This thanksgiving was my very first thanksgiving away from my family. I have to admit I seriously thought it was going to be really hard and I would want to cry the whole weekend but I didn't I was a big girl and I actually had a lot of fun. I had school on Wednesday so we had to leave thanksgiving morning. After a three or four hour drive (i don't reallly know how long it is cause i normally sleep) we got to Jeff's family house and that night had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner!
That night Jeff and I (and when I say Jeff and I, I mean I) decided it would be fun to go do some black friday shopping. I had never really been before, at least not that I ever remember so I was really excited. We drove up to Jordan landing and I waited out side old navy for an hour in the FREEZING cold, while Jeff went to the gas station to get me some hot cocoa and then to walmart to buy me a cheap blanket because I forgot mine and was dying!!! After he brought me my stuff he headed over to wait in line at Aeropostal.
There was at least 500 other people waiting in line with me at Old Navy! It was CRAZY!!! I was only there to buy Jeff and I some p.j. pants for christmas eve.
(growing up we always got to open one gift on christmas eve before we went to bed.. and it was always p.j.'s. I loved this and so Jeff and I decided to carry on the trdition)
The pants went like crazy! I couldn't even believe how many people were smashed in that store!! After I found the pants I wanted I ended up waiting in line for at least a good hour!! While in line I made some friends, a cute couple from logan. They kept me company until the store people let Jeff into the store. (they had reached the max. amount of how many people they could have in the store at once!)
After that long wait we headed over to walmart but it was so crazy we decided it was not worth the one 4 dollar game we wanted. So at three in the morning we decided to grab some food. We went to Ranchero's my favorite place to eat in salt lake!! After that we headed over to staples but they didn't open until 6 so we spent some time walking around the south town mall and found some really good deals!
Then at 5 we headed over to staples and I ended up standing in line again (alone) while Jeff when over to bed, bath and beyond to buy something for our t.v. but it turns out they didn't have it. When staples opened Jeff got really into the whole black friday shopping and when running through the store to find what we needed. It was a reallly funny thing to see.
After that we were both extremly tired and so we decided to head home and call it good. we got home around 7:30 and both passed out. All I can say is that I had a BLAST with my hubby and am SO glad that all our christmas shopping is done for this year!!
The next day we got to go up to provo and hang out with my little sister noel :) we got pizza for lunch and then went to the mall together. it's always fun to see her, i'm so glad she's in utah again!!

On sunday Jeff and I headed back to good old Cedar city, the weather was CRAZY BAD!! It took us about 5 and 1/2 hours. most of our extra time was spend just sitting in some really bad traffic. But while we were sitting there I got to take a picture of me standing in the middle of i-15!! How many people actally have a picture like that???
These pictures don't even show you how Bad it actaully was!!
There was five cars that had slid of in the same area!!
Black friday shopping!! So early!!
You guys are so cute! I could never convince Mitch to come Black Friday shopping with me haha :) I always go with my mom/aunt/sisters/cousins though so we have a blast! It's awesome huh? This year we were at the mall too! It was nuts. They had great deals!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you on the freeway. I don't have one that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteA couple of comments... first of all, you're supposed to say that you missed your family so much that you cried the entire time! Second, I do not like that picture of you standing in back of a semi on I-15. That bothers me. Get back in the car where it's warm and safe.
