Kevin made it home safe from his business trip this afternoon. Before picking Kevin up from the airport, I finally got around to scrubbing the kitchen after baking Thanksgiving dinner. I can not believe how messy the stove and oven got but now it is all cleaned up and pretty. I was hoping to get the rest of the Christmas decorations out today but it didn't seem to fit in today. On the way to the airport I dropped Macie off at Laurans to be groomed. She was starting to get really shaggy. I feel bad cutting her since it is really starting to get cold outside but she is a pretty dog when she is groomed. All afternoon after I got Macie home from being groomed I would either find her by the oven if it was on or by the fire if it was on. Glad we can keep her warm with the oven or fireplace. Ashley has piano lessons on Tuesdays so we had dinner early tonight.
Once she was home from piano we had some time before bed time so we spent some time facetiming Madison. It was nice chatting with her. She got a lot done today. We have been waiting for her BSU transcripts to get added at BYUI but it hasn't happened and we requested it back in August or September. She contacted BSU and found out BYUI had the transcript so she called them and they did have it but forgot to process it. This has been a big frustration every time she registered just in case she registered for something that will transfer from BSU. I am glad that we should have answers here in the next week or so. She also got some grocery shopping done. I am glad that she has roommates with cars so she can tag along with them when they go shopping. It is fun to watch her come into her own and get more comfortable in what she is willing to make. Allison had a pretty low key day. Just school and homework. She is so dedicated to her school work and making sure she gets straight A's. I wish that I would have been that dedicated when I was her age. All in all it was a good day but I can not believe how fast the days are moving. It is almost December and it feels like

we just rung in the new year.
