Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!

Man has it been busy! We’ve been so busy with work that we haven’t been doing too much on the weekends worth talking about.

Last weekend we cleaned house and I raked the yard. Our yard really isn’t very big, but we have the two trees that are supplying the whole neighborhood with little brown leaves. We had so many leaves, I swear I think our neighbors are raking theirs up and dumping them back in our yard. It only took me 30 minutes to rake, but then it took us two hours to bag them up. We ended up with 13 big garbage bags full! I’ve never seen so many leaves in such a small space!


On Thursday we went to my co-worker, Jean’s house for Thanksgiving. Everything was sooooo good! She made one of the prettiest and juiciest turkeys I have ever seen. We had such a great time. Plus, the Cowboys won their game!

Friday we did a little bit of shopping and then put up the Christmas tree. We even have presents underneath!


The long weekend was great because it gave us a chance to relax and catch up on our movie-watching. On DVD we watched the Golden Compass, Southland Tales, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (Bond), Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, and P.S. I Love You.

We also went to the theater and saw Australia, which was fantastic! It was such a good movie. It had action, romance, was shot beautifully and the actors were great. Plus, it showed Hugh Jackman with his shirt off. What more could you ask for?

Last night, Garrett got to shoot his first music video. He was so excited! The shoot went really well.

I was on dog duty for the evening, which didn’t go so well. Willow didn’t move when I got home, even when I was yelling for her. I had to get down on my hands and knees and poke her. She finally woke up after I had a mild panic attack. By that time Rowdy was so hyper he ate his dinner and then stuck his head in between the couch cushions to throw it up. That was my night…

Well, so long for now! Only 18 more days until we’re back in PC for Christmas!!

Love,

Michaela
