It was awesome! Thanksgiving was good, we went out to Valley of Fire like we do every year. It was good to see family although there weren't as many people as usual.
I completely spaced it, on our way from Cedar to Overton, something in the engine of the truck blew. So now we have to buy a new engine! Yay... Luckily my car still works fine so we have a vehicle but the whole Thanksgiving trip we had to borrow cars and then hitched a ride with Jared's parents back to Cedar on Sunday. It was quite the adventure! We're both very sad about the loss of our beloved truck. Hopefully soon we'll have the money to fix it!
Anyway, so we went to Vegas to spend Thanksgiving night with Jared's family. We had another spread of turkey, mashed potatoes, yams (SOOOO good), and all sorts of extras. I ate entirely too much but hey, it's Thanksgiving! The next day I would regret it though. As I was walking up the stairs I hear a riiiiiip! I guess I'd gained a few in the last week of gorging myself and totally ripped a huge hole in the only jeans I had with me! They were my favorite pair too! So guess what Bree got to do on Black Friday? That's right, hit the shops in Las Vegas, with crazy people running around everywhere. I found a super cute pair of jeans and felt a bit better, but I am determined to lose those few pounds! Okay, maybe it was more than a few... mom thought I was pregnant when I got to their house... haha guess I should lay off the turkey huh? All I could do is laugh in a situation like that though. We spent the day playing cards, playing with Paisley (our niece) and playing with the dogs. It was lots of fun.
The next morning I headed into Overton while Jared stayed at home with his family. I decided to go Christmas tree hunting with my family up on Cedar Mountain. By the time we got up on the mountain it was getting close to blizzarding and freezing cold! We searched and searched for trees and finally found some that would work. During our search we heard thunder crackling all around us! It was terrifying but exhilarating at the same time! We got our trees, got in the truck, and got out of there as soon as we could! On our way down the mountain we were sliding a lot, having a huge trailer on the back of us didn't help matters much but we made it down to Cedar, about an hour and a half later.
Overall the week was splendid! I also borrowed all the Twilight books from Mom so I'm going to read them as soon as finals are over :) Haha "literary junkfood" it may be but I am still going to read it! A bientot mes amis!
