Thanksgiving 2010!!!!

As promised, in all of it's glory, I present to you Greg and Janet's fabulous Thanksgiving trip 2010!

This year we decided not to go back to Arizona for the holiday, instead we met my family for a camping trip at Death Valley National Park. We were there from Wednesday night to Sunday morning, and in that time we did a lot.

We went from Dante's View...

to the lowest point in the park, (Badwater Basin).

We saw a natural arch...

and an Artists Palette.

We went on some incredible drives around the park.

Which led to some pretty great tailgate picnics.

Last, but not even close to least we went to see the "Skittering Rocks!"

Yup, there really is no place like tent for the holidays.

Nine...

Greg and I started dating.

We have had nine wonderful years of being in love, fighting like no other, and going on incredible adventures. Who could ask for anything more?!

Happy Anniversary my love!

Forever,

Jan

PS: This is the first picture Greg and I took together as a couple, I am pretty sure he was trying to write a paper for a class when I put my arm around him and snapped the picture...eventually I figured out that he really doesn't like that.

Rambling...

I never got the whole "thinking of you" card but I decided that I would give it a shot. Did it work? Do you feel better knowing that for the last month that I have not been blogging that I was at least thinking of blogging?

I don't. Truth is... I should have just blogged. Oh well.

I started the blog as a fun way to let family and friends know what is going on in our tiny family's life.

Lately it has been feeling like a chore, and I really hate chores. Hate is a bit strong. Let me try again... I really, really, really don't like chores. It makes me feel like I am six and if I don't sweep the porch I will be disappointing someone somewhere. I am a people pleaser by nature and the idea of disappointing someone really bothers me...so if I have disappointed you I am sorry.

That being said...be prepared to be disappointed again. I am going to try to update the blog as often as I can, but that might not be every week.

Christmas break is just a few weeks away and I am hoping that I collect some great blogging material over the holidays.

Once Spring semester starts I don't know what the world holds in store for this little blog. I will be starting nursing school and I will have clinicals a few days a week. After orientation I am more than a little nervous about the work load but I am excited to finally be moving forward!

I have not written the Thanksgiving post...does Wednesday work for you? Okay, Thanksgiving post will be up on Wednesday. Until then here is a hint as to where Greg and I spent the holiday.

See y'all on Wednesday.

PS: Thanks for checking in, I really do love all y'all.
