So long BIG city!

Ok... I hope I don't offend anyone with this posting, but this ALL needs to be said:

I can NOT believe I live HERE!!!

So, we moved to Roosevelt, Utah... population is under 5,000 people! Outside of fast food joints and gas stations there are no businesses that I have ever heard of here!!!! No TGIF's, no Chili's, no Old Navy, no Walmart, no Target, no Sally's Beauty Supply, NO LIFE!!

The worst part is that the closest "big" town is Vernal which is 30 minutes away and all they have off my list if a Walmart! AND... the only restaurant out there that I have even heard of is a GOLDEN CORRAL!!!

Someone... please shoot me! (not literally!) I know, I know... I sound like a spoiled brat... but, I really didn't think that I was that spoiled until I moved here! I am trying to get used to it, but it is very, very difficult.

On the lighter side... I have gotten a few giggles! So far I have been told to get a job changing oil, that the best place to buy clothes is the ACE Hardware, and have learned what "upper class" homes REALLY mean in a small town... stone columns on either side of the entrance to your property and a chain link fence surrounding the rest!

Ok.... I really shouldn't get a laugh out of other peoples life styles, but it is really hard to keep a straight face sometimes out here.

Anyway... I will put some pictures up of our new home soon and will write more then.
Talk to ya'll soon! LOL

TGIBF... thank goodness it's BLACK friday!

WOW!!! I went out with my in-laws on black friday to shop, it was my first time. What an adventure!!!!
We went to the Mall at midnight and got home around 2:30am. Then we got up at 4am to go to Walmart and got home around 7:30am. I was EXHAUSTED!!!! But, I got some pretty good deals. Although, I don't know if I will do that again... the shoppers that go out around that time are a LOT meaner than I can be!



At one point while I was in Walmart, there was a lady running into the back of me with her cart because she wanted me to get moving even though I had other people in front of me!!! I know... CRAZY!

Well, now that's over with and I have almost ALL of my Christmas shopping done! And it's just the first of December!!! YEAH!!!!!

Besides Friday, it was still a hectic weekend. My husband left Friday morning to go back to Vernal... :( sad! I spent Saturday and Sunday cleaning our old apartment and moving our stuff from a storage unit in Draper to our new unit in Lehi. I have also been making albums for family members for Christmas and I only have 1 left to do!!! I am ALMOST sick of scrapbooking! LOL But... not quite!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful!!
