Movie Time

Today we hit the movies to see Four Christmases. It was really funny and had me rolling with laughter through out the movie. Now we are back home as the rain has started and we await to see if any snow flurries really do come down tonight.

Iron Bowl 2008

Well, I expected Alabama to beat Auburn this year. But, I was thinking we would at least score rather than the game ending with 36-0. It is going to be hard to listen to all these Alabama fans. Lets see if they can get 6 in a row.

Day After Thanksgiving

Today is the day for our Thanksgiving meal. Michael did most of the cooking. Portia and I helped with the cleaning. Elisabeth helped with getting everything ready to serve and Gene carved the turkey. My dad, Mike, can over to eat with us too. It was also his first time to see our house. All the food was wonderful and of course I ate too much! Later on, after the kitchen was back in order, we watched 3:10 to Yuma. It's only a little after 8pm and I think I am ready for bed already.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we are getting the house all ready for Gene, Portia and Elisabeth's visit with us. This will be Gene and Portia's first time to see the house. We are planning just a ham and some vegetables for tonight and will do the "big" Thanksgiving lunch for Friday.

Update on Neighborhood

When we attended the neighborhood meeting we signed up for email notifications of suspicious activity in our neighborhood from a home owner within the subdivision. We got an email Saturday that another home in the area had been broken into on Friday during the day - if I understand correctly this is now a total of three homes hit in the area of our subdivision. With the holidays nearing and the current state of the economy I am afraid we are going to get many more of these notifications.

Twice the Twilight

Well, Saturday I decided to head to the movies to get a second helping of Twilight. I really love this movie! So that makes it a yes to adding the books to my Christmas wish list along with the soundtrack that is out too.

Twilight

Late Thursday night, I headed to the movies to see Twilight. I had to see what all the hype was about. Turns out, it was actually a really good storyline and I really enjoyed the movie. I might just have to go see it again! Also I am now thinking that I'm going to have the books added to my Christmas wish list.

Neighborhood Meeting

Michael and I attended a neighborhood meeting regarding some recent crime and suspicious activity in our area. The sheriff representative provided some great information that I will remember to keep in mind. It was also nice to meet a few new people in the neighborhood and even found some who work at the same company as us!

Veteran's Day

One of the pros with both my husband and I working for the same employer is the fact that we both have the same holidays off from work. Today we went to the movies to see Madagascar: Escape to Africa. It was really cute and I ate a ton of popcorn. Then we stopped in at Hobby Lobby to pick up a few items for my latest project - a pine cone wreath. Got home and spray painted the pine cones gold. I can't wait for them to dry so that I can try to attach them to the grapevine wreath I purchased.

11.10.08

Today, I was out of the office on one of my random vacation days. Well, not too random for I did take the day before a holiday - Veteran's Day. Just did some organizing around the house in preparation for the holiday season. The most exciting part of the day was lunch with my husband at the McDs half way between the house and his work!

Disappointment

This weekend I had to send our RSVP for my cousin's wedding being held in Michigan with a decline. I am really disappointed, for Michael and I were so looking forward to attending.

Election Day

This morning my husband and I voted. Tonight I will be watching Fox News for the continuous election coverage to see who will be the next President.
