Thanksgiving parade

Thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving

Well I just kind of skipped over thanksgiving without telling about how it went. We were able to actually get tickets to sit in the stands for the Macy's parade so that was really cool. I have seen the parade several times in person and have seen the balloons fill up several times as well, but let we tell you nothing compares to being able to sit and really enjoy the parade. It was nice to not have to worry about being crushed by the masses of people that are there or about not being able to see anything except for the balloons. We were in great seats and it was really really cool, I will put a few pics of the parade. We then just made our way back to our apartment were we began the preparations for the big meal. For all those city people that enjoy going to a restaurant to have a thanksgiving meal, boy you are crazy. I always went to my grandmas or my mom made a big meal for thanksgiving, there is something special when you can make it yourself and it really means something. It was just Caroline and I, but it sure was fun and we had a really good time getting it all ready. We were even able to break out our fine china for the first time which was really cool as well. In the end is was a fantastic meal, the food was amazing and the leftovers are still being consumed. Ill put a pic of the spread that we had. So overall Thanksgiving was a great holiday spent here in our home with my wonderful wife, how can you beat that right?

Life

Well it is already past Thanksgiving and on the way to Christmas, time flys by really fast these days. It has been awhile since either one of us has written on here. Caroline is loving her new job at Macy's, and is doing very well. We just got a new addition to our family on Sunday. No not a child we are still not crazy enough to have one of those, but we are crazy enough to buy another dog. For all of those who really know us, we love pugs and I have always wanted to have 2 pugs one that is a fawn color which we have and another one that is black which we just got. I have always wanted to have Yoda and Vader and so we now we finally have our little star wars family and if we do get another one in the future it will be a Brussels Griffon that we will name Chewbacca. Yeah I kind of like Star Wars. It is fun to have them. Well life out here in Queens is great I was so tired of living in the Canyons of the financial district and in Manhattan that is is really nice to get out and to see the suburbs of New York. Our apartment is great all of the comforts of home. We have been able to furnish it up really nice and it feels so much more like and actual family home rather than just a space that we are occupying for a year. The holiday season is really nice it is such a fun time of year to set up your tree and to really decorate the place for Christmas. Stockings are up, the tree is decorated, the nativity is out and all of the sweet smells of cinnamon and pine are filling the air. What a great time of year.
It has been rather busy here in the apartment over the last month with friends and family visiting from Montreal. It has been great to actually have people over and not to worry where they are going to stay and if I have enough cushions for them to sleep on. That mixed in with all of the sports that have been going on over the last month on the weekends it is crazy. With all of the games that are on I need another TV to watch them all (the 2nd TV is coming soon).
Well as for me I am still looking for a job, I have been looking since may so that is a bit rough. It is really hard to keep going and going to interviews and hearing the same thing time and time again...sorry we went with the other guy who had a little more experience than you.... It is hard to get up the faith and the belief that it will really happen and that I will finally get hired. But other than being unemployed life is good. Not any thing else to complain about really I guess, just not having a job. That's about all I can think of right now.
