SO, it has been a crazy past few weeks. I have had a great month of November. Work has been great, diet has gone well (20 pounds and in second or first place in the competition!), and been really busy! Thanksgiving was great with just Mom, Dad, and I enjoying each other's company. Mom had fallen and hurt her knee a few days before Thanksgiving, so all of our plans changed abruptly. We went from being on the go every second to just relaxing and taking care of mom!

Last minute, I decided to do some Black Friday shopping with friends. It was hilarious to watch people who were so intense in buying things! We began our night at 10:30 and our first stop was Starbucks for coffee. Well, Starbucks didn't get the memo that they should be open then on Thanksgiving for the start of Black Friday. So, this began our adventure to McDonald's where everyone else who wanted Starbucks went. 30 minutes in the drive thru line, almost leaving my friend Jessica at the McDonald's because I forgot to get the change, and two cups of coffee later, we were on our way to Calhoun Outlets. Mrs. Seehorn, Brady, Jessica, and Andrew and I were ready for the mayhem! We had a blast there and finished all the stores with not too many purchases. It was around 2:30 am by then and we headed towards Chattanooga. We hit up Chick-fil-a for an early morning breakfast and went to Toys-R-Us and the mall. It was all around a good time. We returned home that morning around 7 am. Exhausting but great! Dad left Sunday AM for China and I decided to take a few days to help mom out. I, also, got to have my traditional date day with Avery Carr and make an amazing Gingerbread house!

Mom came home with me for the week. It was good spending time with her. I took her home this past Saturday and on the way home found out I got to go to the SEC championship! I LOVE where I work! I just had mentioned that I would be going through Atlanta Saturday and they hooked me up! It was so much fun to watch the game. I had my first SEC game period this year, then this....a blast!
