Thanksgiving weekend

The weekend of Thanksgiving was extra fun because Brian and I got a whole 4 days together off of work. We had all sorts of fun plans! On Friday we got up early for Brian to get in line for a Black Friday deal on a new pistol, and so Friday was an early, yet successful, morning!

On Saturday, I found this Ski swap online at the Portland Expo Building where people can sell their snow gear that is lightly used and you can get gear at a steal of a deal. It was too good to be true, literally... So we got up early and made it down to Portland. Things started to look suspicious when we got to the Portland Expo CENTER and there was no one really there except for people that did not look athletic. So I pulled up the website and we found that this ski swap was in Portland, Maine. FML. We got up early for nothing! Brian was not thrilled. I laughed so hard that I cried.

We ended up finding some great deals on boots and snow shoes at Next Adventure, so it wasn't a complete bust :) we also spent the afternoon with some great friends and watched the Civil War with them and Baby Hudson. Definitely a great weekend, and only one slight mishap :)

On Sunday we took Dale to hunting school where he will be for the next 3 months. It was a tough day dropping our little guy off. I shed a few tears (lets be honest, it was more than just a few), but we know it will help him in the long run.

After that we got our Christmas tree and started getting ready for the Christmas Season. It was a busy weekend, but great to spend that time with Brian and our families! Ready for December: Birthday, Hawaii, Christmas! Bring on the next holiday!
