Thanksgiving

So I wrote out all the things we did for Thanksgiving but then I lost the whole thing when I closed my computer, so this will be the shortened version. We went to California and saw all of Travis' family, it was really nice to see everyone since we haven't been down for a year now...last Thanksgiving to be exact! We got to hang out with Devon and Shira, so nice to see friends. And Shira is all cute and pregnant too! We went out to eat, had a great Thanksgiving dinner at Travis' dad's house. And I read a lot and took lots of naps and was just plain lazy. But that's what the holidays are for right? We also got to look for apartments...since Travis just got a job and this is my way of somewhat officially telling everyone!...I think Travis wants to wait a little longer, like until we are all moved and what-not before really saying it's official. But we've found an apartment that we are really excited about and I'll keep the location a secret until Travis starts his first day of work! We unfortunately didn't partake in Black Friday, although we wish we had gotten a few things that were on sale...oh well, there's always next year. Now I'm back to work and Travis is studying up for finals next week and I'll I can think about is how much junk we have to pack :( There are no pictures, not that anyone would care to see anyway, but since we lost all our photos during a freak external hard drive sync, seeing the camera makes me angry! Maybe if we can get anything recovered I'll feel better, but until then it's all words and no pics.

Utah Drivers

So I've always felt that Utah drivers were the worst that I have ever encountered, including living in Texas. Travis disagrees and says that California is just as bad or worse because of all the traffic, but I have proved him wrong... On my way to work I make a right turn to get on the ramp for the highway. This turn is at a light and it's usually red when I pull up to it. So the other day I pull up and look left to see if I can go ahead and turn right even though the light is red (which is perfectly legal) and I notice a car in the lane next to me in the through lane. The light is still red and all of a sudden the car goes straight through the light and just keeps on going! It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on, I looked up and the light was just changing to green after the car was gone. So I realized that the car was waiting for the opposite light to change to yellow and then going ahead through the red to get a second ahead! I couldn't believe it...until a few days later I realize that the same car is sitting next to me at the same red light and it starts to go again (light still red) unfortunately this time a car was racing to catch the yellow light and was almost t-boned! Everyone was slamming on breaks and I think my eyes almost popped out of my head, I couldn't believe it! This guy almost got into a serious car wreck, which would have totally been his fault all to save literally 2 seconds of time! I'm sorry if I sound a little crazy, but I really don't want anyone doing that to me if I'm rushing to catch a yellow (not that it's all that legal either but still not that bad). Yesterday Travis and I saw someone do it at the light on our street, I can't believe this is a normal thing, but it sure seems like it. So I claim Utahans as the worst drivers ever!
