Thanksgiving... already?

I can't believe Thanksgiving is this week! It seems like it was just Halloween.  I'm pretty excited. We take turns with my husbands family and my family for thanksgiving and Christmas.  This year we're having Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas Eve with his family. I'm really excited about black Friday which has basically become black Thursday evening.  I've never gotten to go. Before now my mom didn't want me to go because she was buying for me, I had to work, I had just had my twins, and then the last year I was huge pregnant and I had to take care of twin one year olds. But this year my husband is off work and is going to watch the kids while I go fight some middle-aged woman over a trampoline. It's bound to the best Thanksgiving day ever! We already have our tree up and presents under it. Presents that my sons think they should get to open now and have already gotten into trouble for trying to open. The only things that will put a damper on Thanksgiving are for one thing my daddy isn't going to be there and another is that we still haven't heard about our mortgage application and we won't hear about it until probably December 1st! I'm so ready to find out something! Hopefully they'll have that done soon and sent off to whoever they have to send it to and we'll be closing on our house soon! I know it's not that far off I just hate not knowing.  I hate waiting, surprises, and secrets. We aren't telling anybody where the house is until we know for sure we're getting it just in case, Lord forbid, that it falls through. I've had a hard time keeping it. Am I the only one that hates keeping secrets? My husbands family seems to thrive on them. I love my in-laws but it drives me crazy. They love surprises and secrets.  I don't see the greatness of them. We drew names with them this year and me and my husband said we didn't want to keep it a secret but they were like "majority rules" in this snooty voice. When did we vote? Me and my husband know who each other have. I have him which seems dumb  to me seeing as how he is paying for his own gift. Kinda not fair. Wow, I can't seem to post without complaining. This year we're doing Christmas at our house with hjs family which is one reason why I'm ready to move into our new house. Its quite a bit bigger than our 14 x 80 trailer. And the day we move my parents are giving us a King size bed for Christmas:).
