Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today I was woken up very early with a call from Kansas. Kristin had just been told that her grandmother had passed away. It is a great thing to live, but to live a life that means something to every one you meet is an even greater thing. I know that I didn't know Lola for very long but I know that she was a great woman and that she touched many many people. I was glad to know her and can't wait to see her again some day. Bye for now.
Kristin went back to sleep but I was unable to. I lay in bed for two hours before I decided to get up at around 6:30 in the A. M. That is really pretty early for me especially when I know that I will have to go to work at twelve that night. Well I was up so I picked up the house a bit and took a shower. After getting ready to go, I had to make sure that I was looking "so good" for Justin's family tonight, I headed out to Justin and Stephanie's house. The four of us were going to go see the New Harry Potter movie. I arrived at their house and we started watching a movie I'll not name just in case you guys think you might want to watch it, you shouldn't, and therefore I wont name it... but I'll tell you that forever I am scarred and Justin never gets to pick movies on holidays again, maybe never.
We left the house and I was suddenly taken back to the days when I was the new kid in town. I rode in the back of the car and I was going to a place that I'd never been before. I had never been to eat a meal while watching a movie. (My house doesn't count.) So we went to the movie tavern. The place was pretty cool and they had pretty good food too. The movie on the other hand was a real treat. I have always loved the Harry Potter movies but I think that this one was set higher on the bar. Though I have to agree with my dad that this wasn't really a full movie, more like a half movie... now we have to wait for the other half.
After the movie we went and hung out at the Deli house before we left for Justin's moms. Now I won't say that I have ever seen this before but Justin's family does some really fun stuff for their holiday. They dress up as something and then have a contest to see who has the best costume and who has the most creative costume. Justin and Stephanie went as a s'more. And for those of you who were staring at the picture just a few seconds too long yes those are tights that he is wearing... poor poor guy.
Either way the dinner was fun but it ran late and so Justin and I only got about 45 min of sleep if that much. We were quickly up and ready to head to work leaving the house and all our sleeping measures behind us. He and I drove in the dark, watching Christmas lights(ooooo wowie how pretty), until we were nearly to work. Just before we got there I got a text message saying that things were crazy. We pulled into the parking lot and there we saw that it was already full of cars. Walking in quickly we were ready for destruction.....
Kristin's day was pretty good considering. She went over to my grandma's and my parents were able to meet Sawyer. They think 'he's pretty cool' and I think he thinks the same for them. I have picture for all of these people but I couldn't put them all up on one day so they'll be spread out from time to time. For now I'll go.. night.
