Austrians and smoked turkey

I have this song stuck in my head..you're welcome!

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!  So to catch you up, my Austrian Junior Class exchange student daughter (15) will turn Sweet 16 while she is here, can you say Sweet 16 Party?! arrives on January 8th to stay until the end of June.  I am a volunteer Area Rep for ISE or International Student Exchange.  https://www.iseusa.org/ and have joined Capital High School's Booster club and all that it entails in doing so.  Yes, dear readers I will be THAT host mom who completely engages in her students academic and school social calendar and activities. 

Shawn and I are on our fourth of six total cycles and if we succeed in getting pregnant this month making my expected due date on my mothers birthday of August 19th, and that would be incredibly meaningful to me.  I am taking this cycle a bit differently than the last three because I've read that if you just relax and focus on something else, that is when it normally happens.  Lately I've been so busy I haven't had time to obsess about my cycle or any ttc issues. 

We had family come down for Thanksgiving and tonight we will all venture downtown to the Parade of Lights that will finish up by the Fire tower for the annual lighting ceremony.  All in all, life is pretty incredibly and I can't remember when I've ever been so happy and content.  Hoping you are well and I hope you are surrounded by as much love and happiness as we are!  God bless!
