looking forward to

Our upcoming trip to St. Louis is fast approaching...and that week will be filled with fun visits with family and friends, with a Thanksgiving dinner thrown in there too! My mom makes a delicious Turkey Day meal...

In addition to those wonderful things, there are a few highlight activities that I am really looking forward to:

:: I can not wait to go to this store...I've already told Chris that he and Aspen can plan on walking the mall while I waste away a good amount of time in here! Rows and rows of nothing but goodness...walking in the front door, I have to stop and just look around. It's a little piece of heaven for me.

:: I also can't wait to go to this store. I've never been here, but my mom tells me that I am going to absolutely love it. Especially with my new Clean Eating lifestyle. :) I'm going to be a label-reading fool with a full cart and a huge debit card bill!!! I get a little giddy when I read the ingredients on a package of food and 1) I can pronounce all ingredients, and 2) there are under five ingredients. You would surely think I'm the biggest nerd on the planet. I'm going to stock up, since finding healthy food in Abilene isn't the easiest task.

:: My mom and Randy came up with the great idea to go see this show the day after Thanksgiving...they saw it last year and thought it was an amazing show. And when I mentioned the possibility to Chris, he was actually super excited! Which totally took me off guard and I had to check to make sure he wasn't being sarcastic! :) I'm really looking forward to this...

:: If time permits, I'd also like to take a trip down to share this with Chris and Aspen...I haven't been back since that horribly sad day, and I would like to see it again now that some time has passed. Take some photos because it is quite a site to see. Share it with my family, who was not able to attend the funeral...

And one thing that Chris is definitely looking forward to??

:: This...at least once!
