Happy Turkey Day Turkeys!!

Happy Thanksgiving People!!! I know that it's the day after.. but I've sure been busy and haven't found time to blog. Quick recap.. Wednesday we had our first Thanksgiving at the house.. Scott did absolutely all of the cooking.. which was friggin fabulous! We had 12 guests and exactly 12 plates. God is looking out for us. Then yesterday we caught a matinee movie and hit up the mom's house for some leftovers. At around 8:00 we decided to leave for Atlanta a day early.. and POOF! Here we are, in the hotel room.. totally psyched for the big Shootout Competition that Scott will most definately win! EEK! Checkout time is in 32 minutes... and I'm blogging in my towel. Whoops. Gotta Jet! Wish us luck!

Vote-La-La


Today is election day. Yes, I'm sure that everyone on planet Earth has figured this out. Billboards, television, internet, yard signs, radio, telephone, word of mouth.. it is everywhere. Obama's face is everywhere. I still do not know who to vote for. I scwabble around.. back and forth. Who knows?? Maybe I will have decided before the polls close and Obama wins.

Meanwhile, back in Trina-la-la-land... Scott and I made a radical decision late Friday night. We were sitting outside on our patio, building a large fire in our fabulous firepit... we were just about to roast some marshmallows and await the trick-or-treaters.. when we get the bright idea to drive to Virginia. So, we packed up our stuff (Scott was so excited that he only packed his shirts--no pants), we counted our funds, and jumped in the car. Manassas, Virgina, HERE WE COME!! I failed to mention to any of my family that we'd be stopping by, but I figured that they wouldn't mind.. and they didn't. We had a very very fabulous weekend.. the drive was not as horendous as we had both anticipated. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the family was generally thrilled at our surprise visit. I will admit, though, that I was a bit frazzled at the idea of Scott meeting everyone, but everything went better than planned. I'm pretty sure that the whole family approves.. which is a bonus. We decided that this was the first of many random surprise visits up North.
