leaving on a jet plane...

LB and I are off to Portland, OR to spend Christmas with the Ryder's (my family). We are happily looking forward to Marsha's cooking, movie watching, reading, eating, and shopping. We will be in Portland until January 30th which is just enough time to put on 10lb (lets hope my father and I don't kill each other before the week is up - I have been instructed to be on my best behavior we'll see how it goes).

There maybe posts during the next week but don't hold your breath. However, next week there will be pictures of our "Portland Eating Adventure" so you will want to check back.

With that, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas

with the ones you love!

So...

I am So in Love with this Guy!

Good Saturday.

So on Saturday I decided the day was all about me and that LB had to go along for the ride. We started with lunch at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. They have the best burgers because you can put any thing on them you want at no extra cost but their Fries are to die for!

This is a small fry. Can you say 2000 calories?

After we got our fill of fries, I made LB go Bra Shopping with me. At first he was really excited about Bra shopping until he realized there was not going to be as much "hands on" experience as he had thought. Bra shopping went well and the "girls" are looking good!

We then went to the Festival of Trees, which is a fund raising event for Primary Children's Medical Center (which is were our church calling is at);

It was great fun and for our favorite cause.

This tree was made by our friends John and Katie Warner that serve with us at Primary Children's Medical Center (they also had help from the Mining Dept at the U).

Their tree was amazing and was purchased by one of the companies that donated money to help decorate it, cool eh?

This is the cowgirl tree that I fell in love with, unfortunately I did not have $5,000 on me, oh and someone had all ready bought it! But someday, post law school, the Festival of Trees is going to love me!

After the festival we went to see the movie Four Christmases.

The movie was very funny and it made me seriously contemplate going on vacation for Christmas instead of the family stuff - sorry mom no offence!

Watch This and Think!

Sorry...

I know it is time for the "Thanksgiving Vacation" post but I am in a funk after the 4 day weekend so it maybe a day or two before I get up the energy/desire to post pictures and info. Anyway, I hope your Thanksgiving was lovely.
