This long weekend has been absolutely perfect -- exactly what this stressed out, tired soul needed. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for my parents (who conveniently were leaving for Mexico the next day!) & it was so relaxed! So relaxed that mom & I wore nike pants, and after 1 1/2 rounds of eating all four of us were passed out in our living room! Legitimately at one point we were all snoozing & it was awesome.
Next of course Isaac & I were contemplating if we should brave the Black Friday sales or continue our sleeping endeavors. Well, sleep won over and we didn't roll out of our house until about 645am to hit up the first store. And to be honest, that was ideal. Most of the crazies were already home in a coma, and we were able to easily walk thru the stores and find what we wanted/needed.
And after that -- not a whole lot happened! It has been an ideal weekend that is for sure. We even picked up our Christmas trees & are all set to decorate tonight! And were able to enjoy the Oregon State/Oregon "Civil War" game with some friends.
Though tomorrow brings with it a bittersweet realization. Back to work & back to reality. But the sweet part of that realization is that in 3 weeks I will be basking in the beautiful Hawaiian sun & warmth. Though there are spots of tension, it is an incredible blessing to be married to a man from Hawaii - because we have spent the last 3 of 4 Christmases in Hawaii. And let me tell you, it does take some getting used to - but building sand castles & eating kalbi ribs for Christmas dinner does start to grow on you! :)
I hope you've had an enjoyable long weekend as well. Here's the Christmas season -- and the start of Advent today!
