Thanksgiving Holliday!

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! It was nice to have a break from work...too bad it couldn't have been longer.

Anyway, Thanksgiving was awesome! Nice and relaxing! The best part was I got to spend more time with Andy. Because of his CS projects, I don't really get to spend too much time with him. He is always sooo busy! So, spending time with him was definitely something I was grateful for. :) To make things easier, here's a break down of the holidays:

Wed the 23rd: Worked until 5 and then we went to our ward Thanksgiving dinner. Then Andy played bball until 11 pm. Then we watched a few episodes of 24.

Thurs the 24th (TURKEY DAY!): Cooked the turkey Nu Skin gave us. It's a tradition..Nu Skin gives a turkey to every employee for Thanksgiving. Very nice! Watched a movie and the we went to Tim and Julia's for dinner. I thought it was very kind of Sister Nuttall to let us join them. We had lots of GOOOD food. Afterwards, we went to my place and watched more 24. We were trying to stay up to go shopping at 3:30 am (Black Friday Sales).

Fri the 25th: Went shopping at 3:30 am. Our first stop was CompUSA because they were already open. Unfortunately, there wasn't really anything left. We then went with a few friends to Best Buy. The line was HUGE! So we decided to go check out Staples. We wanted to know what time they opened. Turns out, Staples didn't open until 6 and there was hardly anyone in line. So we stayed there. It was soooo cold! But, 6 am finally rolled around and we rushed into the store! We got tons of good stuff! We got a free remote control, laminator, and paper shredder. Then we got 2 web cams for 5 bucks each! I thought that was cool! I also got a 512 mb memory card for my camera and Andy got a 19" LCD flatscreen monitor. He's always wanted one and they were on sale for only $200 bucks. Luckily we were there early enough so he could get one. He also got a great deal on a hard drive and USB keys. Shopping that early was definitely an experience but I don't know if I'd do it again. :)

After shopping, we went and ate breakfast at Denny's with our friends. And then we went to watch RENT at the movies. We didn't like it too much so we ended up walking out halfway through and watching the new Zorro movie. Then, we we ate dinner and then we went to a friends house and played games. We played Sequence! I haven't played that game for a long time. It is a FUN game! :)

Sat the 26th: We finally got a chance to go to the zoo! It was much fun! The only thing is it was really really cold! The zoo is in SLC and it had snowed! Other than the cold, we really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Especially the gorrillas and the turkey knocking on the door. We assumed it was trying to get out of the cold. :) After that, we went and did some registering and then watched "The Forgotten Carols." It's my favorite Christmas story so it was fun to see. :) Afterwards, Andy had to go back to programming so he could finish his projects. Such is life!

Basically, that was our weekend. On Sunday, Andy met with Bishop and the Stake President for his Temple Recommend. I'm excited for him to go through the Temple Saturday night! I know we'll receive even more blessings!

Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
