Turkey and lines

I'm thankful for family and for food today. How awesome is it that there is a dedicated day where we get to eat food and mingle with our family? As much as I missed the rest of my family, thanksgiving was a pretty good day.
I really should have helped. My uncle was in the kitchen most of the day. He made the turkey, the stuffing, the apple pie, then proceeded to make the gravy and potatoes. I was one thing, lazy. I did make a peanut butter chocolate pie, and put the frozen pumpkin pie in the oven, over cooked it to.
We ate around 1:30, it was delicious! All 10 minutes of it! We huddled together in the living room on a fold up table with a queen top sheet for a table cloth, the babies sat in their highchairs over plastic wrap stretched over the carpet. Yeah, not redneck at all ;)
The rest of the day was followed by a nap, and reading over Black Friday ads. Yes, we were going to brave the crazy.

So we left around 7ish, first stop Toys R Us. They opened at 8. The line was clear wrapped around its neighboring store, RC Willey. We stayed in the warm car till almost exactly 8. Then we walked over to the front of the line. Our plan was to go in after the giant line. Until they only let 50 people in at a time! Seriously!? I guess that's why people got there at two in the afternoon!

Needless to say we left. Target next, they open at 9. We get there and they have four cops, caution tape and barricades. An equally impressive line just in a better formation. We get in line. 45 minutes of line waiting, we watched My Fairy Tale Wedding, ten minutes of walking after the doors open and we were in! We were in and out in 30 minutes! And got everything except one thing. I'm impressed. We drove back to Toys R Us, thinking maybe the line was gone, no such luck. I ordered my item online. Back home to bed was next. It was a productive night of spending money. Merry Christmas all!

Long Time, No Post

So it's been about six and a half months since I've blogged. Life seems to have passed me by.
  We are now in Utah, living with Megan and Ben. I've enrolled at Paul Mitchell. It's a cosmatology school. I started May 7th. We got here on the 1st. It's been crazy since I got here, Megan is in the middle of moving to a bigger house, Becky and Ray are moving home to Alaska and Kaleb has been nasty pukey sick. It's been a long two weeks haha. School goes till September 2013.
  The plan was to come down, go to school and be done by January so I can go back up to AK in January with Megan and Ben. I didn't realize school would be so long. So I might just stay here and finish up. I'm not sure how in the world I would do that though. But stay strong and the lord will provide, right?
   Kaleb is on the upscale from being sick. We've have lots of puke, screaming, fussing and long nights on the recliner in the living room, a night in the hospital, two more doctor visits and four shots. Finally the fever is gone and his smile is back. Still a little screaming and lots of fussyness, but better. I've had a decent mothers day, we are just hanging out at home, I'm pretty sure we have been going going going every day I've been here, so this is nice.
