Happy Thanksgiving! 

This year we decided to do the grown up thing and make our own Thanksgiving dinner. (Actually, we just wanted leftovers.) We spent Thanksgiving day with Tyler's family. But today (Friday) we had a little holiday of our own. Not gonna lie, it was tough. Luckily we did ham and not turkey because all you have to do with ham is stick it in the oven, and it's pre-cooked. How awesome is that? But I don't think turkeys come pre-cooked. We also made our own rolls and stuffing. Pretty impressive, I know. The stuffing tasted great, but was really mushy. I tried to remedy that by sticking it in a thin layer on a cookie sheet and baking it, but I don't think it helped. And the rolls were supposed to taste like Texas Roadhouse rolls, and they totally didn't, so we're buying rolls next year. I did cut my finger open but luckily nothing that needed stitches. See, cooking is so dangerous how can you justify doing it daily? Anyways please enjoy my picture of our food. Unfortunately I don't have an Instragram account to post it to. Now all the Instagrammers will be deprived of images that prove my ability to cook without getting my blood in the food. 

We also set up our Christmas decorations. We (and by that I mean I) only broke one decoration this year. 

Anyways I am actually still hungry sooo gotta go. Happy holidays to all.

Okay so I seriously have nothing of real value to talk about, but I know some people (mom) like me to keep my blog somewhat up to date.

Let's see. We went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point, which was on my bucket list so get to cross that off.

Look, me and a fake dinosaur fossil.

Tyler with the t-rex. 

 Tyler and the giant sea turtle. Yes his eyes are closed. Clearly we are really bad at taking pictures.

 Tyler and the supersaurus. Or something of the sort. It's hard to tell what type of dinosaur it is when it's so blurry. 

Honestly, we're not the greatest at museum trips (ironic, I know, considering what I majored in). I do love going and seeing everything, I just am not always patient enough to read everything.

I gave Bram a nice haircut. He did not think it was so nice. Something about bangs being uneven... oh well. Even the most talented of hairstylists are only human. 

I also found what I believe to be one of the fattest birds alive. This bird also may or may not have been in a student's locker. I'm not sure, but it's seems to be the only one sluggish enough to be caught.

UPDATE: Since starting this blog I have gotten distracted by stuff that happened (see, I say nothing eventful has happened and as soon as I say it, stuff happens.) Here's what happened. Our car broke down and we spent about a week car shopping because it would not start. Plus there's something up with the tire rod ends (?) that will cost over a thousand dollars to fix and also I'm pretty sure will cause the whole wheel to fall off at any moment. Anyways, I had to get rides to and from work by multiple people because I am incapable of getting myself to work apparently (here are my options- 1. ride my bike 5 miles. Pros: fastest way to work. Burn calories. Cons: busy, dangerous road. Riding in dark. Possible ice/snow. 2. Bus. Pros: don't have to rely on someone for a ride. Green. Cons: will take literally over an hour one way. 3. Frontrunner. Pros: don't have to rely on someone for a ride. Cons: will also take over an hour one way once I have to walk from the station to the school.) So after days of car shopping and being completely unable to start the car, a miracle happened and just like that it worked again. Huzzah! I should have known our trusty car wouldn't let us down. So that's that. Hopefully this warm weather holds up so that the car will continue to start.
