We are happy to back home for Thanksgiving 2008!!! We plan on spending lots of time with family and friends. It should be nothing but relaxing and fun : )
Tomorrow a few us plan to participate in the annual 5k Turkey Trot! I missed last years, so I am a little excited for the challenge this year. It will actually be nice out, which isn't always the case! Hopefully, the previous weekends' successful run will follow through tomorrow as well!
I also signed up for the Fargo Half Marathon in May - yikes!! We'll consider tomorrow's run good training.
Well back to watching Susie take on Blaine in Wii darts, the smack talk is definitely on. Too funny!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Weekend Update
Eeks...it has been a couple of weeks since I have blogged. Its not that I didn't try - there were a couple of times I started a post only to draw a complete blank on anything interesting to write, concluded I got nothing.
I still really got nothing, but here goes anyway.
The past couple of weeks involved two trips to ND (helped Stace move/paint, Sioux Hockey!!!, and more painting).
One trip to SD, very quick one day trip. Productive, none-the-less (work-related).
I had a night out in hopping Anoka with the girls, while the guys attempted to shoot a deer. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row Blaine did not get his deer. But the group all split the meat, so we do have lots of jerky to show for it!
Blaine got his Bday/Christmas gift from me. I am not usually the type to give a gift early, nor let the surprise be ruined. But I did. I proclaim thought that it is a one-time event. He loves the new lap-top btw! I was going to get him a Veteran's day card, but if you didn't know those don't exist. I was NOT happy to find that neither Target, nor, HALLMARK sold them. Not cool. I was/still am pretty upset about that.
This weekend I convinced Stace to come visit, enticing her with a 5k Turkey Trot! It SO worked ; ) We were both very impressed and happy with the results of the run. Not only did we not stop, we also completed it with personal records!!! It was definitely a personal victory, as I have been struggling with my running lately. Now hopefully the traditional Bismarck Turkey Trot will go as well, if not better!!
We also had great success shopping (I even got ahead of the game with getting one Christmas gift taken care of!)
I of course have no pictures to show for it, but I am sure if you check Stace's blog in the next couple of days she will post some lovely ones!
