Thanksgiving vacation
















































I guess, I could post more to this blog. I have been playing catch up since my last post. Thanksgiving was so much fun. We made a trip to Albuquerque, where most of my family live. This year, I stayed at my in-laws, which turned out to be nice. The night we got there, Jake and I went on a double date with his friend, Paul Sandoval and his girlfriend. We watched "A Christmas Carol," with Jim Carrey. DID NOT LIKE IT!!!!!! Jake and I wanted to walk out, especially cuz we spent $27 at the cinema in downtown Albq. Ridculous. We are use to spending only $6 for an evening show and $4 for a matinee at tinseltown in Grapevine. Then we went to play pool, which I had not done in years and never with my husband which was fun.

The next day was Thanksgiving and we had lunch at my in-laws, then we made it to my sister, Marilee's for the afternoon and evening. I finally got to meet my newest grand niece, Marley. She is adorable. We were able to spend the day with my step-son, Christopher, which was so nice. The next day was a day at Kohl's. We were suppose to go shopping, but the line at Khol's was too long, that we just went there. Josiah had spent the night at my niece, Tami's house with her kids, Ky, Saya, and Nash., so we wen to pick him up and had lunch with my mom and sister, Ima at Dion's. Don't really like it there, but everyone else does, so I can handle a salad.

That evening we went out with my high school buddy, Tracy and her husband, Jeremy and met up with Jake's high school buddies at the Q-Bar in downtown Albq. Tracy and I use to laugh all the time in high school and here we were laughing again. It was so much fun.
The next day was a treat to meet up with my family, including my niece, Christina and her family at The Flying Star, where they sell organic food. It was delicious. Then it was off to my niece's, Amanda, in Rio Rancho. It was so nice. I love visiting and enjoying my family. It was back home the next day as I finished my weekly homework on the drive home as Jake drove the entire way. That was the first time he drove the entire way himself with no help since he moved to Dallas, so I didn't feel bad at all that he did. I was proud of him. I have done that drive countless times by myself with the kids.
