Lately I have been on a roll in writing on my blog so I decided to keep them coming. I wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
Jeff and I had a wonderful weekend. We spent Thanksgiving with Jeff's family and had a wonderful dinner all directed by Jan. We had a great time talking with everyone and I had a blast playing with my nephews and nieces.
On Black Friday, Jeff and I surprisingly went shopping. In Utah, Walmart opened at midnight, Kohl's opened at 3am, Target opened at 4am, and Kmart opened at 5am. So Jeff and I decided to wake up at 5:30 am and see what was left. On our way to Kohl's we stopped at Kmart to see if there was a Wii game (NBA JAM) still available and surprisingly it was. There were only three left and Jeff bought it half off for his birthday. Once we hit Kohl's I was expecting the lines to wrap around like it did in California a couple years ago, but it was just a normal line. Jeff and I got a king size down blanket for $25 normally $120, a matching dinning set for 8 people for $60 normally $100 (that wasn't as good of a deal but we needed a dinning set), and a nice wool pea-coat for $50 normally $170. After that I went to Walmart and bought some DVD's on sell for $2, $5, and $9, and 8x10 picture frames for $3 for our wedding pictures to finally hang up. Most of the movies was picked through, but I still bought some good movies and the best part was there was nobody in line. On a normal day at Walmart I am usually stuck in line. Jeff and I went at the best time. At Kohl's a lady behind us was saying she came at 3am and the line was wrapped all the way around the store so she came back at 4am to shop and again at 6am.
On Saturday, Jeff and I went to the Utah vs BYU football game. To be honest, I enjoy watching some football, but I don't get all upset who wins or loses unless I am playing in the game or I am watching a family member playing in the game. So I think I was more upset at the fact I couldn't feel my toes than BYU losing. I have to admit, it was sad, but I think I would have felt the same way even if BYU won...I would be happy, but sad at the same time. Who know's maybe I would have been jumping up and down if BYU won. It is so conflicting.
Anyways.....HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am grateful for all of you!
This weekend we celebrated Jeff's 27th Birthday. It started on his actual birthday, Nov. 18th and ended last night at midnight with a bunch of friends. On November 18th, I took him out to one of his favorite restaurants, Texas Roadhouse. I think I ate two baskets of those amazing rolls by myself, along with taking a basket of rolls home. :) (Those of you who have been to Texas Roadhouse, understand why!) I bought Jeff a new BYU tie, a belt, and tickets to the new Harry Potter movie. Because it was a school night and we had a ton of school work we decided to wait until the weekend to really celebrate it. On Friday night, I made Jeff dinner, Teriyaki beef strips, and then I took him to go see the new Harry Potter movie. I thought the movie was good and funnier than I thought it was going to be. Jeff just thought it was decent for a Part I movie.

Diana taught several students in ASUU how to do the thriller dance from the original Michael Jackson movie for their Halloween contest. Here is the video (they won first place). Skip to 3:50 seconds to see the dance. Diana is slightly covered, but she is in the front row in the middle behind "Michael."
Last weekend, Jeff and I were invited to a murder mystery dinner at Dan and Jillian's home in Logan. It was a western/pioneer theme (as you can tell from the pictures) and each of us had a character to play. Jeff's name was Elias Truist-Heath (hence, He lies through his teeth) and my name, Elvira-Lynn Fekshin (hence, I infect people.....). Dan was Wyatt Hertz (Why it hurts) and Jillian was Dee Adela Muerte (Dia De La Muerte, a Mexican Widow). There were two other couples there and there character names were, Butch Chastity, Chief Breaking Wind, P'elvis Swagarin, and Helena Handcart. It was tons of fun, despite the pain I was in. I ended up being the killer, which was obvious from the very beginning.
