~Thanksgiving Weekend~


This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with Randy's family. Yes...this meant that we took the relatively long drive down to Emery County. My in-laws are so awesome! We had a great time hanging out with the family, eating fantastic food, and just relaxing for the day. We had to drive home that night however, since Randy had to work all day the next day. Needless to say I'm not a huge fan of Black Friday, but we made decent money so I can't complain. Saturday I went shopping for Christmas stuff. We finally got a tree this year...last year we didn't have time to decorate since we were both working 12 hr shifts. Sunday we put up the tree but after we were done, we both felt like the tree was missing something, perhaps more then one thing. I really like our tree, but it needs something more. Any suggestions? Any would be welcomed. :)






Monday I took my first and last business trip to Texas. This will be my last as I have finally quit my job and will be leaving as of the end of the year. It's gonna be crazy trying to tie up all the loose ends but I'm really excited to try something new. Texas was fun, it snowed while I was there, after being told that it would be like 70 degrees...I think the cold weather likes to follow me. ha! I got to have dinner with my uncle who I haven't seen in like 3 years so that was a lot of fun. I got lost like 10 times because there aren't just normal streets in Texas, they are all freeways. It was a good time. I came home Thursday night and was so glad to be home. I hate being away from the husband, and my life here. Plus, Texas is full of cockroaches and they're gross. I'll take my few spiders and box elder bugs any day of the week.

Congrats on quitting your job! I CAN'T WAIT until I can do the same!!

Love your cute tree :) I would just add some tinsel or ribbon on it but that's just cuz I'm weird and think all trees look too naked without it ;)
