I had promised myself that I would never attempt going out to shop on Black Friday (and that didn't take too much persuasion), because nothing is worth it. I am pretty sure the only person that could talk me in to going is Josh and he did this year.

Our game plan:

Alarm set for: 3:15 am
Call Michael to wake up: 3:35 am
Leave: 3:40 am
Sears: 4:00 am
Sports Authority: 5:00 am
Home Depot: 6:00 am
Sleep: after

That did not happen....

Michael ended up texting Josh at 1 am because he didn't feel good so he wasn't going to come. At that point Josh put his phone down somewhere in the bed. So when he alarm went off at 3:15 am he just turned it off and went back to sleep. Somehow we both woke up for some reason and I said "Did the alarm already go off? because I kinda remember it going off." Josh looked at his phone and it was 5:22 am. So we got ready and took off to Home Depot (since it opened at 6 and it had the most important idem of the day), when we got there, there was a line but not a very big one, we stood in line for like 15 minutes until they opened the doors, and the craziness started. Once we got inside all the workers were yelling "Shop-vacs straight back" (thats the reason we were there and obviously everyone else was, but a $100 shop-vac for $20 is a pretty good deal) so everyone was racing for the pile of shop-vac, someone even climbed on top of all the displays in the middle and crawled to get there. I did a little pushing to get there but I got one and Josh got one (we got one for Michael). Right after we grabbed ours they were all gone. Some guy grabbed 6. I was even brave enough to go get a cart all by myself (even though it was so crazy) and wait in line by myself, while Josh grabbed a few more things. I was very proud of myself!

Once we got to Sports Authority there were very many people there and what Josh wanted was still there, so we got in and out of there quick. Sears on the other hand was still packed and stinky , and nothing we went for was there.

We got home at 7:30 and Josh tucked me back in bed and he left to get my Christmas presents! Yay! I don't know where he went but he said they were still way crazy.

I still don't like Black Friday, but I feel like we had a pretty successful one!

First Date!

Today has been 1 year since our first date! I can't even believe it, what a great year! It feels like this year has flown by but also, I feel like I have known Josh my whole life! Both Josh and I didn't expect the date to go so well, and as soon as it started I could tell it was going to be different then any other first date i had ever been on. There was still awkwardness and everything that comes with first dates but it just seemed different. Sure enough it was the last first date we will both ever go on, THANK GOODNESS! I am so glad that he called me to go out, even though he didn't trust his mom's judgment :) and I am so happy that he didn't give up on me when I had to reschedule our first date (our original first date was planned on the day Brinlee was born so we moved it to the next weekend)! I am happy that he promised me a second date! I am so glad that he drove home to Draper from Logan every weekend to be with me. I am so lucky to have him. We were made for each other in every way. We would be lost with out each other.
