NaBloPoMo

Last day of NaBloPoMo.  I didn't to too bad.  My life just isn't that interesting to post EVERY day.  But I attempted =)

Happy Wednesday

Already?

I was looking at my calendar today when it hit me...

It's December on Thursday...seriously!?  Where did these last few months go?  Christmas is sooooo soon...

I'm running out of things to post if you can't tell.  Side note, Darren's in Vegas visiting his mama and papa right now.  Just a quick little trip...left this afternoon, will be back tomorrow by dinner.  I hope he has a good visit!

Almost there...

So NaBloPoMo is almost done.  I haven't been perfect with posting, but not too bad either!  All I can say is that I am quickly running out of things to post...I was running out awhile ago!

Christmas is around the corner and I'm thrilled.  I've been listening to Christmas music since October, if not before!  This is our second Christmas in this home, it's fun being able to get at real tree and decorate the house all up.  Yesterday, Darren got out our Christmas bucket.  We put away the Thanksgiving decorations and started putting up the Christmas ones.  Darren also put up our Christmas lights, they look great!  Thanks hubby!  Next week we'll go get our tree from Costco and then it'll really be Christmas!  I even started wrapping presents today =)

Our Christmas Tree set up last year...

I love this time of year...I love everything about it. 

Black Friday/Day After

Thanksgiving was yesterday, it was wonderful!  On our way home from my mom's, Darren and I did some Black Friday shopping at Walmart.  We had the PERFECT plan.  We got there at 9, picked up all our 10 pm items, and by 10 pm, we were camped out next to Darren's blu-ray home theater.  We weren't allowed to touch that till 12 pm.  It was a long night, but we had fun with it.  Darren, of course, became friends with all those around him and was just chatting it up all night while waiting.  At about 11 pm, I headed over to get in line.  The plan was I'd wait in line, when I got to the front, I'd just let people go in front of me till Darren got there at 12 with the blu-ray.  That way...no waiting!  Well, at about 11:30, I was at the front of the line and turned to let others go ahead of me.  Only...it turned out, EVERYONE behind me was ALSO waiting until 12!  They let the electronics out at 11:45, so Darren joined me in line then, but we couldn't check out till 12.  The second midnight hit, we were checking out!  We were to our car by 12:15 =).  Couldn't have gone any more smoother, I don't think.

Today, the day after Thanksgiving, I have been confined to the couch.  Last night after kickball, I started to not feel so great.  This head cold has not been fun...but I'm sitting up now so it's a step in the right direction!

How was your day after?  Did you go Black Friday shopping?

Thanksgiving

I feel behind...forgot to post yesterday, even had a post planned out!  So I'll do two tomorrow.  But for today, Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you guys all had a wonderful day filled with food and loved ones.

Darren and I spent today with my family and had a great time.  We had lots of turkey and other yummy foods, then headed over to the park for some annual kickball.  We ended the day with some pie and ice cream.  Now, on to Black Friday Shopping!!!  (or...for most stores, Black Thursday)

Little Seester

(This was Wednesday's post)

In my family, I fall in a hole sort of.  3 years above me is David, and 4 years below me is Sandra.  So I only have one little seester, and she's pretty awesome.  Sandra graduated HS in May and is now at BYU-I, my old stompin grounds!  Anyway, Thanksgiving was yesterday and she came home!

 A few years back during our weekly beach trip, we went to Knotts =)

 Sandra and I go WAAAAAAAAAAAAY back!

 Just hangin around

 While I was up at BYU-I, I made a trip to Boise while my family was there visiting.

In Oceanside, that's why I am so dark.

My little seester is awesome and I love her!  It was fun having her home for Thanksgiving, and she'll be home for good (well, till April) in a few weeks!

Quadding

Or...4 wheeling, your choice.  Either way, we did that!  On Saturday.

It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cold, amazing!

Thanks to Steve for letting us borrow his quads

Thanks to Bishop and Sister Gravley for inviting us!  We had a blast with you guys and the Wiltbanks.  It was a wonderful morning!
