catching up.....

What a Crazy Month of November and already it has ended!! A few Highlights from November. On the 13th "papa Tim" had a birthday! On Saturday we took our kids along with Shar and Josh and their kids down to Disney on ice. Me and the Kids enjoyed it, I'm not so sure that the dads enjoyed it but they were good sports about it.

WE (when I say we I mean Justin) GOT A JOB!!!! what a relief..........I don't have to move away from HOME!! He was so excited when ATK offered him a job and they are going to count his internship as experience so he gets to start out at a higher pay :) He gets benefits right away which means I don't have to work my extra graveyard shift to get enough hours to cover insurance. YAY!!!!!! You wouldn't believe the smile Justin wore on his face for a few days after they offered him the job! I'm so proud of all his hard work and ambition. Speaking of ambition Justin has decided that he "Loves" school so much he is going to continue right on to his masters. The real ambition behind continuing school is that if he doesn't we will have to start paying on student loans, and he wants to get a new truck instead. So... A new Truck and More school is what he has chosen! What a silly man I think, but he has worked hard so he can have his new truck I guess.
DID YOU SEE TWILIGHT???? I LOVED IT! Karli, Jan, and I went and seen it on the Friday night after it came out. We bought our tickets a few weeks before and we went an hour early and still had to wait in line behind a bunch of people but we had good seats still. Although the book is much much better, I think they did a pretty good job with the movie. I was a little disappointed by some minor things and after I watched it I wanted to go back and read the 1st book again but I haven't.

Thanksgiving was Great. I had to work in the morning Which wasn't too bad, I did miss Dinner at grandma Jeans but the boys and Justin went out for a visit. Then They met me at moms when I got off and we visited there for a while then went to Grandma Jans and Visited with Cody and Rachelle. My kids absolutely adore Cody and Rachelle and Kyler waited all week for them to come.
BLACK FRIDAY..... any one else as Crazy as me?? I absolutely LOVE going shopping on BLACK FRIDAY. maybe it's the rush or maybe it's spending lots of money Who really knows but I do like to go. I dragged Justin along this year and I'm pretty sure this will be the 1 and only year he participates with me. He said next year he will just work overtime and we will pay full price for everything :) We were in Logan by 430AM and home by 9am. It was one of the shortest Black Friday shopping trips I have ever had, but I figured I wouldn't push my luck with Justin because he is so pleasant when he is tired and even more pleasant when he is Shopping. :0)

In Other news I need to congratulate "Uncle Cody" he got accepted into Dental school! We are so EXCITED for him and Rachelle but kinda bummed that they have to move away I will really miss them but it's hopefully only a few years then they can move back home......... (Hows the Spelling Cody, Hopefully I spelled things funny just for your amusement).

I hope everyone Had a Great Thanksgiving, and Is getting ready for Christmas.
