I have a blog, Ethiopia or Bust www.bottomlysandethiopia.blogspot.com I think you have visited my blog many many moons ago. :) We have one son Silas from Ethiopia and are in the process of adopting again from Ethiopia. First of all I just spent way too long trying to hunt down an email address for you off of all your blogs... :) I couldn't find one, so I have resorted to leaving a long comment. :) I wanted to see if you might be interested in something. My husband Josh and I recently wrote a book, From Ashes to Africa. www.fromashestoafrica.com if you want to see a little about it. The book is about our journey towards adoption and Africa... Though the book is not being released nationally until March, we are going to be able to sell them through our website shortly after Christmas. I was wondering if you might be interested in receiving a free copy of the book in exchange for you blogging about it after you read it. It is a really quick, easy read. I think it is 198 pages and it would probably take 2-3 hours to read in one sitting I would guess. Anyway, if you are interested and would be willing, we would love the promotion and advertisement! :) I am pretty sure you have a pretty good size blog viewership. :) Let me know if you might be interested/willing.

I was gone last week - went to a weekend conference, came home & then headed off to Toronto for work! Now I'm scrambling to get my house ready for family weekend guests, and food ready for dinner on Friday after shopping - my mom had foot surgery so the bulk of the cooking is falling on me. At least I have Thursday to tie up loose ends... I think I may have to give up sleep this week as well!

Last year my boyfriend came over for dinner on Thanskgiving night, but this year we're both spending half a week at my parents' house. Hopefully enjoying the first Southern California rain storm of the season. I can't believe you're doing 2 Thanksgivings plus early morning shopping! Sounds fun and busy!

For the first time, I am cooking the ENTIRE Thanksgiving meal and we are having our host student who is from Malawi over (we have a neat international friendship program here at Virginia Tech where you get paired up with a student from another country and get to know each other) and it will be his first American Thanksgiving. We are also having some friends who are all from Kenya over so it will be an all African Thanksgiving here-extra fun as we near the top of the waiting list for our adoption from Ethiopia!

This will be my first Thanksgiving without ALL my kids. As long as I don't think about it, I'M OKAY!! Our Thanksgiving meal is at my Mom's. I stopped by last night to ask my 76 year old mother if she would like me to come early Thursday to help put the meal together. "NO". Will I be that independent at her age? I certainly hope so!

It's a small group, but I'm so excited about the cooking, I can hardly stand it. I love Thanksgiving. On the other hand, I'm so sleep deprived, I might put cranberries in the mashed potatoes. But I'm hoping everyone will be thankful anyway. Well, since you asked, I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my immediate family (hubby, three kids) and my in-laws.

I am so thankful to win. I'd like books 2 and 3. Gracen is looking forward to them. If you could email me with your email address, I will email you my snail mail info. Sorry again for not being able to locate what is probably right under my nose! Thank you! Hi Mary,
