Last Christmas Dan's Dad partially paid us for some CostCo groceries with two $10 Borders gift cards. Dan used his right away, I just used mine today. I decided to purchase the book, "The Love Dare" from the creators/church that made the movie 'Fireproof' It is a 40 day challenge for married couples. I am going to start tomorrow - we'll see how it goes!
November went by real fast! We had 3 weddings - which ALL had beautiful weather and we are just SO thrilled with how the pictures turned out!
We got our new album a week or so back, and we will be getting our other album tomorrow!
January 10th {a Sunday} we will be vendors at 'The Bridal Party' a wedding/bridal expo put on by Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine Weddings. We are really excited for what is in store there!
In more recent news, we had a long Thanksgiving break.... Wednesday I spent shopping for food and making the greenbean casserole and blueberry pie for the Mayo side fo the family Thanksgiving. I thought I royally messed it up and didn't want to bring a failure pie for my first year bringing one, so I woke up at 6am the next morning and made another and started the GBCasserole in the Slow Cooker... {which by the way, the first pie I made was fabulous - according to Dan and my parents and the other pie that I ended up bringing to eh Mayo Thanksgiving was AWFUL.... really....} Thanksgiving day we celebrated Thanksgiving last Thursday first with my mom and dad and mom's parents at Perkins down in Bloomington. From there all four of us {the dogs, Dan and I} went to Durand for the Mayo Turkey Bowl and dinner : ) Right after we had pie we found that Moses/Maizy chewed through a bottle of Pamprin {Tylenol} and ate anywhere from 10-20 pills..... So after consulting with an ER vet in Eau Claire via phone, we drove home and did so more research and brought them in to the Animal ER at midnight. We didn't know how ate the meds and it was too late to induce vomiting, so we had to treat them both. Meaning, the spen the rest of the night/early morning at the ER vet. We picked them up at 7:30am and brought them to our regular vet where they continued the IV treatments until 6pm. We picked them up and thankfully were able to bring them home!!
In that mean time {Friday during the day} mom and I went to CostCo, Trader Joes {new one in Minnetonka!!} and Victoria's Secret - with me not fully realizing it was "THE" day after Thanksgiving..... but - I got some amazing deals at Victoria's Secret. As you may or may not know/remember the dogs ate two of my {pretty new} bras on my birthday - so I went to replace those. I had a coupon, plus the bras were buy one get one 50% off and I got a free tote with a free body spray, a lip gloss and perfume in it!! OH! AND I got 8 big bottles of VS lotion - ALL for $79! It was all worth over $230 retail! Pretty exciting : ) And the lotions will make for good little extra Christmas presents for people! While mom and I did that, the boys {Dan and Dad} continued/finished painting the kitchen : ) What nice husbands we have! We did take a break to go to the Thai/Asian cuisine restaurant just up Texas - It was pretty good!
Anyways, back to the dogs..... At 6 ish we brought them home after I was totally freaked out when I walked into the appointment room to find two HUGE siringes! Luckily it was to just extract the meds from the IV bag to squirt over their foods. But we had to do feedings every six hours, so midnight that night, then again at 6am, then noon, then 6pm, then midnight again, 6am, noon, 6pm, then we were done on Sunday evening - whew!
All that being said - it was a VERY draining weekend, not much of a break. I am still exhausted!
I am off to finish laundry, vacuum and clean our room/upstairs too : )
Have a great night! I pray you all had wonderful Thanksgivings!
