Thankful for Thanksgiving.

This year we had a fantastic Thanksgiving! This entire week has been wonderful! It started out by me getting an A on my midterm for American Heritage! Yay, and then a mini vacay from school and work. 

We didn't go around the table this year and say what we are thankful for. So here is my mini-list; the gospel, my husband, my parents, my siblings, my aunts & uncles/cousins/grandparents, school, work, friends, and life. 

 We had a ton of family time and even a bit of shopping. I'm not much of a shopper, but I do enjoy the splurge on black Friday. This year we went to Wal*Mart at about 5 A.M. We only wanted a couple of their 9 dollar movies and Jason wanted some Xbox360 games, which were half off, so we got a few. The place was pretty insane. There were a ton of people, and even worse, they all had shopping carts! I understand the need for a shopping cart if you are planning on buying a Large TV, a bicycle, or even a trampoline, but if you are only getting some movies, LEAVE THE SHOPPING CART ALONE! There were seriously so many "traffic jams" inside that Wal*Mart it was ridiculous, but we eventually got everything we had gone there to get.

Oh ya, and the food was pretty darn good too!

Yes, black Friday can be dangerous. Seriously, I read an article today about an employee getting TRAMPLED to death yesterday by the mob of crazy shoppers trying to get into a Wal*Mart in NY as it was opening. NOT GOOD.

Running is death. Do you run?

I heard about that Wal*Mart employee too. It is disgusting that people are that bad.

I used to run, but now I'm way too lazy. I would never subject myself to a marathon! (unless I go seriously mental) Yes, WalMart is DANGEROUS! Hehe, but sooo cheap!!

Shannon! Happy Late Thanksgiving!! How's everything going? We really need to get together again. We should make a x-mas craft or something. A baby shower would be great! Around Feb.? Send your ideas my way! Xoxo
