Thanksgiving and Shopping

This was a busy and slightly stressful week! The biggest day of all being Thanksgiving of course. We picked up Tirza at 10:30 and then had Thanksgiving lunch at Mimi's Cafe with Tyson's parents and grandparents and it was so good! We had a good time talking and catching up. We went to Tyson's parents house and played Sequence and Bloody Smash with his mom and grandma and Tirza. We took Tirza home at 4 and then went to my family's house. We looked at Black Friday ads and talked to whoever happened to not be cooking. Dinner was delicious! Two Thanksgiving dinners in one day! We talked to my family for a bit but they were dropping like flies since they were all sleep deprived. We let them crash and went home to relax.

One of the best things about this week was the shopping! We got a new bed frame and night stands in September and we just ordered the two dressers that go with it! We get them on December 10th and I can't wait. Our room will finally match! We got the Blind Side, Zombieland, and the Dark Knight on Blu Ray and we got The Sword in the Stone, Batman Begins, The Grinch, The Iron Giant and a Barbie movie for Tirza. My favorite thing was the Big Bang Theory seasons 1-3 for $12.99 each! The best part was that I ordered it on Target.com and didn't have to fight the crowds! We got some couch pillows and another DVD case since ours is now overflowing. Now we're going to stay at home and watch all those DVDs since we are now too poor to do anything.

So we watched another Jean-Claude Van Damme movie this week called Universal Soldier. It was cool and was actually based in Clinton which is where Tirza lives 5 minutes away! We watched a few episodes of Bones and only have 2 episodes left in Season 5. Then we'll have to wait until season 6 comes out or watch them on Hulu. We finished Into the Wild and I was very disappointed. It had a slow plot and I didn't like the ending. We watched the first episode of Firefly and that was a pretty good series but it only had 14 episodes so we'll probably finish it pretty quick.

Tyson has a new favorite game. It is called Last Night on Earth and it is about the zombie apocalypse. You have the heroes and the zombies and there are different versions that you can play with different goals. At the start of each game you choose the corner pieces of the board that have different buildings so the game board is different every time. It is a very fun game and all of our friends are totally addicted to it. I can see us playing this game every weekend for a long time! Tyson has had it for a week and we've played it four times! It is a fun strategy game and it can keep everyone's attention. The best place to get it for anyone who is interested is boardgameguy.com and it is $35. You can select local pickup and you won't have to pay for shipping. It is addicting and fun!!

The night of the blizzard I was supposed to meet Nicole to cook snacks for the team meeting and then drive to Draper for it at 7. You can bet that didn't happen! The team meeting was cancelled and it was decided that travelling anywhere was not a good idea. Tyson left work before it hit and stopped by the store to get some D batteries and flashlights since ours were not in great shape. I got the camping lantern out of storage just in case the power went out. Tyson got some extra water and some emergency supplies we needed anyway. He was sitting in the Del Taco drive through when it hit. The wind was crazy! We had our balcony covered with snow and it was all the way up to our front door on the covered stairwell! It died down pretty early instead of lasting all night like everyone thought and we kept the blinds open so we could watch it. We had a friend over and hung out and watched a movie and then later had pie with our next door neighbors. It was nice not having to leave the apartment! I would never have gone anywhere in that. I was glad to have a relaxed night at home!

Not much else happened this week besides Thanksgiving and mass amounts of shopping. Hopefully next week we can report that we watched The Blind Side blu ray that we just bought since we haven't seen it yet! I hope its good :)
