6 Months later: November

Alright, so I decided to make November and December separate blogs, because i saw how huge the other two looks, plus i remember more in Dec since its the most recent. So decided two would be better. Haha it would look less daunting.  November is quite the exciting month because Nick and I's anniversary is in it, as well as my awesome birthday. lol.  Nov. 10 was our 1 year anniversary! I cannot believe that one year has gone by already! It went by so quickly! After work we went to dinner at Goodwood to celebrate at I gave Nick his gift. He couldn't give me mine yet because the place he got it from messed up the order so it was delayed. I got him 3 videos that are some of his top favorites: Hercules, The fox and the hound, and Prince of Egypt. I was so excited to give them to him and he loved them. :) Mine turned out to be a quilt you can have made at Walmart using pictures from vacations and stuff. It is so cool!
  On Nov. 11 we got to go to a friend's wedding reception (Jenny and Adam) who got married 11-11-11, which was pretty cool. It was a really nice reception and fun to see them and other friends we knew there. Then on Nov. 12 Nick and I got to go to the U of U vs. UCLA game, with my grandpa and aunt Chrissy. It was such a blast! We got to use my parent's box seats, so we had a nice meal before the game started and hot chocolate and pop corn and such, to eat during the game. It was definitely cold, but it was so much fun! :D Earlier that day I also got to hang out with my friend Jess at her daughter's b.day party. She was turning 3 on the 14th. Holy Cow, its so weird she is that big already! It was quite a full and fun fill weekend that week. lol.
  On Nov. 20 we had an early Thanksgiving dinner at my Grandpa Petersen's, which was fun, because we then got to see that side of the family this year for Thanksgiving.  It was a really nice dinner and it was really nice seeing my Grandparent's, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Nick had a real good time talking to my uncle Pete and cousin Tat's husband Jeff about hunting. Haha I thought he'd never come join me at the table to eat. ;)  Nov. 24 was of course Thanksgiving day itself. Nick and I spent most of the day with his family this year. It started at 1 so we showed up around 11 to help get everything ready. We were in charge of bringing the soda and ice cream for the fancy drink. It was a really nice get together and we stayed til around 4.30, when we found out my family's Thanksgiving at my Aunt Chrissy's had pretty much just started with the main food, so we decided to go down and say hi for a bit. We got there around 5ish and stayed for a few hours. It was fun getting to see her new house. You see, my aunt chrissy and her family just moved back to Utah from Arizona after like 15 years. We had a really nice time and I was glad we were able to do both. It worked out perfectly.
  Nov. 29 was my 24th birthday. I had to work unfortunately, so for most of the day it wasn't to exciting, but when i got home from work around 8.30, I found Nick had a very fancy dinner waiting for me. It was so sweet! He had even bought little individual packets of dip-in-dots so that we had dessert. It was so cute! I have such a sweet thoughtful hubby! :) After we ate he gave me present and was so excited for me to open it. lol. Turned out he had bought me...a NOOK!! I was so surprised! I had no idea he was planning that at all, plus i had always joked i would only ever love real books, so i never thought I'd get an e-reader. He got me the newest one too. the Nook Tablet, with all the bells and whistles. And, after having it a month now, I can say, it has won me over. Haha don't tell real books i said that! ;D I still like the feeling of holding a real book in my hand, but being able to carry multiple books with me and go online at the same time, all while having it fit nicely in my purse, is really really nice. I am definitely glad i have one now. lol. I can still even rent books from the library on it. So cool! I have definitely been converted. haha...
 So that is the exciting month of November! I hope you enjoyed reading it and I will try to do December asap as well as get pictures up in each blog as well that goes with some of the stories, so there is something to look at besides all these words you have to read. lol. Ttfn! (Ta Ta For Now!)
