Worst Blogger in History

So I realize that I haven't "blogged" in over a month.

Is it obvious that I'm new at this?

Or is it more obvious that my life doesn't involve anything too exciting?

A little of both I assume.

Well this last month wasn't incredibly boring.

I got to go home to Colorado for 2 weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday!

Sadly, my poor husband was only there for 4 days.

But it was a fantastic 4 days at that.

I arrived in this beautiful state on the 16th of November

without telling my youngest sister...SURPRISE!

I scared the unmentionables out of her

I wish that I would have remembered to take pictures

(another blog fail)

I rang her doorbell and hid behind the wall

(don't forget...they already think this house is haunted)

While she stood there for a good 2-3 minutes debating the venture out the front door

I plotted my ambush, jumped out from behind the wall, and laughed while she transformed from terrified to thrilled.

As expected,

she and I made multiple trips to our favorite local tea shop

(In-Tea)

and we shared a lunch in Fort Collins with Alyssa.

The rest is all quite boring...

A lot of sitting around, visiting with old friends, and shopping of course.

Now Shopping...

Black friday, and the day after was a great success!

Is it sad and possibly proof I'm getting old,

that I am beyond excited about our vacuum purchase?!

We got the Dyson Animal Ball vacuum and now I can't wait to get to Montana just so I can vacuum the already cleaned carpets?

(Once our name makes it down the wait list of course...humbug)

They are looking at a 3 month wait currently

So I check AHRN daily for the possibility of an affordable rental instead.

I'm not even discouraged by this...

We are getting out of my grandparents house

and our "official" married life will have begun.

Back to Thanksgiving weekend...

We also bought a toaster (since we oddly didn't get one for our wedding)

the duvet cover and pillows from potterbarn that I love! (at a 50% discount)

and 50% off soccer ball for me, and football for Ethan.

I'm so excited!!!

Ethan's graduation from tech school is a little over a month away

During the rest of our stay here in California we have a weekend trip to Disneyland planned

And another trip to Colorado planned for Christmas.

This time is going to fly by and I couldn't be happier.

We're also planning on driving the long way to Montana.

Taking time to stop in areas of the States that neither of us have been.

Seattle being the main one.

So wish us luck and I'll try to stay on top of this blog thing a bit more.

We'll make sure to take pictures at Disneyland this weekend :)
