Dad is doing well. I spent five days with him during my Thanksgiving break and it sure was nice. It helped to see dad in a "home" environment. I was able to see what he could do and spend a full day with him to gauge whether or not we will be able to take care of him. I felt better after I saw him. I think we can do what is needed. It isn't going to be as hard as I had imagined.

He is doing really well and he can do many things. It was cool to see how mom took care of him. She lovingly helped him with everything. I think we are going to make it through this hard time and I feel like we're going to be able to take care of him. Maybe I should phrase that differently....I think MOM will be able to take care of dad. I will help of course, but I feel confident that she can do it by herself when she needs too.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a small gathering of family members to celebrate with, but it was still good. I felt a little too emotional all day as I reflected on all that has transpired this year. It sure has been a tough year. Thankfully everything worked out alright.

I spent this weekend house hunting. I've wanted to buy a house for a long time, but I've never gotten around to doing it. With my salary I can't afford a mansion, but I am hoping to find something nice anyways. I just need a home. It doesn't need to be the nicest thing in the world. It's all TEMPORARY in the grand scheme of things anyways. I think I better use my time to build my mansion in heaven and just be happy with whatever I can afford for now on earth. I think HOUSE hunting is pretty fun though. I'm already interested in a specific house too. It has crazy carpet in the basement  with every color of the rainbow in it and the house looks like a fixer-upper. It matches many of my wants and needs so I guess we'll see if it works out. I hope nothing is wrong with it. If that one doesn't work out I'll continue to look until I find a good one again. I wish houses were free though.
