Thanksgiving miracles!

So two miracles happened this Thanksgiving...

1. I didn't kill anyone (as of yet) with my mothers homemade stuffing.. I will say I suffered intense anxiety, headaches, some tears, and some restless nights over this... However, it was a success. Still wasn't perfect like my mothers, but it sure was close enough for being my first time, and under the conditions I was facing!!!!

2. Jayden warmed up to Grandpa! They are officially pals :)

Hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving!!!!!

Pray for me...

I LOVE THANKSGIVING!

Well... I don't know if any of you have ever had to make something without specific measurements... It's kinda hard, don't you think? Yeah! Impossible almost! AND, how do you accomplish this task when the source of all this goodness is miles away!

Well, this week I am trying the impossible. I have to learn somehow, right? I am attempting the infamous mothers stuffing! And I have been given approximate amounts, and only the ingredients... Mother thinks its humorous.. But I think its horrible... because all of her best recipes, well best dishes, she does by TASTE and LOOK...and there never is a recipe!!!!

This might be one Thanksgiving NO one will forget!!!!

Just another ordinary day....

Well... President Bush was doing a book signing at Costco in Sandy Utah friday... and, well I guess you could say that I am pretty much famous now... I got to not only shake the hand of the President, but I was able to get a signed book from him. It was a firm shake too... I don't think we let go for like 5-10 seconds...Or, I didn't let go...

This is us waiting in line (Marissa on left, me on right)... It was like 8am... and we were waiting in line for like seven hours. It wasn't too cold, just kinda windy. We were in the first 500, so we were definitely gauranteed to see him. But I guess he got through like 1000 people. We had to go through security checks, so we weren't allowed any cameras or purses. They were pretty strict through that part. Overall, well worth the wait.

It's not everyday you get to meet a former President!!!!

Anyone looking for a cleaner?

Will work for food!

I don't know what Kim is teaching her child.... but, apparently he likes it :)

Christmas in Vermont!!!

I'm going home for CHRISTMAS!!!! It's been seriously the worst year.. and still being unemployed, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get home with tickets being in the high 600's. But, my amazing brother Evan gave me his skymiles from work.... and I was able to get a ticket home, and I only had to pay transfer fees. I am soo grateful for him! I wouldn't have been able to go home without him helping me out this year. It's not only going to be a GREAT Christmas because I get to go home, but because EVERYONE will finally be together!

It's going to be a crazy house for a week! Start preppin' mom and dad!
