Giving Thanks

Dan and I were so lucky to be able to go down to Utah for Thanksgiving. We didn't think we'd be able to make it with his work load and the weather. The weather decided to cooperate just enough for us to make it, but still put us through hours of snow torture going 30 mph. 


It was so good to see most of our friends and family. Its amazing how much four months can make you miss people. Some of the trips highlights ...


Surprising both of Dan's parent's who didn't know we were coming. I think we were close to giving JoAnn a heart attack.


Getting a rock stuck in my breaks - Dan had to pull my wheel off and fish it out.. but the repair was minor compared to the worrying it caused me.


Sushi with my bff... SO GOOD...









...ALMOST as good as Thanksgiving dinner. The best food ever! I will never be able to live up to this level of cooking in my life time, and I am okay with that because I get to eat it while it lasts.


Unfortunately no food can live up to the satisfaction that comes from spending time with our families. I love all of them - especially my niece who decided to climb on the table and rock out for us!





All in all it was the best time I've had in a long time.. I am so glad we were able to come and make it there and back safe.


<Insert one complaint here. Idaho does NOT know how to take care of their roads. Their idea of plowing is to throw rocks down on the ice. Not the best method I've ever seen - my car's paint dents can attest to this.>

Look who was ahead of the times..

So everyone is talking about how Prince William purposed to his fiance with his mother's sapphire engagement ring.  When Princess Diana picked the sapphire ring, sales of sapphires skyrocketed. Now that the ring is back in the spotlight, many think sapphires will come "back in style"






UM ... HELLO!


Sapphires have always been beautiful! That is why I picked an ice-blue sapphire for my ring. Look who was ahead of the times... 


haha

I was right!

Yesterday right after I blogged about breaking the knife this happened...





I cracked the joint in my lemon squeezer and it broke off :( 


Luckily, I can try to exchange this one at Bed Bath and Beyond. 


I still can't believe all of this is happening. I must be REAL strong.
