Lighting Festival

Our little town has a lighting festival the day after Thanksgiving which also includes a Santa parade. The weather was SO nice. Normally going to these is near torture. So bitterly cold. Not this year, it was probably in the high 40s! James was very excited to see Santa. He was a little bash full, but you could tell he was taking it pretty seriously. Knowing that if he didn't tell Santa what he wanted he might not get it. Sweetie face. Ada on the other hand, wouldn't even look at him once Caleb brought her closer. One of those numbers where Caleb would try to set her down on his laps and she gripped on to Caleb so hard and kept raising her legs higher as his lap got closer. Besides that they both had a great time. They also got a little cousin time in with Jacob and Cade.

11/11/11

Today I am thankful for our vets! Thank you to those who served past and present!
I am also thankful for the number
1
It is 11/11/11 and I am posting at 11:11am! What up?!

"According to numerology, each number holds a unique vibration with associated traits attached to it. One and two symbolize masculine and feminine energy, respectively, with one deemed as "the creator." When repeated, one becomes 11, which is considered the Master Number, representing rebirth and, you guessed it, new beginnings.

When broken down into separate digits (1+1=2), the number 11 resonates with the number two and, therefore, takes on additional attributes. Today is plush for matters of the heart, since 11 is commonly associated with intuition, inspiration, compassion, and tolerance, while two, the number associated with feminine energy, embodies union and partnership.

Today may be an extra lucky day to gamble, given how many games include 11 in favorable ways. Eleven is a very desirable hand in Blackjack, causing players to double down and increase their potential winnings. In Craps, 11 is just as good as the favorable seven on an initial roll. Eleven is reportedly a popular lotto number as well—no doubt because of all its vibrating power.

You may have to be a mathematician to get excited by the numerical tricks that 11—which is the sixth prime number—can perform: When multiplied by itself, the number 11 equals a palindrome every time—from 11 x 11 (which equals 121) to 1,111,111 x 1,111,111 (which equals a pleasing 1,234,567,654,321) and beyond."

It's also a full moon tonight! Go get yer gamble on! I think I might! :)

Sister Sister Sister. I am thankful for my one and only sister! She is such an amazing woman. It feels funny calling her a woman, but that is what she is. She is so strong, smart, and beautiful. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful person in my life. She is my best friend. She is my favorite sister. ;) She is an awesome Auntie JJ and my kids just love her. I miss her like crazy and can't wait for the day to have her back in my everyday life. (Living closer than a million miles away.) I am so proud of the person she has become. We are pretty different, but always on the same page, if that makes any sense at all. I am so lucky to have had such an awesome person to grow up with and have in my life now! I LOVE YOU ERIKA!!!
