Thanksgiving and Christmas

Well, thanksgiving was fun! First time away from home with my mom and dad's delicious cooking... away from my sister Deborah and my besties Tina and Elizabeth. They always come over for dinner. First time to not go to a thanksgiving movie with the family. First time, however, with my family, sister's family and friends! The food was deeelish and the fellowship was great. I did get in trouble for leaving Julius with PJ while going to Burke's (we celebrated on Black Friday so there was a sell) because I was late getting home. But come on, we were out with the girls and there was still two husbands at home with Jules and Josiah... and Ellie, almost forgot.
Speaking of Black Friday, we had the best one because it was just Walmart. Yes, small town equals only one store, however, we were there at 4:45am (with the excited Julius) and were able to get EVERYTHING we wnted, paid for, and packed in the car by 5:25am!! How awesome is that?! We could NEVER do that in Washington. We did miss out on the great deals at Target, but another time. We were content that day. =)

Christmas... we just had a visit from PJ's grandparents and that was fun. They loved our church, how friendly everyone was, the small town feel, and of course, our wonderful house! They came on Saturday and left today, Tuesday morning. The wind last night was crazy... I heard it was suppose to be 75 mile winds!! I wonder if it was more! Well, now PJ and I are relaxing... somewhat... his work for some reason always gets him to go into the station on his off days. He was gone for about 3 hours but now we are going to eat leftover pizza, cherry pie and vanilla bean ice cream and watch a movie. We have our Christmas party on December 11 at the church and PJ is going to try and stop by. Then we will be heading home to WA from December 15th-21st.
In WA, we are going to try and stay at my parents' house from the 15th-17th and then in Olympia at PJ's mom's 18th-21st. I am going to see my bestie Liz, go to the TAC mall, be with my parents, go to a game to see my cheerleaders, go out with bestie Tina and her boyfriend, have Christmas with fam including Deborah, go to Zeke's basketball games, go to Oregon, go to Southcenter to see roomies Kate and Donis to try on bridesmaid dresses, go to Pj's fam Christmas party, Christmas with PJ's fam, spend time with his dad, then come home. Yes, seriously busy vacation... but we will have fun! Hopefully... no... we will have FUN! =)
Then in NM, we will be back and have Christmas with Al and Cora on the 25th... PJ has to work, then Julius' check up on the 29th... and then............................................. NEW YEARS! I can't believe how fast time flies. December is already going by so quickly.
I probably won't post till 2010 so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Make it a good one. Remember, Thank God for what you have and Trust God for what you need!
