Black Friday!!!!


Every year we look forward to it! We almost look forward to it more than Thanksgiving and as much as Christmas. ALMOST. We talk about it for weeks and then when it finally comes and goes we want it to last forever. Sounds stupid, I know. But it is the one time of year we can pull an all nighter, get great deals and do our favorite things: Shopping and spending time with each other. This year we brought some new comers along. It is pretty normal for Katie, Shelby, Ashley, Eric(sometimes) and I to go but this year we switched it up a little. It was a full car this year...Ashley, Shelby, Katie, Allie, Chloe, Caroline and I went. We stocked up on our caffeine, got dressed in warm clothes and loaded up in my mom's large vehicle. We started out at Walmart where we stood by the dvd's for about an hour. We all split up with our partners and stood by different dvd's that we wanted. I stood by the Telivision series and luckily some very nice gentlemen were willing to help me get the ones I wanted, so I didn't even have to do that much work. When the horns went off at 12:01am the chaos began! We gathered up all the dvd's we wanted to purchase and stood in line for about a half an hour. Afterwards, we hit the South Towne mall! Nothing made me happier than going to wet seal, charlotte rousse, Newyork & Company, etc and seeing signs that said 50 percent off everything in the store! It was as if Christmas had begun! We spent hours and hours at the mall as we split up in groups and then switched the groups when someone had to buy a gift for someone in their group!
Around 5am some of the girls got sleepy so we went home to fuel up on thanksgivng leftovers and to drop of the dead weight! After the drop off it was just Katie, Allie and I! Went went to the Orem mall and went to the few stores that were open there. Then we went to Target at 7am and by then all of the good stuff was pretty much picked over. Allie got tired so we took her home and then headed to Best Buy! Surprisingly enough we were able to get the main thing we wanted at Best buy. Afterwards we headed to the Orem mall again because by now All of the stores were open.
I'm pretty sure by this time I was looking a little bit on the zombie side but I didn't care! We shopped for a couple of more hours and then our bodies were giving out even though our hearts still wanted to shop! So we went home around noon.
We slept till about 3ish and then we woke up and all the girls were ready to go out again, so we did! We hit the Provo mall and then we went to Chilis for dinner. The girls drank their weight in Dr. pepper(like usual) and we got 3 refills of the chips in salsa. What can we say? Shopping makes you hungry!
We finished up at about 12:30pm. We literally shopped till we dropped!

Happy Slapsgiving!!!

It was a great thanksgiving. Not anything like our normal thanksgiving! I stayed up late the night before helping my mom make pies. After hardly getting any sleep my mom came and knocked on my door the following morning at seven. I was soooo tired but nothing was going to keep me from learning and making my first thanksgiving dinner. Since we were finished with the pies all we had left was the rolls, turkey, ham, yams, mash potatoes, salad and stuffing....okay that was kind of a lot but WE COULD DO IT!!! Stuffing the turkey was interesting but a lot easier than I thought. My mom showed me how to make the rolls while I finished the chocolate pies and then we put took a nap because I wasn't going to be able to make it through thanksgiving dinner if I didn't sleep a little.
When I woke up I got the potatoes going and took a bath. Mom woke up and we threw the rest of the food together. Dinner was on the table by three. We usually spend thanksgiving with the family and all the cousins but this year we just spent it with our small family. As we ate we talked about a bunch of family memories and the food turned out really yummy! You appreciate it a lot more when you cook it! I never realized how much work my mom put into thanksgiving! Unfortunately after one big plate of food I was stuffed....at least I tried a little bit of everything.
After everyone was done eating we all went around the table and each wrote something we were thankful for for each person and then we read them to everyone. It was a great thing to do and even though we laughed and joked a lot of the messages were very touching!

Here are some of the many things I am thankful for.....
