Dear Diary.....

Happy late Thanksgiving! Thanks to everyone that joined me at The Turkey Day 5k on Thanksgiving morning. I don't think it would feel like Thanksgiving without starting my day off with that! I think it's the 5th year I have co-hosted it. Right when it was over I headed to the airport to join my family (mom, dad, sis, grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins etc) in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for turkey and all the fixins at my aunt Steph's. The food (as always) was amazing! YUMMY! It was fun to spend a long weekend with the fam. I don't get to see some of them very often. We played games, built a ginger bread house with the kids, got pedicures at my aunts Spa (Zi Spa), shopped a little AND here's the big one...my mom and I got tattoos!!!!!! Yep! That's right, MY MOM! Now almost everyone in my family has a version of the tattoo that my brother had! My cousin Nathan is a tattoo artist so he has done them all! Its pretty cool having a memory of my brother right on me. I, of course, have other tattoos but this is moms one and only (and my brother would think she was CRAZY!! lol) I knew she wanted one but I never thought she's actually do it. Yes...I have a crazy family and I love it!

Since I have been back I have been fighting this stupid cold. :( Guess traveling can do that too ya. I have been trying to rest up cuz my friend Kelly, who moved to Austin a couple months ago, will be here for the weekend staying with me. Major girlie weekend planned. Can't wait.

I think this afternoon I will finally get my suitcase unpacked (yes I am a slacker) and clean and do laundry. I may even pull out my Christmas decorations? I have not decorated for a couple years...I know, you can call me Scrooge! But ya know the last couple of years we were in Mexico over Christmas so it was pretty easy to just kinda skip it. This year we are spending it in Montana like we used to. I am actually getting kinda pumped for snowmobiling, skiing and fun in the snow!

Thanks for listening to me while you work! Have a great day.

XOXO
