Thanksgiving

I got to go home for Thanksgiving this year!  I got to fly down there so I wouldn't have to do the drive myself since Billy was gone.  I got to be there Tuesday night through Saturday night.  It was such a fun week!

Tuesday when I got there we just played a game as a family which was super fun.  Wednesday my mom and I went for a run and then we did some shopping woop!  Wednesday night my parents treated us all to Island's for dinner!  Yummmmm but apparently I missed the best part since I didn't order a dessert that is the best thing on earth, according to Jody.  So I guess we'll have to go back ;)

Cody was really good at taking the selfie...not

I have like 12 of these on my phone

Amazing

Got one!  Jayce cracks me up with that beast hat.  And dad with his little dish.  hahaha

 Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We went for a turkey trot in the morning which was a walk to Canyonside park and a run back through the canyon, then we got ready and made food/watched football.  I read a little bit.  We went over the Haws' for dinner.  I don't have any pictures, but it was a fun day!

Friday Mom and I ran 6 miles!  Then I got ready and went out to lunch with Jen!  It was so fun!  We ate at this place on the beach in Solana Beach called Las Olas and it was really good and fun.  It was great catching up with her.  Her mom took a picture of us so I need to get that from her.  Jen is preggers so it was fun to hear about all that and potential names, etc. as well as just catch up on her life!  We are really funny because we never talk to each other really but we always get together when we're home and it's always a good time.  Love having a good friend like that!

Did a little shopping in the afternoon/evening then watched a movie at night.  Saturday my mom and I went and did yoga on the beach in Pacific Beach!  It was so cool, and surprisingly difficult.  I got a good workout!  It's a free class that happens every Saturday and Sunday.  It was way fun.  We went for smoothies and bagels afterwards.

Our view...wish we were in front

LOVE THIS PLACE

After yoga I got packed up and ready to go and we had to go to the airport pretty soon after that.  We brought Penny in the car to the airport and Cody kept saying "Why did we bring her again?" because she was being really whiny and hilarious.

CODY LOVES PENNY

She's skiing on his hands

Once I got back into town I grabbed a couple things out of my suitcase, left the rest and drove down to Queen Creek at like 9:30 at night!  Jenny was there with her kids and they were still up so it was super fun to see them!  I spent the night on the couch and hung out there the next day basically eating and chatting the whole day which was so fun.  Billy got home that evening so I drove to the airport around 7 and picked him up!  It was such a fun reunion!  I wanted to take a picture of him walking down the ramp but I was totally distracted obviously so I didn't.  It was weird being back together, like he had never been gone but also it felt like I hadn't seen him in like a year.  Weird.  It is so nice having him back though!

What a fun Thanksgiving!  Now I just CAN NOT wait for Christmas to get here!  Only 7 more school days until Christmas break!

OH and some exciting news, Billy interviewed for a part time teaching job at my school (teaching AP Psychology) and today he got it!  So he'll be doing lots and lots of driving next semester and be super duper busy but it will be fun having him share my teaching world with me.  He is excited and I think my boss really liked him (who wouldn't?) so I'm excited about it.  Billy is also prepping his final semester at Thunderbird and figuring out his last classes ever!  It is so exciting to think about where we will be next year, but also kind of sad.  We really love this area and this ward, really everything about it, so I'll be really sad to leave it.  Maybe he'll try to get a job here, who knows.  Exciting times ahead!
