125...that's how many hours Aaron has worked so far this week and he's still not home. Hopefully he won't be too late tonight. I'm tired and I'm sure he' s beyond EXHAUSTED! The sad part is that he was planning on having the weekend off. But another resident's wife decided to have a baby, Aaron was off and in town so he got called in for the WHOLE weekend. Just our luck!
He did have Thanksgiving Day off. We were invited over to the Behesti's (our Bishop) house for a nice Lunch. It was wonderful. We were joined by a few other families and had a great time. The food was fabulous, it's always better when I don't have to make the whole meal. We ate til our hearts (and bellies) content then played "round robin" ping pong to work off some of that food before pie. I was in charge of the pies. I found incredible recipes for pumpkin cream cheese pie, coconut custard, regular pumpkin, and pecan. I had fun making them and even more fun eating them. It was nice not to have to spend the day alone. We really have been blessed throughout our time away from family with wonderful people who have become our family. We have been well taken care of over the years, although we look forward to the time when we get to spend Thanksgiving and the other Holidays with our families...all of them.

I'd love to get that pumpkin cream cheese pie recipe...I made raspberry and apple, but cheated on the pumpkin and bought 2 at Costco!
I totally cheated with the Costco pies too. They are just so stinking huge!! You guys are doing so good hanging in there during this rough spot. You are such a strong woman Amy. I know i could NEVER do what you are. We cant wait to see you guys!!!!
Oh Amy!! One day it might get a little better. I have a feeling your life will be a lot like this though! I am glad you put up with it. We wouldn't want anyone else! It sounds like Thanksgiving was nice. Tell everyone hi from us! We love ya!
