Pros of having Thanksgiving in San Diego:
I was able to sleep in and cook in my pajamas.

Cons of having Thanksgiving in San Diego:
We miss our family. It would have been so nice to be with everyone.

Here are some pictures of our lovely dinner.

This is the worst picture EVER but Dave and I laughed so hard when we saw it that I had to put it up. It's horrible. I hope it makes you laugh just as hard as we did.

First time using the china.

One more picture before we dig in.

Dessert. YUM!!!

Tag

Tag I'm it, (Thanks Meg!). Here are 6 random facts about me.

1. I have a lot of random irrational fears. I'm still afraid of the dark. I've been afraid of the dark ever since I was a little girl. I handle it much better now though. I always make Dave wait until I'm already in bed before he can turn the lights off. If I am alone I always have a light on. I'm also afraid of people being in the shower when I go into a restroom. I won't close the door until I do a shower check to make sure I'm absolutely alone.

2. The first movie that ever made me cry was Follow That Bird. It's a Sesame Street movie that came out in 1985 where Big Bird gets kidnapped by scam artists. They paint him blue and make him perform in a carnival. It really upset me to see Big Bird painted blue, sitting in a cage crying and singing. Apparently I was inconsolable.

3. I had the same the same photography teacher in high school as my dad, mom and brother. We all went to Kearns High School. (Dad - Class of 1977. Mom - Class of 1979. Jarid - Class of 1997. Me - Class of 2000.) Mr. Tatton was our photography teacher. It was one of my favorite classes.

4. My best friend Deryk and I had an imaginary restaurant/company when we were in elementary school. It was called S & D Incorporated. We ran it out of my parents' trailer and we served Tang with giant spoons. It's such a funny memory.

5. I absolutely LOVE music! When I'm alone in the car I play music as loud as possible and I completely rock out. I wish that I had some kind of musical talent. I would love to be able to play acoustic guitar or piano.

6. I was born with sky blue eyes. They started to change color when I was around 3 and are now green.

Time to get in shape!

I met with a personal trainer a couple of days ago for a fitness assessment and again today for a work out. It was tough!! Actually working out at the rate I am supposed to be working out left me out of breath and drenched in sweat. I'm excited to get back into shape and will hopefully be at my goal come next summer. Wish me luck!
