Coming Home

Well, here we are, and it's already time to go home to Rexburg.  We had a blast at Thanksgiving, ate lots of good food, and visited with friends and family.  All the things one should do on Thanksgiving.  It was great to see my cousin Kristi and her awesome husband and sweetie pie of a kid.  All in all, a very successful trip, as I got to see my amazing friend Sav's ultrasound, touched bases with good old Zach, and watched a lot of Twilight Zone episodes with my dear of dad.  I'm mostly delaying packing by writing this entry, and I really don't have too much to say, just that we can't wait to see you, dear Rexburger friends!  We're on our way!  Here's hoping our flights don't get delayed.  Stupid Denver...
I'll be posting a couple Thanksgiving pictures when we get home.  Ta ta!

Ahem:  my first attempt in the land of the Blog...  As Jesse and I get ready to move from our safe little Rexburg, I've been thinking of all the things I'll miss about our cozy little cocoon.  At the top of that list are the ridiculously cool friends we've made here.  Although I swore to Jesse that I wouldn't start blogging until we had little Thorsons for relatives to drool over, I relented.  As I'm not always very good at keeping in touch, I thought I'd begin this blog as a way for friends and family (and any other concerned life spectators) to peek into our little lives and see what's new.  So here's what's new:

We are currently in Medford, Oregon for Thanksgiving!  Yippee!  This trip seems special somehow...I think it's because we know that in a few short weeks, this will be home for a while.  We're (noncommittally) checking out  jobs, apartments, and wards.  Honestly, it's weird and a little painful to think we're leaving Rexburg for good.  And after our friends slowly trickle off to other places, I can't think of too many reasons to go back there.  I will no longer be called "Kathleen of the North" by my Mom's old friend Julie.  We'll miss the cupcake shop, the temple, the long, quiet Sundays, the frozen nose hairs, the wind, the sub-zero temperatures... 

Tomorrow, we drive down to Aunt Ginny's house, where we will meet up with my Mom's entire side of the family.  We're really excited to be able to get together with the fam, as we weren't originally planning on coming home for Turkey Day.  After much gluttony, Jess and I will fly back to the Burg for his last two weeks of school and my last two weeks as a nanny :(  I'll miss my three little hooligans.
