Happy Turkey Day!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a busy but fun one. The Behling's, Janetski's, and Upeka and her fiance Andrew joined us for a massive lunch. Even though there were only eight of us (and two vegetarians), I still got a full sized turkey so there would be plenty of leftovers for everyone. We got another fresh, organic turkey from the local farmer's market- mmm! I'll never go back to frozen turkey! After stuffing ourselves with loads of good food, we played Guitar Hero for hours and went to the movie Enchanted. The Behling's and their dog Anya stayed overnight with us. Thankfully, Anya and Riley wore each other out leaving us plenty of time to hang out. We managed to get a little Christmas shopping done, but neither of us are into shopping especially with large crowds. I'm hoping to get the rest of the shopping done online.
Riley graduated from obedience school earlier this month and from beginner's agility school! We're very proud of our graduate. He is now passing out of his teenage rebellion stage and is now extremely cuddly. We can't do anything without him sitting on us. He's also stopped whining as much (thankfully! It was really embarrassing) and now has to mark everything. He even lifts his leg occasionally- such a big boy! He starts intermediate agility school on Wednesday. He'll be going to class with one of his best friends, so I'm not sure how well he'll pay attention. It's great exercise for him though, especially since it's getting colder and darker outside and harder for me and Kevin to stand being outside. We're also taking Riley to a doggy play-group on Saturdays. He was terrified at first. There were fifteen other dogs running wildly around a field and Riley didn't know what to do. He was a wallflower for forty minutes or so before timidly playing with some of the quieter dogs. The next time we took him he jumped right in to the fun, but he's a really mellow dog. Some of the more aggressive dogs would pin him and he wouldn't growl or bark at all, which made them pick on him even more. Poor guy is just too docile. He had a great time for the most part and was worn out for the rest of the day.
Kevin is still busy learning the ropes to his new job. He has training all next week. He's also keeping super busy with his photography business and is constantly cleaning up pictures for people. He's also been sucked into World of Warcraft meaning he's up all night and I don't see him as often as I'd like unless I sit in the office with him. He's also started an annoying trend of stealing all the covers at night, leaving me shivering. If I try to pull them back, he rolls himself up tighter in them. He's also impossible to wake up. Grrr.
As for me, I'm keeping busy with school. The semester is nearly over (yeah!!), but there is still a ton to do. Lab work is going frustratingly slow, but I keep hacking at it. Other than that, I'm loving Amazon.com and trying to find ways to never have to go to another mall again. I can't believe it's December already and that we'll be heading home to Utah in just a few weeks! We're really excited. We're putting together a list of restaurants we want to go to (it'd be nice to see some friends and family while there too). I'm going to have a Gandolfo's breakfast sandwich every morning.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! And thanks for reading my ramblings!

Just get Kevin to play more World of Warcraft at night! Then he won't be around to steal your covers! :)
