Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday Madness

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Jeff and I have had a busy, but fun-filled year with lots to be thanksful for. Here are some things we have been especially thankful for recently:

-Living back in Utah so that we can spend time with our families

-Being healthy despite a few colds and flu here and there

-Both of us getting multiple scholarships for school and for almost being done with it

-Having work and enjoying it

-A warm apartment to live in

-An eternal marriage

-Living close to the temple

-Our cute little kittens who are such troublemakers but we still love them

BLACK FRIDAY MADNESS:

This year we really wanted to get a new laptop so that we could use it for all of our music. Walmart had a great deal ($198) on one and so we decided to brave the crowds of the black friday mess and wait for it. Our adventure began Thanksgiving night at 7 pm where we waited in the frozen food isle for 10 hours to get the laptop. Lets just say it was a long cold night, and the first night in my life that I stayed up, but we were able to get everything we wanted and saved over $600! I know we may be crazy, but both Jeff and I love the rush of saving a lot of money.

The holidays are here!

I am halfway done with my second internship and surprisingly enjoying being at a skilled nursing center. There are many days I come home with interesting stories....getting pooped on, dealing with schizophreics, grumpy old people, and lots of paperwork. I especially love the short work days...8-3 or 4 pm is wonderful!

Jeff is still working hard at passing his classes and working at the cabinet shop. His boss has asked him to transfer to the main shop, Fetzers, for the next month or so to help out. He is not too happy because that shop is by Usana and that means he has to wake up at 4:45 am. I am greatful that at least he has work during the winter and am happy that he gets to do something he enjoys!

I know its early, but I am tired of looking at fall decorations, so we decided to put our Christmas stuff up. I love Christmas and am happy to be home this year.

In other news, my Grandma Pearson, began her Chemotherapy for the breast cancer that she was recently diagnosed with. She is such an amazing grandma and has taught me so many things in my life, especially about having a good attitude when life gets difficult. Good luck Grandma in the tough months to come!!! Jeff's dad also underwent bilateral TKA's last week and is doing great and planning on returning home soon. Best of luck to him as well.

I forgot to post the cd covers we had signed from Senses Fail and our concert tickets.
