7 friends+1 cute baby+1 turkey+1 Wal Mart= One Fun Thanksgiving!

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it's time to report about that great holiday.

Thanksgiving this year was a little hard for me seeing as that it was the first Thanksgiving I spent away from my family (did I mention I hate work?) and that I was spending it was a nasty cold :(
Luckily, we had some good friends that invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. After waiting some time for the turkey to cook and for Peter to come back after I sent him home to get the camera and some more stuff for our pies, we finally sat down and had our grand feast! We went around and said what we were thankful for. Of course, I said I was grateful for my wonderful husband and my great family and friends (and Peter said the same about me:) only I'm his wonderful wife. I don't think he has a wonderful husband...at least I hope not...) after filling up on turkey, rolls, soda, and potatoes, I crashed on the couch with Amy and her little baby Haydn, while the men played a serious game of Risk. And by serious I mean super long...

Ten o'clock rolled around and we all decided it would be fun to hit Wally World and see all the "fun" people that were up waiting for Black Friday. It was super crowded so after a while we finally left and headed for home. We then laid on the couch together and watch "Charlie Brown's Christmas" together (now that Thanksgiving was over, I didn't feel bad watching it anymore:).

All in all it was a great holiday. Had I wished I was with family in Utah? Of course! But would I change the fun Thanksgiving I had with some great friends? Absolutely not:)

My First... Post and Jeep :)

Well hello everyone, I like the whole idea of a Blog and love Jill for starting one but I never seem to know what to write about, and even on the rare occasion when the stars aline and something worth reporting in my life happens I am meet by my arch nemesis.... creative writing! So try to enjoy the post!

The stars did aline a yesterday and and was given the chance to buy a Jeep Cherokee. I don't know exactly why I love that car so much, but I do. Granted it is not perfect but I love it. It is a Jeep Cherokee with "personality". The key only works on the ignition, the windshield needs to be replaced (ASAP) and there are a few dings and scratches here and there. It has a 2" lift and it is only a 2 door, but all in all... I love it!


This week I also registered for classes, come January 2012 I will finally re-start school. Since starting school in August of 2007 I have only been able to go to 3 semesters of classes. This is due in part to the mission (which is way better than school in almost every aspect... I say almost because I didn't get to marry Jill during the mission!). I am excited to get back into school, and to start studying and move forward with life. The light at the end of the tunnel seems pretty far away right now and I want to start walking! I am going to be studying Financial Economics, my friends tell me I am business minded and I love learning about finance.

Well that is about all for now, I will try and put up some pictures in the near future.
