So much to tell...

I last posted about my birthday and there's much to tell about the few weeks since then.

Brian and I spent Thanksgiving together. He's been living here since that week. It's been really, really nice with him here. I like spending my free time with him and having someone home waiting for me. I find myself making him lunch a few times a week and leaving him cutesy love notes from time to time.

Thanksgiving was fun. We went to Uncle Tracy's house and the house was packed. Most Thanksgivings with my family are. I felt a bit bad that Brian's mom didn't get to see him, but she's had him for a lot of Thanksgivings. He and I got two gift cards. One to Olive Garden and one that's a general type gift card. Food was excellent as it always is. We had to head out a bit earlier than I wanted because Brian had to work at the crack of dawn the next morning.

I was able to sleep in on Black Friday and really enjoyed the lazy time. I had arranged to go shopping with Brian's mom. She came by around 10 and we set out to Target. I wanted to look at Xbox 360's. Brian and I wanted to go half in on one. I made a B-line to the video game section and picked on out. They were the same price, but it came with a $60 gift card. I also picked up a few other odds and ends, nothing too noteworthy at that store.

We waited for Brian to get off and then headed to the Wild Side. It's a really cool pet store in Puyallup. I've had Frances since July and thought she could do with a little sister. There are a few reasons I like going to the Wild Side and not to the pound. Well, the Wild Side takes kittens from people, once they're sure they're healthy and sells them. They include a vet visit with the purchase of a new pet and give the parent free cat food. They take good care of the little ones in their care. I had a hunch that they'd have sales that day and I wasn't dissapointed. They had tons of kittens and they were $30.00 off. Brian and I picked out a little black and white kitten. We decided to get another girl so we wouldn't have any awkward humping situations.

I named our new kitten Samantha. Brian usually calls her Sammy. She's a sweetheart. She and Frances were at odds for all of a day and a half but they soon started being really good friends. Frances has been in heat for about 4 days so she's a bit more docile than usual (yes, we're getting her spayed next week). She's been playing with Sammy quite a bit when she's not humping walls and everything.

Things are really coming together in the Becerra-Smith household. We're doing our best to get settled in. Brian's mom has been a huge help. She's really good at getting things put away. I was a bit surprised that I was ok with that. I've always been a bit weird about people coming and cleaning my shit. She's been a lifesaver though.

Anywho, here are some pictures of the two cutest kitties in the world:
