Only 8 Days Late

No, I'm not pregnant. I've meant to post about our weekend that happened over a week ago. We had a fantastic time. We've really enjoyed the extra time that a completed football season has led to. We miss watching games, but Duke is playing now, so Wes is okay. It's nice to get back in the habit of regular life where we have time to do everything we want to do.
Friday was payday for BOTH of us, so we felt like millionaires. We went to Outback for dinner. I could eat just a Blooming Onion for my meal. After dinner, we decided to go by the Fresh Market. I love going in there during the Christmas season. They had so many yummy candies and cakes. We resisted the temptation, though, and we didn't buy a single thing! We then went to see Fred Claus, which is actually a good movie. I wasn't very excited about seeing it, but I ended up loving it. It's very clean, pretty funny, and quite sweet.
On Saturday, I got out early to enjoy a non-crowded Greenridge. I stocked up at Barnes and Noble because teachers could get 20% off. Then I met my mom and my grandmother at a really non-crowded WalMart. Yes, it really exists! It was good to see my grandmother and to shop with them. Wes and I then prepared to go to my school Christmas party. First, we went to Monterrey with Michelle, Katie, and their boyfriend/husband. We thought we might prevent hunger in case there was no good food at the party. It's a good thing we did, because there really wasn't any good food there. We did have a good time at the party, though. There was even a TV with football games on so the girls got to talk without worrying about bored husbands!
Jane, me, Liza, and Michelle - some of my favorite work friends!
