Post-Thanksgiving

Well, all of the events that I blogged about last week turned out to be pretty fun. :) I would post a nice picture, but I am really horrible at actually taking pictures, and don't have one that matches. So, oh well.

All in all, Black Friday Shopping was kind of fun. :) I don't know that I would wake up at 2:30 ever again to go, but waking up at like 6:00 or 7:00 is definitely an option and would be fun. We didn't get the main thing we were going to get. Which is a bummer, because it was a gift (that had a HUGE discount) for somebody else that we were really excited about. But, we still found a way to make it happen. So that is good.

We ended up going to Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Gamestop. haha. We left at about 2:30 am, and got back around 8:30 am. We waited from 2:50-4:00 to get into Target, then made our way over to Walmart which was across the street. Surprisingly, Walmart really wasn't too bad. Target was a nightmare. And by the time we got there, Best Buy wasn't too bad, either. We decided to get a Wii for ourselves for Christmas since we found a great deal on one. And we're pretty excited. :) Now we just need to figure out what small things we are getting for each other. Which we are both actually struggling with. haha. We both already have everything we want (that is plausible). We are super excited, though. :)

Thanksgiving was great, too. We spent it with my family this year. We take turns every other year going to each family. It was a great meal. Really, though, my favorite part is just being able to spend the time with family! I am soooo lucky and blessed to have such a great family. Both of them! :) Scott's family is great too, and I love spending time with them. Most of all, though, I am thankful for my wonderful and loving husband. He's pretty amazing. Always there to love and support me, and comfort me when I feel so stressed or overwhelmed that I feel ready to explode. Life is so great with him, and I don't even know where I would be without him. Cheesy and cliche, but so true.

I am also thankful for our jobs and the opportunity we have to be here, getting an education. We have a great apartment (despite the fact that is is made purely of cinderblock). And we are truly and genuinely happy. Which is all that really matters in the end, right? I think so.

Also, a bit of exciting news... Scott has turned in his application for Pharmacy School. So we should be finding out in the next couple of months if he gets in (and if he does, where we will be going). We applied here, Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Pittsburg and Maryland. So now we just have to wait... and wait. But it will probably go by very fast, seeing as life never seems to slow down.

Anyway, I should probably get going. Our apartment could use a good cleaning after such a busy week. :)
