Thanksgiving weekend and more...

Winter has officially arrived in Ohio

Notice our Christmas decorations

 A few weeks before Thanksgiving Dan received his scores from his GRE test. He ended up scoring above average in every category! I married a smart one :-) Great job hunny!

Thanksgiving weekend was very enjoyable. Especially since we got to spend most of it with my mom. On the way to get her in Cleveland I ran into some serious traffic on the freeway. What should have been a 1 hour trip turned into three:

Bumper to bumper traffic

 Thanksgiving was spent with three other families. 2 of them are in our ward (I've mentioned them previously on the blog). We all contributed food for the dinner and I think everything turned out great! Mom got some great pictures from that evening and I uploaded them to this blog but of course the uploader thingy isn't working properly so I can't post those pictures! Hopefully it'll fix itself soon.

The day after Thanksgiving mom and I drove to Grove City, PA (we are about 20 minutes from Pennsylvania) to a popular outlet mall. It was pretty busy but we found a few good deals on some clothes. Getting a pair of great looking jeans for $15 is unheard of these days but I got some! The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing.

Since Thanksgiving weekend I've finished my first semester at YSU. I did well in both of my classes. Surprisingly, we get 6 weeks off for Christmas break. Isn't that insane??!!! So far I have spent my break hanging out with Dan, reading Harry Potter, watching reruns of the Office, cleaning, cooking, and obsessing over these guys:

The Whiffenpoofs (Yale University)

Tomorrow I'm having my intern friends over for a baking party! Then on Saturday Dan and I are attending our Ward Christmas dinner. Will update on Sunday! Happy holidays and we will see many of you soon!
