Happy Early Thanksgiving!
This year we did an early Thanksgiving at my parents' home, which I loved, because it's nice to have an amazing meal tonight, recover, and then do it again Thursday! We actually have to do it twice more because Hank has two sets of parents. Today was a great day. The food was awesome, it was wonderful to spend the weekend with my entire family and laugh and smile and have a grand old time.
Here are some photos-
portrait by Hank ;)
my Mom (the is the first Thanksgiving in years that she has been healthy. I am so happy about that)
my Dad! He is also doing really well :).
Lauren and Abe's new dog Rex! They rescued him from the pound and he is about 2 years old...and the biggest sweetie pie.
Simba...the only cat who will ever have a place in my heart. He is the cutest little kitty ever.
Tofurkey!
real turkey!
Nanny <33
Abe!
the lovebirds
sisters

Nanny's famous apple pie. It's seriously the BEST.
Hank loves pie!

my least favorite part about Sunday
Today we are at my parents'house, celebrating an early Thanksgiving! Unfortunately football Sunday occurs here too. I'm not against sports by any means, as I was a serious athlete growing up...but I don't like how sports take over an entire day! Hank and everyone else in my family LOVES LOVES LOVES sports and I don't like watching them for hours on end!

Weekend post #1
Last night was so fun- it's so incredibly nice to have Amber home. It's hard though because I get so spoiled...and then just has to go back to school! Luckily we have Christmas break coming up and she will be home for about two weeks.
So last night we decided to go for sushi at Esoji, our fave Japanese restaurant in town. We got a few different things, but the weirdest was a new roll they have, which is a shrimp and cumcumber roll, topped with beef and applesauce! Very strange and not actually that delicious. haha. After dinner we went over to Sundance's to watch one of Hank's other bands play, Hot Skin. You can check them out here. He plays bass. He's also going to be releasing another project (still doesn't have a name) in the near future. It's my favorite music ever, and as soon as he finishes his vocals I'll post a link. So anyway we watched Hot Skin and then our friend Bob Hoag's band was in town, The Love Me Nots. I hadn't seen them life yet and I can say, after seeing them, that I LOVE THEM. They are definitely my new favorite band. You can check them out here. It was a great show. Afterward we all went home and I ended up going to sleep way too late!
It's 11:30 and I've been lazy all morning, which feels so good! I haven't been getting very much sleep this past week so it was nice for my body to catch up and revive itself. Amber and I are going to go to lunch at Hugo's in a bit, and then Hank and I are heading home for some family time with my parents, sister and Abe. Lauren and Abe recently bought their first house and got a dog (a rescue pup named Rex!), and Hank hasn't seen the house or met Rex yet, so we're both excited. We're also going to do an early Thanksgiving tomorrow which I am so, so excited about!
Here are some photos from last night -

Sleepy Wednesday
What a day...so tired, so sleepy. But so happy! So I think that cancels out my extreme lack of sleep the past few nights. I didn't help things by making a late night trip to the gym tonight, which energized me rather than relaxed me. So, here I am, blogging close to midnight, when I have to be awake in six hours. I am planning on taking a long, long nap after work tomorrow, and then Amber should be coming over later in the evening!
Last night was a good night- Hour of the Wolf played a show in Flagstaff and I had a great time. I usually try to avoid working the merch table as much as possible but I actually had a really fun time and stayed busy the whole evening...and sold so much stuff! Awesome. The show was at The Orpheum, which is a weird place but overall I would say the night was a success.
Here are some photos-
making that money! haha ;)
Matt and Hank
our friend Andrew was guitar teching for The Misfits between touring with his own band, (who is going out with Paramore next that lucky dog) so we got to see him, which was awesome!

Anchor Monday
Sorry for the weird chest angle but I can't help it! haha. I love this sweater though.
How was everyone's day today? Mine was awesome. I love Mondays, and today was a great day at work. Afterward I got tea with my sis-in-law Brooke and chit chatted about her plans to open a cupcake shop right here in Prescott! I am really excited and happy for her, and I can't wait to help out. There are many changes that are happening in our world right now and I am so in love with life I just want to shout it from the rooftops!
So after tea with Brooke I came home and relaxed for a bit, then Hank got back with our dinner from Thaifoon. Our date night tonight was a simple one- Thai takeout and catching up on The Biggest Loser. Perfect. Now, gym time. Tomorrow I work a half day then Hank and I are heading up to Flagstaff with a carful of furniture to drop off for our friend, and then Hank's band is opening for The Misfits. I think the "new" Misfits are ridiculous but it should be a fun show and I'm happy to go and see a bunch of my friend who live in Flag. Plus, Hank and I absolutely love our drives together and I'm looking forward to getting up there to the even colder weather! Scarf, jacket, gloves, check!
Soo, before I change my mind, I'm off to the gym. Happy Monday! :)
