Thanksgiving 2008/Black Friday

Ryan and I celebrated our 1st Thanksgiving as a married couple and to be honest it felt no different except for the fact that the card I got for him was for my husband. Well on Wednesday we spend the night with his mom and dad, we went to dinner and then we spent the night up there. We figured since we were going to the Parade in the morning we would just spend the night so we didn't have to get up early. On Thursday we got up and went to the Fountain Hills Parade, this parade is small but cute. Linda, Bob, Grandma, Grandpa, Brady, Krys, Ryan and myself all went to this parade and we had such a great time. They had some Floats and other cute dancers. After the Parade we went back to the Travis house and spent time eating, sleeping oh and eating some more. It was a great thanksgiving.

Black Friday..... What can I say I am my mothers child and I woke up at 4:30AM to go shopping, Ryan stayed in bed but insisted on coffee upon my return. I went to Walmart early and what a ZOO that place was I got a few things but nothing major after waiting in line for 40 minutes I was free and made my way to Target. I was surprised by how many people were out this year, especially with the economy the way it is. Oh well, I spent about an hour in target and returned home with a Starbucks coffee for my husband, I turned on all the lights at 7:30AM wanting to show him all of the great deals I snagged.

Later that morning I took a nap only to be awaken by Ryan jumping on the bed giddy by some of the deals he had spotted in the ads, so I got up and we went shopping and to the Hockey game. Kohl's had some great deals we got a Mattress Pad for Cheap and a few things for the house. We ended our day by watching the Phoenix Coyotes BEAT the Colorado Avalanche, is there any better day than that..... NO

Halloween ... Hockey..... Random Things

So since Ryan and I do not have kids, we make Harley wear Halloween costumes. This was the first Halloween in 3 years Ryan was off. I got off of work went home and got the house ready for the little trick or treaters and put Harley into her outfit. There weren't many kids this year like there has been in the past. After we handed out candy to the kids we headed over to our neighbors house where they had a great party. We had a chance to meet some new people and drink. Here are some pictures from 10/31.. Harley was a 'Pumpkin' Ryan told me that I better not torture our kids like I do with her... Hmmmmm I remember a certain mother (Maria) who would make me look ridiculous in my costumes.

The next night we went to the hockey game with Ryan's grandparents. As many of you know Ryan is not allowed to attend Dback games because they always loose when he goes...... Well....... His grandparents are no longer able to attend the Coyotes Games. Here are a few pics from that night.

For some of you who weren't able to make it to our home while you were out for our wedding, you weren't able to see the renovations we did on our bedroom. So here is a picture of the new bedroom and my new comforter my sister and mom bought for me. New wood blinds, new hardwood floors, new furniture and the painting above the bed is actually a sticker that says "Always Kiss Me Goodnight"

This is a shadow box that I did after the wedding. I had my Bridal bouquet flowers 'Freeze Dried' and was going to have them create a shadow box for me, but they were asking $500 for it so I went and bought my own box and pieced together a few things. Hope you Enjoy
