Joe and I drove home on Wednesday afternoon of last week. It was the first time I have used my tape player in my car, as we listened to a book on tape. Does anyone remember what a tape player is?! Books on tape make the drive go SOOOOOO much faster because you get so absorbed into the story. We got into town and I was so anxious to get to the house because Avery was there (dad was babysitting because mom and Tiffany went to see "Twilight"). It MELTED my heart when she saw me because she said "hiiiii" and ran to me, clapping her hands and hugged me! I couldn't take my hands off her. It was the first time I have see her walk. She really like to mimic what you say, or the noises you make!
Thursday Joe and I got up and took Tiffany some Chai Tea and flowers to the hospital. Tiffany is is a true angel. It takes an amazing person to take care of such tiny, sick babies; all the while, being about 8 months prego, husband gone, and one year old at home. Tiffany, you are my hero. Joe and I then went to Tiff's house and hung out with my mom, Avery, and Krista! It was a really relaxing Thanksgiving day, but SO nice to just lay around with my family!
Friday was the YUMMY DAY! We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday. Tiffany and Avery came over, Avery wearing the dress Joe and I got her for her birthday. Nana and John then came over and we all enjoyed nuts, veggies, then an amazing turkey dinner. Thanks Mom for the great dinner! That night, after eating, dessert, and watching the Broncos kick the living daylights out of Fresno, Joe and I went and watched Dad play hockey. Dad wore the Minnesota Wild jersey we gave him last year. HE IS A STUD! He scored two goals. After, Joe and I went bowling... I SUCK! Joe kicked my butt, but we had a lot of fun .
On Saturday, I went to Ladies Workout Express and saw some of the members and my former co-workers. I love that place! Joe and I then drove north to Lynnwood and had dinner with his brother Andy and his family. After we went to the Seattle waterfront and walked down the whole pier, then up to Pike's Place Market. All the lights and decorations were coming out and Seattle was as busy as ever! I love the holiday's and watching people scurry around with shopping bags, all the display in the windows, the chilly air, and the lights. I LOVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!
Sunday, came way too fast =( We all went to church and then had lunch together. Avery was so funny laughing at Dad and doing her "popping" of the mouth with Joe. We took some family pictures and then we had to leave. I have never had a 4 day weekend go by so fast. Although it did, I cherish the memories that I made with my family! I can't wait to come home in a couple weeks.
On a side note, my first week of work was crazy at school. Bomb threats, lock downs, safety holds, and three early morning staff meetings. I understand what Dad means when he says "my heart cries out for students". Please keep Centennial, and all other schools in your prayers. Adolescence is such a hard time on teenagers, and I just pray that everyone will discover their potential, stop fighting, and love one another (here I go preaching again).
Last night, Paige and I went to dinner and then went and saw "4 Christmases". Not going to lie, it wasn't as good as I expected. There were funny parts, but I was a little disappointed. Today, my goals are to clean my room, clean out my car, do some laundry, study for a test, and then go Christmas shopping this evening. However,I am following in the footsteps of most high school kids, and the ladies of my family, and started reading the Twilight Series. I haven't gotten out of bed YET! But its Saturday, so I think I am allowed to by somewhat lazy.
So all of the pictures I posted are backwards! I don't know how to move them around to show the beginning to end of our trip back home, so I would suggest scrolling down to the bottom and coming back up! Have a great weekend everyone!
