Bradley's Pad: December 2009

I am now done with all my classes so I can write a post about Thanksgiving break. I didn’t know what I was going to do for the break until about a week before. Shane and his family decided to stay home for Thanksgiving rather than head up to Maine. So, I decided to head up to northern Virginia. However, I had a very difficult time trying to find a ride up there; I had already secured a ride home with someone in my ward. I have an awesome roommate who sent out a massive email trying to find someone going up to DC and she got a bite, I got a ride! Just like a miracle! :)

It was a GREAT Thanksgiving break! I wet up there on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stayed until Sunday. I spent a little time on a final paper but it was mostly a very relaxing weekend. We mostly hung out on Tuesday and Wednesday doing whatever; watching movies, playing video games, sword fighting (contact me for further details), etc. Thanksgiving was good; we had about 25 people there. Tyler Moselle and his girlfriend came, it was great to see Tyler again and to meet hi girlfriend! They are great! Other than that, the rest of the people were families from the ward and the sister missionaries. We had lots of yummy food; turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, pie, etc. It was a fabulous dinner! We then went to see 'The Blind Side.' AWESOME movie; I highly recommend it!

Friday was really fun; we went to a Christmas tree farm. It is right by Shane’s house so the drive wasn’t like the drive’s we took to get Christmas trees in Utah. Luckily, Katie took a lot of pictures; so I’ll tell the story with the pictures.
