We drove to Colorado for Thanksgiving to stay with J's parents for nine whole days! We got to see J's brothers and his sister and her family. It was a really fun time and R had a blast playing with her cousins, the cat (Spanky) and the dog (Alfalfa). She seems to be more of a cat person though, she and the cat were buddies the entire time. I got a great picture of them looking at a book together. J's mom did a great job with the food and tried to make it as healthy but still tasty as she could. I actually lost a pound during Thanksgiving (way weird). We only went to two stores on Black Friday because I hate shopping that day despite the deals. There are just too many pushy people out and it doesn't put me into the Christmas spirit. We only ended up buying J a new cell phone which we got for an amazing deal ($300 phone for $30 after 2 year new phone discount, mail-in rebate and sale price).
Some other news is that before we left on our trip, J took his last CPA exam! Well, hopefully his last one. If he passes it and the one before it, which we haven't received results for yet (after almost two months!) we will be completely done and get a nice bonus from J's work. Cross your fingers for us!
