Thanksgiving

In October, Michael was recruited to work for another company.  He switched jobs at the end of October and has enjoyed learning new things at his new job.  He will not be traveling at this point with the new company.

This year it was the Adams' turn for Thanksgiving.  They were invited to go to Brian's house in New Mexico so we tagged along.  We were able to spend a few days and even experienced Black Friday with Susan.  We shopped at 10 pm at Walmart and then on to Target at midnight standing in the Albuquerque cold wind for about 30 mins waiting in line to get in the store.

We went up to the tram to take it to the top of the mountain to look around - it was 15 degrees at the top.

On our way home we decided to stop and let Payton experience 4 Corners.  He thought it was pretty cool to be in four states at one time.  It was fun watching him try to figure out how to put his hands and feet to get it all right.  It has changed since Michael and I were there almost 13 years ago - we took a road trip for our one year anniversary and ended up driving through the 4 Corners area. One of the vendors told us that they had even more changes planned in the next few years.



I think we are done traveling for awhile.  It seems that we have been hopping somewhere just about every month this year.

Question for the week/month

What is the last book you read and what are your thoughts on the book??? Mine is the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.  Once I got into the book, I could not stop reading.  We first only bought the first book but then by the time I was done with that one, I ran to Costco to get the second one that just came out.  I am now waiting for the third book (no idea when it will be released but I am hoping soon but it looks like 2011!)  And I just learned they are making a movie from the series.  For those of you that have not read the books, I don't want to say too much about them so you have the same experience reading them that I did.

Split Again

Our huge ward (over 875) finally split today!  This will have been our 5th ward split in 8 years in 2 different cities.  We are land locked now so hopefully we will not go through another split for awhile.  We are in the new ward so that means that we are no longer ward missionaries.  They only called the Bishop this morning so he does not even have counselors at this point.  Who knows what our new assignments will be - the possibilities are endless.    It is always fun to be in the new ward, starting fresh, never knowing where we will end up nor who we will be able to work with and get to know.  I am excited to see where this adventure takes us.

I am getting old!

I went to the eye doctor two weeks ago and was told that it is surprising that I have never had glasses.  So I was given a prescription for glasses - my one eye is like 160 and the other is like 40 or something.  So today the glasses came in.  My eyes are not liking the adjusting - 33 years of trying to focus on their own and now they are being forced to focus on the correct things. This is the first year that we are not having Santa play a big role in our Christmas presents.  It seems to be working out much better this way.  Small Bugz has even asked how we do stockings.  If we get up really early and do them.  He will get to help with that this year too. We are planning to go see Invictus and Sherlock Holmes this week. Anyone have any opinions on the government health care plan???
