Thanksgiving and other happenings

I am really struggling with blogger. How do I write above this picture? It can't be that hard... Anyway, we had a great Thanksgiving with a lot of our friends. The Bodens came up from Blacksburg and stayed with us for 3 short days. It was so fun and reminded us of old times, even though both our families have changed a lot in the past year and a half. I didn't get a single picture of all of us :( We had Thanksgiving dinner over at the Johnson's house, a family in our ward. Some of our other friends in the ward were there too. We had a delicious dinner and a great time hanging out with everyone. When Bro. Johnson discovered that Rachel loves (is totally obsessed with, actually) blowing out candles, he sat at the table and lit a candle over and over again for her. They must have done it 30 times. The kitchen was pretty smokey by the end. I think Rachel is grateful for candles. (Thanks to Tony, our resident photographer, for the pictures).

Last Wednesday I got my wisdom teeth removed. Matt took great care of me and I'm recovering nicely. He got me these lovely roses the day after my surgery.

I'M FAT! My face swelled up pretty bad. This is my "angry face", which Matt thought was hilarious.


A great use of our frozen veggies.
Matt left this afternoon for a week of business training in Atlanta :( I'm already really lonely and he's only been gone 3 hours. I haven't been alone on a Sunday afternoon in a long time. Only 5 days until he gets back!!

Rachel is just such a cutie! I love your chipmunk angry face! I actually got my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks before our wedding and when I got home and saw my face I just about fell over...luckily the swelling went away before the wedding!:) Sorry you are alone...eat some ice cream (that always cheers me up!)

OH MICHELLE! It almost looks like it could have been the worst day of your life! Ouch! Has the swelling gone down yet? Well, I'm not doing anything this week (other than trying to pop this baby out, which isn't going so well) so while you're lonely we can get together.

I love the mad face! What fun? I had to have mine out in jr. high. Not fun at all

You poor thing! Having your wisdom teeth out and your honey gone for a week! No fun. I hope your mouth is healing nicely and that you're finding things to do while Matt is gone. I'm glad you guys had a fun Thanksgiving...one of these days we need to all meet up in Bburg again. That would be a blast!

I love it:) My favorite...I'M FAT!!! Cracks me up. If you want to hang out just call me, I'm doing a whole lot of nothing. Amy said we could go play guitar hero either Wed or Thur...come on I know you want to:)

Julia said...

Do you have your car? You could come visit. If not I might be able to make it down there.

PS-just drag the picture below the words. Either that or try typing a line or two before you upload pics. Hope that helps and that you're all healed up! BTW, I LOVED your Christmas card. Did you make it? Merry Christmas and we love you guys!
