands a chef. There is no worse insult that telling a chef you dont want to eat what they have prepared. The sad thing is I WANT TO EAT IT, I want to enjoy a delicious meal full of seasoning and garlic, unfortunately my pregnant belly doesnt. Things that I used to love and crave daily, now make me want to throw up in my mouth. I no longer crave sweets or Mexican food or sushi, which may be a good thing for my expanding waist line.
4) You would think that when you tell some one your pregnant they would congratulate you and tell you all of the wonderful things about being a parent. NOPE. I have heard the following: Your going to get really fat, your never going to sleep again, and you cant do ANYTHING after the baby is born. But my all time faves are the ones about whats going to happen to my vagina: your vagina is never gonna be the same, your gonna have to wear a diaper for weeks, and your gonna squirt pee everywhere. One guy at work now calls me "oatmeal" because he says his GF's discharge resembled oatmeal. YUCK.
Even with all of these not so ideal factors, I am still excited for the next 4 months of pregnancy and for the birth my little bean sprout.

I am Thankful for...
Every year at Thanksgiving dinner my family goes around the table and tell everyone what they are thankful that year. Tomorrow we celebrate AmericanThanksgiving and I must say I have plenty to be thankful for this year. So much has happened to me in the last few months, let alone the last year. Who kneww when I made my treck across country last October, I would end up at the place I am now. NOT ME!
I have entered the most amazing and exciting part of my life and I could not be more content. With that being said I am thankful for everyone who has given me unconditional love and support throughout my life up till this point. I have to say I am truly blessed with the most amazing friends and family. Truth be told, I was very nervous to announce my pregnancy for fear that some may judge or criticize. While I know my decision is not the one everyone would choose, I can honestly say that there was not one moment that I felt any negativity from any of you. In fact I was overwhelmed by your excitement, support and positive attitudes. You all mean so very much to me and my life would not be the same without you.
As for my better half, and I mean BETTER! Lennie Buzinski, you are the love of my life and the best thing to ever happen to me and there is really no way for me to describe how much you mean to. You definitely treat me far better then I could ever deserve. I still get butterflies when you send me a text and just the sight of you can turn my bad day around. I will never get sick of your "Hallmark" comments (Although I do think we should start selling them an get RICH), I will always nag you to eat breakfast...lunch and dinner, and I will always love you with all my heart.
So to all you amazing people in my life who have encouraged, inspired, motivated, helped, loved and supported me....I'm thankful for YOU!
