Really there's not a whole lot NEW going on with us...just the same ol' stuff- me working my butt off at the hospital and Jordan working too. On the plus side, I only have TWO more weeks of my internship left!!!! I'm just LITTLE excited about it. :) I'm so close to being done I can taste it.
Thanksgiving was fun this year. Since my mom is currently in school as well, she felt a little overwhelmed with planning Thanksgiving this year, so I volunteered to do it at my house as long as I had help with people bringing food too. So we did it at my house this year! It was my first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner. It was really simple, just my immediate family and grandparents. But it was great. I didn't take any pictures, shame on me. But oh well. Next year I will be better about that. I was proud that I successfully made my first turkey. All the food was excellent. And better yet, the left overs lasted us a week, plus some! I froze a bunch of turkey and ham for later use, which I'm very excited about! I love Thanksgiving. We also went to Jordan's side of the family dinner too which was also very yummy. It's always good to see them, even though this year was pretty small on his side too. Just a very chill Thanksgiving holiday this year.
Black Friday was fun. We had no intention of going shopping, but around noon, decided to go out and brave the crowds, just to SEE what was out there. We mostly ended up clothes shopping, but it was fun. Jordan also got glasses! For years now, his sight has been getting worse and worse, finally he decided to go get an eye exam and sure enough, he's near sighted and needs glasses. He can't stand the idea of putting something in his eye, so contacts won't work, so glasses it is until we can afford Lasik! :) He tried on a million frames and finally we found some that look great on him. He's still getting used to wearing them, but thoroughly enjoying seeing clearly again. :) Here's a pic of him in his new glasses!
After shopping we went to eat at Red Robin and then finished the day watching the movie Grown Ups (which wasn't as good as we hoped..too bad). It was a fun day! Saturday we went to a baptism and it was great to see our close friends from CA. We did some more shopping after that, went to see the new Harry Potter (woot!) and then watched the end of the Utah vs. BYU game. That was a crazy close game...but I'm glad we won. Go Utes! :) My parents have season tickets, so they of course were at this game and my dad was all decked out in his Ute stuff. He sent me this picture after the game. Haha! Cracks me up.
Sunday we had a birthday dinner with the family for Brit! Happy birthday Brit! We ate yummy food and played the game Blurt! That game is hilarious. I actually really enjoyed it.
Other than that, I've just been focused on my written assignments and other things I need to accomplish before the next week is up for my internship! Then I'm super super super excited for my family's Christmas plans!! We are going to DISNEYLAND! So excited. I haven't been in years and it's so not cool. I miss it! So me and my family are going to spend Christmas in Disneyland. It's also our way of celebrating that I'm done and my mom only has one semester left of school then she graduates! Lots of very exciting things are about to happen! Can't wait.
Anyway, those are the Tandrian/Holmes updates. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I'm enjoying having my house decorated like Christmas now! I can't wait for Cali!
