Thanksgiving Week

So this last week or so has been pretty slow with Thanksgiving coming up and the really bad weather. I kinda told u about sliding into the ditch. Our tires were bald and I put the car in low gear and all of a sudden it starts sliding to the right into a ditch. We were under a blizzard warning and you have to watch out for snow drifts as well. I walked in some snow yesterday and it was up to my knees in some places. Basically yesterday we sat inside all day long and it was pretty boring. So it's been really cold here. 

This week we will be eating dinner with the Kupers and lunch with the Gonzales. Brother Gonzales is less active and not in our area but he and his wife are the ones that own Pure Energy (the gymnastics place where Greg jumps on the trampolines).  I made a bet with him that if the Saints win he has to go to church for 3 weeks and if the Saints lose I have to leave him alone about it for 3 weeks. We will likely both watch the game and have a good time. 

For Christmas don't get me anything I have to really lug around. I think gift cards will be ok. Don't get me a lot tho cause today I'm gonna go and buy some boots to wear for snow and stuff. They cost about 60 dollars.

I heard about the pat down thing. I don't really see the big deal in it as long as you are having someone of the same sex searching you. I guess maybe it's a little extreme. But the scanners I don't have a problem with. The pat downs might be kinda weird tho. No we didn't find out much more about the drugs that went missing. I think they trust us though that we didn't do anything. I think I will be staying and training but then again who knows. Does Mark talk to Melissa much about religion? To be honest she gets most of her information off of anti websites and I don't think will look at it with an open mind. 

How are granny and pop pop doing and grandma and grandpa and Aunt Cindy and them? Are yall gonna go down to New Orleans again for new years or anything?  It's cool that Tre  came by to come see yall. I find it interesting that Lindsay is really set on going on a mission. I didn't think that would ever happen lol. Most girls get married before they go on one. She will have to wait until she is 21 to go. So she still has quite awhile. So what all have yall been up to? I'm tryin to think of stuff I did this week but really we didn't do a whole lot. Anyways sorry this is short but I don't have much to say. Anyways yall have a happy Thanksgiving and take care.

 

Love
