Thanksgiving updates!

Hey all!

First i will give you the low down on today, it was good. Had problems getting up, what else is new, so I walked over to calvary, although that is something that i am going to try to stop doing, because it makes it seem like church isn't important to me, but it is! the music was great though!

then i came home, went to fashiom bug, and found nothing, of course with a coupon! then i met up with jill at gold's gym. she got a couple free passes, so we used the jacuzzi, which was SOOO nice, and my aunt was actually there, funny! then we checked out midtown, which was better, in terms of the amount, so i think that would be great! i'm pretty excited! jill and i were thinking we could work out after work, since its open later, and then go in the hot tub and relax after work! plus they have raquetball too! we also might do a water aerobics class, which i think would be fun.

then after that jill and i went to burger king, and talked and hung out. it was a lot of fun, Lisa wasn't feeling well, so she didn't go with. way sad!

then i got home, and chilled and have been cleaning and went through my scrapbooking stuff, and organized, which was nice! took out Hawaii stuff, and put in Arizona stuff! yah for vacations! :)

now for thanksgiving, we actually had so much fun driving there, mom made a quiz called "How well do you know your childhood home" which was crazy weird, like "How many knobs in the kitchen?" how many pictures of dad in the office". i didn't win, but it was still fun, then we did quizes on jackie, mom, and kev, and i started on mine for the way home, but totally forgot about it, better do it for Christmas!

then we just chilled and napped, and we left at about 5:00 wednesday night, and got to St. Clair at about 3:30 in the morning. my work day was not good, TOO early in the morning, and i didn't take a lunch, so i decided to go to subway, and it was SUPER busy, then i tried mcdonalds BUSY there too, and so i went to a random gas station and got a small pizza that was not very good, even though it said fresh and warm on the outside, NOT!! haha!

anyways, back to our trip, we then slept at my aunts house, and she got us up at 8:30 in the morning, AHHH! i was like "don't wake me up, because i smell bad (because we didn't shower when we got there!) and everything!

we did get up, and our cousin jason, who is so hilarious and wonderful drove us over to grandma's, so of course we started to hug everyone! i did find out that my cousins that i didn't know because they were just born are ADORABLE. will loves swords, so everything was a sword to him, so of course, he loved Kevy! kate loved me, and everytime jackie tried to hold her, she would come to me, it was SOOOOO cute! morgan is sooo cute too!

so we hung out at grandma's, catching up with everyone, including my hilarious uncle rob, who we don't see alot, but hes' great! then we went over to my uncle's church for thanksgiving dinner, since there were so many of us, and the meal was really good, and we had fun hanging out with everyone. jackie and i found a room in the church for sunday school that had leather coaches, so we ran off and took a little nap, which was nice. of course they set up a tv screen projector for the dallas game, and they did win, so kevin was happy about that!

then we went back to grandma's and chilled some more, and played with the kids. then we had our white elephant gift exchange, which was fun! i ended up getting a mountain climbing bag from my cousin, and he was laughing cuz i got it, but its pretty cool! no complaints though because i do need a bag. then my crazy grandma had us play this crazy game, where she would read a story, although she forgot it, and made things up as she went, and everyone gets a gift, and when she said left or right, we passed the gift left or right and then you open what you got, although with grandma they were alot of knick knacks from around her house, haha, she's trying to downsize. the nicest part though was getting $100 in silver coins from her for christmas, THANK YOU grandmother!

then mom gave her this table she refinished for her, that grandma bought when we were shopping at home, and she was surprised because mom kept telling her she hadn't gotten to it yet, and when she asked mom to refinish her coffee table, dad said no, since it was big, but then mom told grandma to give dad a sad face, so dad said it was fine, which was so cute!! haha!

after that dad took a nap, since we were leaving that night, turns out we spent 27 or 31 minutes, i forgot, my dad figured it out, more driving then visiting with family! haha!

we then left around 11:30, and dad drove all night, although he needed to stop, and mom drove for him, and then mom kept saying "we will be okay, even though i cannot see!" which freaked me out, but it was funny, since she needs to get glasses, and has been saying that for years, literally!!! haha!

we all pretty much slept on the way home, and when we got back home, i slept some more. it was a nice, but very QUICK trip, but it was still good! nice to be home, now just getting ready for the week ahead!

have a great night everyone! :)
