Thanksgiving! Whoo Hooo!

I can't wait until Thanksgiving break. Even though I have like an extreme amount of homework, I cannot wait to see the family, eat until I do not feel good and of course black Friday. I can't wait to go home and see my niece because she is getting so big and I hardly ever get to see her. Last time I went home she went with her mom to see her side of the family in Harvey North Dakota. She got to go hunting with mom. Ha. My brother got a nice 8 point buck this year and is extremely proud of it. He gets so worked up about those things just like any man does. I usually go hunting, but didn't this year and already regret it. O well I can always get that "tirdy" pointer next year. Ha.

Other than that, it is getting colder outside, so I know the snow is coming. Ugh. I am going to have to get out my winter boots which is always so depressing. But I do love the Christmas season and everything that comes with it. I love the music and decorations and overall feeling during this time of year. I hope everyone has a great break! Enjoy it while it lasts!

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

This last weekend we held a baby shower for my cousin. She is having TWINS! This is a first for my family. She is having both a girl (Gracie) and a boy (Vincent). So, my family got together this weekend and through her the most perfect shower. It was so much fun and she got a-lot of useful gifts that the babies are going to love. She is due in February and already is super big and looks already like she is going to pop. Ha. We are all super excited and are just wishing that things continue to go well for her and her husband. I love new babies in the family! Brings so much excitement!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Not only am I excited for a break from school, but with Thanksgiving comes BLACK FRIDAY! This has become a tradition for my cousin, my mom, my aunt and I. We get up way before the sun is up and wait in line for hours to get the good deals. Yes, we are the woman that hurl over things to get the good stuff. Sometimes, standing outside int he -30 below cold makes me wonder why we continue to do this every year. However, by the end of the day, I am already counting down the days until next year. I can't wait to get together with the whole family and talk and laugh. The woman of course go through all the adds in the papers and make sure we circle what we are going for the next day when we shop. This has become "Our Mission Items." Ha. Even though when people find out I am a black friday shopper they look at me as if I am crazy. I just tell them it's all fun and games until you see that big screen TV on sale! Ha.

The weather has been perfect; not too hot and not too cold. Just perfect. Homework and school is still stressful. Nothing new there. Volleyball is going good. I am enjoying it a-lot and it helps me to get out of the house and away from homework for a little while. Well until next time.
