Well Thanksgiving is done. We spent all day at the Assey home, some friends in our branch. We had a ton of fun. We got there about 12:30pm and didn't get home until 11 at night, there is a 30 minute drive home. We had all the traditional food for lunch. They deep fried the turkey but there was so much wind that it just cooked the meat and didn't crisp the outside of the turkey. I cooked the ham, which is so easy by the way and tasted amazing. She made the rolls, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and gravey. I did the salad, mashed taters, and dessert and drinks. We had a ton of fun. They are going to be coming here to our house for Christmas dinner.
Our house is all decorated now, and we took our Christmas pictures the other day, and we will be sending out our first Christmas cards to family. Here's the pix:
On Friday Matt and I are going to be attending a Christmas Ball, that rights I am going to a ball. It is for Matt's work. Very formal attire. The military are asked to wear their nicest uniform and civillians are asked to wear a tux or nice dress suit. Matt got permission to wear his military uniform, since he works as a civillian he needed permission I guess to wear his military uniform. For a Birthday gift to myself I am getting my hair done up nice and pretty. We will be getting pictures at the Ball so look forward to that.
Matt's military profile was accepted so he doesn't have to run for the military for at least the next 5 years in the military. Hopefully his knee will be better by then. So in March Matt will head back to AZ to complete his training for the military.
Anyhew this week is going to be very busy, with; my birthday, getting lesson schedules arranged for January and advertising like crazy for new students. I just got another contact this morning for a student and if I get them that will put me at 18 students. Only 12 more and I hit my max for teaching. Then I will start a waiting list.
