Why am I awake right now?

So it is 1 am right now and I am wide awake. After the traditional e-mail check and facebook scan, I decided that not being tired = great time to update the blog. For some reason I can not find the connection cable to our camera, so my apologies for no pictures (come on, we all know pictures are the best part of blogs, and we just sift though all the blabbing to get to them!)I do have some more recent sightings of "the belly". But I will post those when the MIA cable returns.
The last few weeks have been a blur. The cold front has officially hit Kentucky and is here to stay. It is on average about 30 degrees every day. It is weird to think that now the cold is here, it really will not be gone until our little Spring chick arrives! March is about the time that it starts to get warm and stay warm and just so happens to be when our little joy will be here to stay. Its fun to think that little Saunders will be here in one more season!
Thanksgiving was in a word 'laid back' this year. Compared to last year, when we had about 16 people crammed into our apartment, and I started cooking @ 8 or 9am. This year we spent it with may of the same people as last year, minus a few. There were 12 of us I think, and we were all crammed into our friend's apartment. Basically all of our families are too far away, so we were all depressed together. But whew, the food was delish! It was a great time to fellowship and just be with people we love here in KY~
I am pleased to say that this year, Ben and I experience our first...Black Friday. We got up @ 3am and met up with our friends Danny & Stacey (the other native Californians...who by the way are more hard core than us and didn't even go to sleep at all) And we stood out in front of Office Depot for 3 hours waiting for it to open...In the freezing cold. Our patients was repaid with $350 laptop computers...well Danny & Stacey bought one. Ben and I sold our laptop ticket we got to some Indian guys for $20. But all in all this is what we ex caped black Friday with:
1 $60 500GB external hard drive
1 $5 jumbo size box of baby butt wipes
3 $10 jumbo size boxes of diapers
and....a 20 dollar bill from the Indian guy

I think I might be hooked
