Gobble Gobble

A few weeks ago Alex was down in Champaign for his negotiations competition at U of I. He went in not feeling too confident, but they ended up doing really well. His team came in 2nd. They may have a chance to go to Orlando in February for the National Negotiations Competition. If this happens.... I might be looking into a plane ticket to go down there as well! I'm sure I'll be needing an escape from the cold Chicago winter.
I'm in the middle of my parent teacher conferences for the 1st quarter. When these are all done we'll be heading back home for Turkey Day. We're doing an early one with Alex's family and then an evening one with mine. So, it should be a good day full of awesome food and wonderful company! That saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is definitely true. It has been several weeks since we have been home, so we are both in need of some time with our family and friends.
I definitely plan on hitting up the stores for some good deals. Probably around L-town on Friday and then heading down to the outlet mall on Saturday. I can't resist the after Thanksgiving Day shopping.
Does anyone out there watch The Amazing Race?? I know Rox is a faithful watcher, but I just absolutely love it this season. It makes me want to try out and be on it! I think Alex and I would be pretty entertaining.... I might have to look into it. Just a thought.....
I hope everyone is transitioning into winter well. Christmas will be here before we know it... Can you believe its already Thanksgiving?
Happy Turkey Day!

Missed you guys over T-giving...and I know you are talking about us when you say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder!', you dont have to mention names. LOL.

Oh yeah, and if you guys get on Amazing Race I might seriously discontinue our friendship! I tried to get on that show 3 different times and everytime I did the due date had already pasted by either a few days or a week!! It wasnt meant to be, however, it would be awesome-but they are looking for people with more drama so start practicing! If you go live in another country you must be loyal to the honk & wave :)
