We are lucky enough to share season tickets with Zach’s siblings and his parents again this year for the Jazz games.  This season one of the games we picked were the Jazz vs. Lakers.  Oh, the Lakers…the team we all love to hate.  The game was Wednesday night and you would NOT believe how many Laker fans come out of the woodwork.

Kobe himself – I have never seen him play in real life before.

Yes, we have matching jerseys.  We decided to make the investment because we will be attending a few more games this season.  And by investment I mean we spent $5 on XL child size jerseys with a player that just got traded.  We also felt like we were going to Sadie Hawkins – with the whole matching ensemble and everything.

I drove to work in a complete white-out this week – I couldn’t believe the snow!

Over the weekend we had plans to drive up to Zach’s cabin and stay with some friends, but our plans got canceled last minute.  So we improvised and decided to get some clam chowder at Market Street [as the storm continued] and catch a late movie.

The clam chowder was delicious – the movie? A little tip, perhaps:  NEVER go to a movie about a plane crash when you are about to board a plane in less than a week.  It was pretty intense.  We did run into some friends, however, and managed to sit next to them during the flick!  That was pretty much the only thing that wasn’t depressing about the film.

Saturday it continued to snow – and we awoke to this…

We attended a neighbor and friend’s baptism in the afternoon and then ran our errands afterwards while the snow took a short break.  I also completed all my neighbor Christmas gifts.  It is amazing how snow can get you into the holiday spirit!

That night, since we didn’t go to the cabin, my friends and I went out to dinner at Stoneground.  I love these ladies – some of my favorite people in the whole world!  It was so fun to be with them!

Sunday, since Zach and I will be gone over Thanksgiving, my family had an early Thanksgiving dinner for us!  There was everything – including pumpkin and apple pie for dessert!  We haven’t had an official Thanksgiving dinner in almost four years [because the holiday always ends up being on or near our anniversary] and we were so grateful to be with some family to celebrate the holiday early.

Even though there was a massive snow storm, some cancelled plans, and an epic stomach ache from consuming too much gravy and pie…this week was pretty great.  What are we thankful for?  To be blessed with amazing family and friends.
