Two more weeks of school. I don't know how we're going to finish what we need to in that time, but at least then it will be over and we can look back at everything, instead of feeling its weight on our shoulders.
We had Wednesday off from school, but we worked all day; I guess Rebecca still went to school to write a large paper, but she didn't have classes. So, despite the break from school, we took no breaks. Rebecca had mutual at night, but once she got back from it, we decided to go to a dollar movie and take a break. When we got to the theater, the line was very long and in the cold, but we couldn't make up our minds if we wanted to go home or just stick it out. As a result, we ended up staying. And a good thing too, because The Brothers Grimm has to be the best movie we've seen all year. For me personally, it's one of the best I've seen in a long time. We highly recommend people to see it (most likely it's out of the theaters, but it comes on DVD December 20th - we already looked that release date up!). But we can't stop thinking and talking about this movie. Everywhere we go, we keep bringing it up to each other. Very good movie. Ten stars. [Eleven! :) -beck]
Thursday morning, we woke up early and drove to Evanston, Wyoming for Thanksgiving lunch. Grandma Harris likes for us to be there early, but we didn't get out the door until around nine in the morning. But I must have driven faster than normal because we were there by 10:30. All of Provo looked like a ghost town and there wasn't a soul on the roads, so maybe that helped speed things up.
Thanksgiving meal was nice and we chatted with cousins and aunts and uncles. After eating too much, we drove home and did our best to stay awake on the road. It is difficult driving back home after a large thanksgiving meal because I get sleepy after the meal. Somehow we managed to stay awake. The rest of Thursday we spent doing nothing (probably homework, but who knows anymore); but we did put up our Christmas tree and decorations. Rebecca was so excited that we spent the night sleeping in our sleeping bag underneath the tree with the lights on. [yay for Christmas!! :):):) -beck]
Friday, we actually went out to do some errands. I can't stand Black Friday, but I do enjoy spending time with Rebecca, so I figured we could go. [my glasses broke while I was wearing them Wednesday afternoon - I swear I wasn't doing anything else! I just heard a little pop, and took off my glasses to see what happened, and the earpiece fell off in my hands. Friday was the soonest we could catch people at the glasses store to try and fix them. -beck] But when we got back, it was back to the grindstone for the next 24 hours.
This evening, Rebecca has a young women meeting for church and then we're going over to Karl and Angela's for dinner. Rebecca is worried that she didn't make enough brownies (for the young women). We wish everyone a great week.
