Friday, I got up at 3:00 am (Alex did as well to be my chauffeur) to go Black Friday shopping with Brandy and her mom. (Also, a little silly, but totally worth it!) We had a good time going around the mall and grabbing a few deals.
Currently, Alex is at the Bears game with Fife thanks to Tom who offered his season tickets to the boys for today. Let me just tell you..... it was better than Christmas morning for them. They were pumped! Alex is even rocking my brother's old Bears winter coat, circa 1994. haha
Last week I had parent teacher conferences and I survived! Wahoo! They weren't really bad at all, just a little overwhelming to think I did 32 of them. Yikes!
Alex has been working for the past 3 weeks now. He enjoys his job and is learning a lot each day. He travels a lot to the suburbs during the week, on those days he gets up with me around 5:30, so he can take me to work and then drive out to the burbs. So far, so good. He started going into the courtrooms by himself his first week, and has been trucking away at it ever since.
Well, its hard to believe Thanksgiving is over and Christmas will be here so soon. I have 3 weeks of school until break, however this year will be different since Alex is a working man now and doesn't get all of that time off as well.
Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and you are enjoying the beginning of the holiday season!
