Thanksgiving Weekend

This weekend was busy yet full of relaxation. Huston had a 4 day weekend of nothing, and i did too pretty much(minus work.)
let me tell you all a little about the weekend.

Huston basically did EVERYTHING regarding thanksgiving on our part. Poor guy didnt even go play in the ward "Turkey Bowl" because he was being the wife. He baked a turkey, made rolls(homemade and amazing), potatoes, corn, yams, and cleaned our house before everyone came over. I came home from work, (BOO WORKING ON HOLIDAYS) and he then didnt allow me to touch a thing. He let me skype with my family who were all at my aunts house. It was great seeing everybody. and Huston is amazing for doing all this. I am so grateful to him for all that he does for us, and for me! Our first thanksgiving married and me, the "homemaker" didnt even do anything. Im pathetic, i know! But that just goes to show how amazing of a husband i have!Everyone else contributed too. To add to the feast was pie, stuffing, berry pretzel salad, drinks, chips and dip, and another(EMO:cooked in a pit, hawaiian style) turkey.(sorry if im forgetting anything)

Anyways.. Thanksgiving was spent with our really good friends. We were surrounded with love all day. We brought the neighbors table to our house and made a long "Feasting" table. we had decorations and tons of food. we feasted and then had PIE of course. Everyone seemed to go home to relax for a while, and then we reconviened later that evening for games! It was just a fun day all together! It felt very much like we were with family and it was nice and homey!! It made our first Thanksgiving married pretty great!

- for those of your wandering why the heck i am writing so much..I am writing this out to remember years down the road, sorry to those who dont want to read. It is our first year of marraige and we are staring to develope some fun traditions. Which should be documented right??

Anyways, Black friday was not spent shopping. It was my only day off from school and work so we headed to China's Mans Hat beach to picnic with our left-over turkey and some friends. We literally spent all day there. We played tons of games, competed in a long jump competition, friends swam out to the island and hiked it while we babysat nephew(because we have already done the swim/hike). he mostly slept while we played volleyball, football, and threw rocks at crabs. he is the best nephew in the world by the way. It was so relaxing to spend most of the day at the beach. Had not happened in a while. Me and the beach had a much needed date. .. Huston and i were really tired when we got home, so Huston ran to the store, got us some hot chocolate to put us in the mode of Christmas, popcorn w/ MnM's, and rented us a movie, while i looked online at some Black friday deals (nothing we could afford, big suprise;)) haha. We lit our small Christmas candles, and relaxed at home curled up on the couch the rest of the evening.

Saturday and Sunday i had to work. BOOO that too! but its only a short shift. So saturday we did homework together, and i made dinner for my friends family who just had a baby. After getting frustrated from doing homework on the holiday weekend, we resorted to going to the new Harry Potter movie and grabbing a pizza! It was a good movie, however i wish i would not have gave in to seeing it yet. We were supposed to finish our marathon. So needless to say the movie was a little hard to follow for both of us, having not read the books or watched the previous movie recently. haha. But it was good and fun.

The best part about the weekend was knowing that school is over soon, and that we get to go home. Also, the wonderful quality time we were able to spend together!!
