Black Friday




So this was the first year that i have ever gone shopping the day after thanksgiving.  Probably because i really like to sleep and can't handle getting up so early.  This year i was after the cricut expression scrapbooking machine.  They were on sale for a really good deal at Roberts.  Chris and I woke up at 4 am so that we could get a good spot in line.  We had a dilemma because we also wanted a dyson vaccum from target.  Chris' sister was going to target so we gave her money to get us a dyson so we wouldn't have to risk the dyson's being gone after we had bought the cricut....anyway....it was really funny cuz we were there so early and i was so worried that we wouldn't get a good spot in line.  When we got there, there were hardly any people there so we got a good spot (like 8th) in line.  It was actually pretty exciting because the line got really long and we were some of the first people in the store and the people just poured in!  We rushed to get the machine and it was crazy with how many people were scrambling for stuff!  Although i was exhausted the rest of the weekend for waking up so early, I think i will be a lifelong black friday shopper.  Even though i felt like a huge nerd in line at Roberts so early it was worth it!  We got the cricut and the dyson so we were happy.

Thanksgiving




So this thanksgiving was spent at my in laws...aka my new home.  Chris and I have been here since November first.  We were planning on staying in this room that we are in for a couple of weeks until the basement was finished....the two weeks has turned into a whole month.   I am trying to be patient but it is really difficult having all of our stuff in storage since we weren't planning on being with out it for this long.  We are now hoping it's at least finished by Christmas cuz i am going nuts!  Especially with a baby on the way, I am really wanting to make by baby "nest".  Besides that it really hasn't been to bad living with the in laws.  I really like Chris' family so it has been pretty fun.  I posted some pictures from thanksgiving.  Me being tired and pregnant, Cece and nephew Declan, Chris enjoying his pie.
