My break started on Tuesday with a predicted blizzard. My principal sent us all home as soon as the kids left. I planned on staying to get some stuff done so I wouldn't have to over the rest of the break, but I left not wanting to get snowed in. Later in the evening, I regretted my decision of leaving as my roommate and I made fun of our "blizzard." It flurried a little...not even enough to stick to the ground. But let me tell you, the stores were crazy. It was like the world was coming to an end.
Wednesday was pretty relaxing. I slept in until 8. Cleaned my apartment. Watched Aspen. Planned a little for the following week. Then went over and helped Bradford prepare his turkey to be fried the next day. While I was over there, I got to see what his new house will look like and their lot. Then I don't really remember what I did the rest of the day. I just know it was the longest day of my life because I didn't have work to keep me busy and Travis wasn't getting here until late that night. Finally I went and picked him up at the airport. His flight was delayed so he didn't land until about 12:00. We stayed with his brother for a couple days in Farmington.
On Thursday I slept in again. After getting ready, we left to drive to Logan to have Thanksgiving dinner with his Dad's side of the family. They actually got some snow there and it was freezing. Dinner was good, but nothing compared to good ole Southern Thanksgiving dinners. I missed my fried turkey, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese and pecan pie. They did have cute little turkey favors that they made for everyone. After lunch, we went and saw Travis' dad's grave. It was pretty cool because he doesn't get to see it very often. That evening we went back to Devin and Kati's house. We watched Toy Story 3 and had dessert.
On Friday, we went shopping. This is the first time that I have ever gone shopping on Black Friday. It was crazy! We got up at our own leisure and didn't even get to the store until 11ish. Travis even took the time to play a game of ping pong with Devin. I couldn't believe how many people were there. I ended up buying a camera! I have been wanting one for a long time and I was given some money as a graduation gift to buy a camera, and I finally got around to doing it! I am really excited about it! It was a hard decision and it took me about an hour to decide even though I had done lots of research prior to going. Since I got a camera, of course we had to take some picture! By the time we finished shopping, ate dinner and charged my battery, it was too late to take pictures outside so we decided to go on a carriage ride to look at some lights at Thanksgiving Point instead. We got lucky because we missed the big group ride so we got our own little carriage. It was freezing, but I had a lot of fun. It was my first carriage ride ever!

On Saturday, we finally got some pictures! Travis and I drove up the canyon to find a pretty spot. Unfortunately there was no snow, but we still got some fun pictures. Travis is a good sport to let me take pictures of him and to take some of me.
I voted this as the most artistic picture of the day.

A bunch of Travis' friends came over to see him. After, a bunch of us went to the mall and the out to eat. (I feel like all we did was eat while he was here) It was exactly a year ago that Travis, Jeff, Caleb and I went to eat at Applebee's. It was a memorable night. We have decided to make it a tradition to go out to eat every year on that day. Then Travis and I left to go watch Tangled. He thinks that Rapunzel looks like me. It was pretty cute.

It started snowing Saturday night and I was praying for a real blizzard so Travis' flight would be delayed, but sadly it didn't. I took him to the airport at 5am. It was a sad parting, but it is only 3 more weeks until I see him again.I will have to save another post to tell you about my drive home from the airport in the snow/ice. It was pretty exciting, so you will have to be on the lookout for it.
