- I don't even know how many hours I worked last week. Even with the holiday, I know I topped 40. The DH and parents got to hear my conference calls, the BIL got to be part of my meetings, and the whole family saw me watching movies with my laptop always attached. It's ugly when there's a big deadline on December first.
- The DH and I traveled to Boise and go to spend time with my family. We also spent an evening with the Ips and an evening with the Godfreys. They are both great couples that I miss a lot being so far away.
- Thanksgiving dinner was GREAT! My family really can cook and there was too much of everything. It was also great to be in the same room with my entire family, parents, siblings, brothers and sisters in law, and all my nieces and nephews. They're all such wonderful people to be around. I think all the nieces and nephews just keep getting to be more fun too.
- A bunch of the women went to see Australia. I loved it. The cinematography was outstanding and the story moved along nicely. Even at one hour and fourty minutes, it didn't drag for a moment. And of course, I enjoy a good love story. I'd recommend it to anyone interested.
- The DH and I took two nieces to the World Center for Birds of Prey just south of Boise. It was really interesting seeing the different birds and hearing the volunteers there talk about the birds. The birds in the center now are all birds that couldn't make it in the wild.
- Had a great dinner at Flying Pie Pizzaria Gourmet Night with Whitney, Brent, and the girls. They have all you can eat gourmet pizzas in addition to all the regular stuff. YUM! And fun with such good company.
- The DH got to see three football games on Thanksgiving day and watched the BSU/Fresno State game on Friday. I can't say he got his fill of football (because he may never get his fill), but he sure got a good fix.
All in all, it was a great week with a lot of time spent with a great family and some good friends. I miss them already!

I might have to check out that movie.
And my kids loved the Christmas tree :) !!
Sounds like a crazy but rewarding week! I'm glad that you were able to enjoy time with family even if you did have to cram in some work. Welcome home!
Crazy work week! Hopefully it will die down, now that the deadline is surpassed. When do you ramp up for the next crazy deadline?
I so very much miss gourmet night at the Flying Pie. They once had a lobster and asparagus pie that was sooooo good.
I'm sooo glad to hear that someone liked "Australia." We've been wanting to check it out. There's one part of the world we'd move to in a heartbeat if it weren't so dang far away from family.
