Thanksgiving two-timers

I don't know what I was thinking but a week before Thanksgiving, I decided it would be a great idea to get my Wisdom Teeth extracted... stupid idea. 

Brian told me I said a lot of funny things coming off the anesthesia. 

I guess I have a lot of angst and hatred towards the Groundhog's Day groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil.. Brian said I was like, 

"I hate that guy. He just likes to mess with people and make them think that Winter's going to be over... but you know what?!? It never is! We should just kill him!" 

Just look at that scheming, manipulative and ugly face!!! 

It was kind of frustrating to eat Thanksgiving dinner, but I got to eat everything I wanted to at a slower pace. Luckily, a lot of my favorite Thanksgiving foods are soft anyways. Oh! And they let me keep my teeth. Pretty Cool. 

This Thanksgiving was pretty crazy for us. We have a lot of family here and we want to be sure that we spend time with all of them on the holidays. Families are what is really important after all! We started off our day by going to my brother and sister-in-laws house for a brunch. Afterwards, we came home and made some food preparations and headed over to my cousin's home in Herriman, Utah. They had their Thanksgiving feast at around 2 o'clock. We stayed there for about three hours and than made the drive back to Orem so we could have dinner with Brian's family at 7 o'clock. Needless to say we ate a lot that day. Afterwards, Brian and I came home. Brian had to do some homework and I went right to bed...

Oh, How I used to love Black Friday back in the day when I didn't have to work Black Friday! 

I miss those times. 

This blog is really short, but I just wanted to end by saying a few things that I am grateful for:

1. my loving family.

2. my sweet friends.

3. my opportunity to gain an education.

4. my job.

5. my home. 

6. a loving God that watches over and protects me, my family and friends.

7. my husband. 

who made one of the biggest sacrifices a man could make. he gave into my pleads and ended Mo'vember early. I seriously just couldn't take the beard, or should I say, "little rodent" growing on his face any longer..

Possibly because it reminded me of the groundhog I subconsciencely hate so much???

BEFORE

Imagine having to wake up to the above every morning. 

Have you imagined it?

...

Frightening, wasn't it?

:o

AFTER

There's the man I know and love. He was just being buried alive in ugly beard before. 

He has been shaved saved!!

I hope this holiday season finds you well. Brian and I have kicked the season off early by decorating our home for Christmas... a week ago. :) Also, Last night we made gingerbread men, drank hot chocolate and watched Home Alone. 

We are so ready.
