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!!
