Okay... So I skipped a few days...

I've been busy, not so busy I couldn't have blogged, but busy. So, I didn't blog. End of story. No real excuses as I did say I could have blogged, I just chose not to. I'm tired, alright?

We went to Dave's grandma A's house for Thanksgiving, and it was enjoyable. His uncle made this to die for turkey, seriously, I loved it. It was a dutch oven turkey and if you've never had a turkey cooked in a dutch oven, you are missing out. They are delicious and moist and super flavorful! It could have helped that Kori brined the turkey for two whole days! Yum! I am drooling thinking about it...

We had WAY more pie than got eaten, Dave and I came home with two and a half pies to ourselves, and we only took two! A whole apple pie (which is my favorite and I love!), a chocolate pudding pie (almost Dave's favorite) and part of a blackberry cheese pie that Savannah loves, or at least I think she loves, because I say she does, and I'm the mom and right now I know best, right?

Today I went black friday shopping, sort of. I didn't buy anything, just went to the store. We may end up going to Sears tomorrow, but it hasn't been decided on.

So for the past few days, I am thankful for new shoes! I tore a hole in my only pair of sneakers the other day at my mom's house when I tripped over a stake in her yard, so Dave and I went to famous footwear the other day and I got a new pair of sneakers and he got some new dress shoes. I love that they were doing a buy one get one half off AND I had a 20% off coupon to use in addition to that. Stacking deals rocks!

I am thankful for good food, and good family to share it with. Yesterday was a day that seemed REALLY long, but I am glad that I have family surrounding us so we would never have to be alone on Thanksgiving, and I'm grateful that I only had to cook pies, because that makes for a much less stressful Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for unexpected good news, which at this point shall remain untold. I love when something that seems like a bad thing turns into a positive thing. I am grateful that so often when I feel discouraged something happens and changes my whole outlook on life.

Does that catch me all up? If not, oh well. At least blogging is still happening somewhat regularly...
