Thankful

It's Thanksgiving! Well, a few days past Thanksgiving actually. I was one of those crazy people who stayed up ALL night to go shopping. It was crazy but I got a lot of my shopping done and saved a bunch of money! I went to Michaels, Toys "R" Us (2 hours spent there), Walmart (5 hours!!!), and then went back that night to Target and Walmart again. It was nuts.

For Thanksgiving we went to my aunt's mother-in-law's house. We do it every year. This year I wanted to make something...different. My mom gave me this cupcake book called "Hello Cupcake" and I decided to try something from there. They are called "Turkey Dinner" cupcakes.

Turkey legs, mashed potatoes, and peas and carrots.

Here are some more pictures from Thanksgiving:











My dad. He didn't want his picture taken.



It has been a hard year for everyone this year and so I think its important to be thankful for what we do have because many families lot everything. In no particular order here are some things I am thankful for this year.

Another month gone by....

So I'm really not all that great at blogging. My last post was over a month ago. To take the time to write about something everyday is really just time consuming and my life is very uneventful. Trust me.

October was filled with subbing jobs. Which was wonderful for my bank account, but hard my housework and new cleaning schedule. Let's just say I have every intention of restarting that. My new goal is to get my house clutter free by the end of the year. I want to get rid of clutter and have a yard sale to make some extra money. Maybe I can get a lot of people involved because I doubt a lot of people would come to a yard sale that was from an apartment garage.

Halloween came and went. Jonathan and I went to a Halloween party at my aunt's house and to the church event that we attend every year. We dressed up as Disney tourists. It was awesome!




I went to Disneyland again with Jill and her family for the day. It was nice being able to have a relaxed trip to my favorite place.






Besides that (and my family trip this past weekend which I will post about later) nothing else has really happened.

I did start my Zumba training last month. That is going pretty well. I like that I have a trainer and that she keeps on my butt. She is supportive but pushes me as well. She's amazing. I haven't lost many pounds but my clothes are fitting a little looser and I feel more in shape. Score!
