Well I am kind of out of it on the blogging. It seems that the last thing I want to do is spend more time on the computer! I wanted to post some pictures from a while ago. These are from Halloween. The first one is from the night before, right after Sara gave me the idea to be Edward Scissorhands. Thanks for the idea sis! I made the hands in less than an hour and I won a hundred bucks the next day, as you can see from the other picture! Halloween was fun but it already feels like it was SOOO long ago.
This week was Thanksgiving. I don't know that I fully get the American's and their Thanksgiving, we get more days off for Thanksgiving than we do for Christmas, which seems odd, but I definately appreciate the time off. We went to Matt's mom's house for dinner, with John and Lindy. My mom wasn't cooking anything because she isn't American? (yeah, way to get into the spirit) so they came with us!We had a really good dinner, but the fun began at midnight. I went up to the outlet malls with some of the girls from my work. They were having a midnight madness sale. When we left a 11:30 we couldn't believe how many cars were on the road and we were wondering where they were all going. Yeah, they we going to the outlet malls too!! It was SOOO crowded. They ran out of parking and we had to park across the street. Then they had lines just to get into the stores. And then ofcourse the lines to buy stuff were forever long. We actually had a really good time though. We were all laughing at all the people there. We worked out a system where as soon as we got into the store, someone would stand in line while other people shopped around, then we would take turns until everyone had looked around and usually by then we were at the front of the line. They had some amazing deals. Entire stores were 50% off everything. So we found cute stuff for REALLY cheap. I was surprised though because I thought it would be like boxing day. It was WAY more crazy.
On Saturday we got to see Rob and Haley because they were in town for the Thanksgiving break. They are so fun we wish would could find more friends like them, or that Rob would just drop out of medical school and they would move back here. We went to Ikea with them which was fun, but they were out of everything that we wanted to buy so that was kind of disappointing.
Here are some photos from Thanksgiving.
