AND...a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE DADDY, JOE CHESSHER, who will be 80 YEARS OLD ON NOVEMBER 26TH!!!!

This month has started off very warm. The first week has been near 70 degrees or more every day! How great is that for winter so far...I'm sure it won't stay that way, but it sure is nice so far.
I started training at JetBlue for our new computer system. I started on Tuesday, November 3rd, and have finished the first week. My class goes from 6:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. (I have to get up at 4:00 a.m.- YUK!!)
On Saturday, November 7th, Bob finished cleaning out our garage and finally got both our cars in. The problem is now for me not to hit the Expedition when I'm driving my little car (Chevy Impala) out. (I've already hit it once!)
Last night, November 6th, Anakhan and Ian went camping overnight for Boy Scouts. They went out to Stansbury Island. Bob let Ian borrow his camera and he took almost 100 pictures.
While the boys were gone, Angela and Richard went to a concert to see, "They Might Be Giants." Bob tended Azure and watched, "The Parent Trap" and went shopping together. (I had to go to bed early for work!)
Tonight, all of Angela's family are going to see "They May Be Giants" again for their family show.
Monday, November 9th, Azure will be 10 years old. I can't believe how old she is. She's a real cutie, and we love her so much! She already acts and dresses like a little teenager!
The next few weeks were pretty slow, and I just was busy working. Bob has been out of town a lot this month.
On Veteran's Day at Ian's school, the fifth and sixth grade classes put on a program to honor veterans. Great-grandpa Barrett (and great-grandma) came all the way from Bountiful to see the program.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I had to have bladder repair surgery the day before Thanksgiving. I spent the night in the hospital that night and came home on Thanksgiving Day. Bob was home on the week of Thanksgiving and was with me when I had my surgery.
After he brought me home, while I rested, he went out to Bountiful to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Sorry I missed visiting with everyone. Bob stayed out there for a couple of hours, and then came home. He brought me a plate of food, which I ate...even though I probably shouldn't have.
Ever since my surgery, a lot of ladies in our ward Relief Society have been bringing food in every night. I feel really spoiled. Bob and I are not used to having such good food in the house. I really appreciate their kindness. What nice friends I have! I just hope I can "pay it forward" and help others out when they are sick or have had surgery. I have been laying around a lot trying to get healed up. It's a little hard to sit, but I have really not been in that much pain.
I have had a leave of absence from work for my surgery and recovery. It would be a little hard to work when I can't even sit!!!
Thanksgiving Day, November 26th was also my sweet Daddy's birthday. He turned 80 years old!! He is such a wonderful person and has always been my hero. Except for his chronic pain in his hip, his health is pretty good.
I had originally planned to be there in Florida to celebrate his birthday, but because of my surgery, I had to put it off until sometime later. Hopefully, I will be able to go there around April 2010. We are planning a trip to go up to northwest Florida and Alabama where Daddy grew up. We are looking forward to it, so see you early next year, Daddy!!
Well, it's holiday season and we are really looking forward to it. Look forward to my December blog and I'll write all about our Christmas.
