Thanksgiving Bonanza!

Happy Thanksgiving! (Belated)!  Sorry!  Matt and I got up at the crack of dawn Thursday morning, and half asleep drove 6 hours to Old Fort, NC where we spent the holiday with my grandparents, parents, brother, sister-in-law and  niece.  Once the sun rose, and we were awake, we conversated, and the drive went by quickly.  We drove through some very pretty mountains, which made me want to barf.  I like looking at mountains, but not driving through them.  Ick!  <sidenote>  I wouldn't enjoy crossing a semi and a runaway truck ramp.  Talk about freaky.  Since we were all traveling Thursday, we ate our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday.  We had turkey, ham, cracker stuffing, corn casserole (Paula Dean, with butta'), green bean casserole, scalloped potatoes, ambrosia and rolls.  We ate and watched a lot of football all weekend.  Poor 49ers and Gators.. They didn't fare so well.  Neither did my self esteem after trying to get into my jeans once the weekend was over.  We had such a great time and will have an even better time next year, because we'll be back in Florida for Thanksgiving 2012!  Ya buddy.

Whistle.

We're that fun couple that makes funny faces.  You SO want to party with us.  And Matt whistles as soon as he gets out of bed in the morning.  He's weird.  But cute.

WICKED!

This past weekend I went to Nashville with my friend Crystal to see Wicked.  It was wicked awesome!  I only changed clothes TWICE before leaving the house!  Can we say accomplishment?  Yes, it was quite the feat...  This is my first outfit before I decided, "dress?? not so much." :


What is that crud on the floor?  How embarassing..

 Anyway, I kept the sweater, boots and belt, but ditched the dress and went with jeans instead.  Anyway, this is not a fashion blog, so I'll continue and not talk anymore about my clothes..... My belt's so cute, right?! When we got to Nashville, we went to the Big River Grille for dinner.  It was so yummy!  Crystal had shrimp and grits, which I'm unsure she actually enjoyed and I ate the crap out of my mexican taquitos!!  Once we finished eating, we began our treck to the TPAC.  It was very far if you ask me and by the time we got there and got seated I was ROASTING.  The elevator ride up to the nosebleed section was like a sauna and jam packed.  It took everything inside of me not to strip naked in front of everyone.  I didn't, however, because Crystal would have been embarrassed, and because I wasn't wearing sexy panties.  The show started at 8 and it was such a beautiful show.  The costumes and lighting were incredible and of course, the singing!  Elphaba can rock it, OK!?  I desperately try to sing like her, but only vaguely resemble a cat in heat... I was so happy I got to see it, and given the opportunity, will see it again! Here's a view from our seats:


Yes, that is a giant dragon head and yes it did blow fire and burn the eyebrows off of everyone in the front row....
