Tires, Transfers and Thanksgiving

Once again I have been terrible about posting so there is quite a bit to update everyone on!

First... Brent's parents came to visit in mid November. They were doing a show up in salt lake so that is where we spent most of our time. I love going to the shows. It is so much fun to see all the different booths and to see all of the new products that are coming out (although we can never really afford anything there). If there is one thing that Brent's parents love most it is definitely eating out, which kills the diet I am on! Friday night we went out to outback. I had done my homework and realized I wanted something off the kids menu... THE JOEY BURGER! I had planned out all day that this burger allowed me the right amount of calories and sounded amazing... So when the waiter go to me I turned bright red and sped through

"I know you aren't really allowed to do this but I am on a diet and working really hard and so all I really want is the joey burger off the kids menu. I know I am not young enough but that is just what I want."

Everyone started laughing at me but hey, I GOT MY JOEY BURGER!

Saturday night after the show ended we went out to Bucca de Peppo (a family style Italian restaurant). It is amazing but since I am on a diet I downed about 6 glasses of water. Well it worked perfect! I limited my eating and it worked out great except one hitch! While driving home, and I started to really feel those 6 glasses of water we heard some loud clanks and then realized we had a tire blow out!

Oh did I mention it was snowing too! So in the snow, with my bladder about to explode I "helped" Brent change the tire. I was not a happy camper but the tire got change with no real damage.

Second. I have been transferred. This happened about three weeks ago now but I am now at the Provo branch not at the American Fork. It is about 5 minuted closer to home and closer to BYU so I can visit Brent's school (although I have yet to do this). It is bittersweet because American Fork was my first office.

Finally, thanksgiving. Of course no pictures (I need to get better than that). Once again Brent's Parents came to visit. Maren was in Ogden so I got to see my little nephew and check on the one currently baking. I also got to visit with Kara and Doug in from California. It was fun seeing my family but Mama and Papa Huntley were definitley the main attraction. They had brought out niece Tyler who was so much fun to hang out with all weekend! Brent decided to do a show for his parents and it worked out really well for us! We were able to pay for our Christmas plans/presents!

Just to put any confusion to rest I did not cook. We went to Chuck-a-Rama and it was DELICIOUS!

I really need to start blogging more often! Perhaps that will be my new years resolution. I mean that is coming up pretty quickly!
