oh hey

This Thanksgiving was amazing to say the least!!

I wish I could upload some pictures of my adorable nephew and fun times with the family but my Laptop is officially broken and not fixable. Well I mean it is... but for 400 dollars. Yuck

Josh, my amazing brother-in-law, spent about a day taking it apart and figuring out what was wrong. I felt bad that he spent so much time on it but he said that it was fun! Ha, I guess we all have different versions of 'fun' and fun for him is taking apart computers... awesome!

Anyway, he got to the motherboard 

(which is like the brain of the computer... he had to tell me that, I had no idea!) 

and he said that part of it melted...

GREAT. 

So I would have to replace that, but it is expensive so I will just have to buy a new laptop... Awesome... 

good thing I am loaded... Not... 

But I really am super grateful that my parents taught me how to save money back in high school so that I can buy a new one! They really are the best.

Now I just need a job, because my bank account is taking a huge hit from all this tuition and housing business...

But now for some Thanksgiving Highlights

1. FOOD. and good food. Man I sure miss my moms cooking.

2. Family. I miss my family. And my dog. And mostly my family. So it was so good to see everyone and Grandma Schlappi came down and so did the Worthingtons! I am so glad. I love Aunt Coco, and Kyla, and Kamryn. And Coley. Okay... I just love them ALL! Really. It was so fun to be with them all week!

3. Black Friday Shopping - I have never been a huge shopper and especially not on Black Friday. But this time we went and although I didnt get a million things... (which is good because I need a new laptop now) I did splurge on an item that was a great deal though. And I am happy with my purchase. But it will reamain a secret so that I won't get crap from my brothers and Dad. But my mom told me to so I did!! Haha...We shopped at Chandler Mall from Midnight until 6 AM. I have never been so tired! Then at 11 AM good ol' Kyla comes in and says "Alright! Time to go to Target!!" Um, hi! I have only slept for 5 hours... Not enough sleep... But, I went anyway. And it was fun. The whole Black Friday Shopping excursion was just fun and we made some great memories. I loved it.

4. Sharing a bed with Nate dawg and Travis. Alright for some people they think that sisters and brothers should not share a bed and that it is weird, but hey, I don't. Thats how I grew up! When it was just me and Nate in the house half the time he slept in my bed anyway and we would stay up late talking or watching movies on the laptop. Those were some good times. Anyway, it was quite the experience to share a bed with 2 of my brothers. With Travis hogging the covers, Nate kicking all night, and me almost falling off the bed lets just say I didn't really get a lot of sleep. Ever.

5. Seeing Spencer and Andy. I miss those 2 boys. We hung out Friday night? Yeah, and played lots of poison, or squash... some people call it different things... around the pool table for hours and then caught up. It was great. But time flies when you are having good conversation and I ended up leaving at around 4:20 am. I know, I am such a partier... ha, but really I was shocked that it was that late and that I was even still awake because of the fact that I went to bed at 6 AM the previous morning!! Lets just say my body clock is still a little off

6. Getting stuck in Cedar City. Yeah it snowed, and it stormed, and there was A LOT of traffic and it took us foreverrrrr. But we made it home safe and sound :)

Anyway, My thanksgiving was great and I can't wait for next year! I love Holidays centered around food :)

AND 3 weeks until I get to go home for CHRISTMAS!!!! :)
