Thanksgiving part 2

Here's just a few more pictures from Thanksgiving. We will be heading down to Utah this Saturday and we'll have a ton more pictures then...we are kinda boring right now. OH! actually I have a story about last night...I had just gotten home from achievement days and as I pulled in I saw some guys forcing my neighbor into a truck, I waited for a minute and they had thrown him on the ground, so me being the big buff person I am :) I walked over and started yelling at them to stop, ya not very smart! But anyways they said they were his cousins and thats what cousins do and even my neighbor finally said he was ok, so I started walking away and heard him moan and one of the boys said "oh no he's bleeding, its not worth it" so I told them I was calling the cops, I called 911 and as soon as I did that they all left and my neighbor went inside and said thanks...kinda weird eh? About an hour later I headed back to the church for tithing settlement and saw my neighbors twin brothers and started talking to them, they said their cousin was trying to get their brother to come to young mens and thats why they were beating him up. The cousin was at the church too, he came up to me and apologized and felt like a total idiot! HAHA so did I, but at least I know my neighborhood is kinda safe, the only thing I have to worry about is STUPID BOYS!!!

Thanksgiving at the Sorensen's

This Thanksgiving we were planning on going down to Utah to celebrate it with my family, I was already going to be down there for the Celine Dion concert with Mallory but it got postponed :( so we decided we would both rather go down to Utah for Christmas since Mikey has never seen Temple Square with all the Christmas lights!! And Im sooo excited to see my Hunter and Tanner open all their gifts! So anyways we went down to Mikey's parents for a week, and we had a blast! Other than me being sick the first 3 days! Mikey went to the bishops storehouse and got some food storage done for us, Joann and I went shopping for Thanksgiving and got me some fabric so I could make another fleece blanket ( I think I'm addicted now) Mikey and his dad did a whole bunch of work around the house and got a whole lot done! Steve is going to do ortholastics (sp?) on me so I can finally get rid of my vampire fangs so we went to his old office and got that all taken care of. Wednesday we headed over to Mikey's grandparents house to help them bring their Christmas boxes down the stairs, we got to visit for a while with them and had a blast! Gram even made us some awesome soup!! Then Thanksgiving came, we had about 25 people come over, had a fabulous lunch and had a great time! Friday after we tried to go to Joanne's fabric for some more fleece and decided it wasnt worth waiting in line for like 3 hours!!! crazy! We also went and cut our very own Christmas tree!! it was sooo fun!


Yep he's making me do the hard work :)

Vegas!!

This last week we got to go to Vegas for Mikey's customer appreciation. We left early wednesday morning and came back late Friday night. While we were there they went golfing while I drove the cart (I didnt drive it into the water like the rest of my family like to haha ERIC!) They even let me hit a few balls! It was a gorgeous course surrounded my HUGE homes overlooking the Vegas Strip. We ate lunch at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville haha!! so weird! We also got to walk down the strip a little bit on Friday, and it reminded us both why we hate going to Vegas! But we had a great time and really didnt want to come back to the freezing weather but its good to be home

Best husband EVER continued

YAY!! Mikey made it home!! Safe and sound! He had a GREAT time with all his brothers and dad! But I think I had an even better time looking for all my surprises! The first day was the hot cocoa day, 2nd day the note was hidden in my little "girl" box and it was filled with Hershey Kisses, the note told me to eat a kiss everytime I start missing him...yep they were ALL gone by the end of the day :) 3rd day was hidden in the middle of our food storage, which is basically just piled on the floor of our extra room, it had a note and a bunch of Hershey Hugs!! YUMMY!! the note said everytime I need a hug eat one...same as the kisses gone by the end of the day! 4th day was hidden under our bed, just a note this time but in the note he told me to go to any store I wanted and buy myself a new bra (he hates my Target ones) and some new undies,sorry if thats too much info! and not to worry about the price! So of course I went to Victoria's Secret...spent 90 bucks there!! woo!! 5th day was hidden in our crock pot, a note and a FULL bag of kisses and hugs!! I needed those that day! The last day the note was hidden in his toiletry bag, or as my mom says toilet-flower bag, haha get it? What a weirdo! anyways it was a note saying he was excited to see me and a 3 pack of gum! yay!! All his little surprises made it so much easier for me to be home alone for 5 whole days!! I am soo glad he is home!
