I was so upset cause I brought my camera and SURPRISE, no memory card :( so frustrating...but no worries, a lot of people brought cameras WITH memorie cards in it...so I will get some pics to post here, cause a blog isn't a blog without pictures!!!


So many things happened lately, last week Nate's parents and sis came for thanksgiving, we had a wonderful long weekend with them, and for the first time, in my almos 3 years of US, I experienced the black friday madness hahaha I was so excited with all the cheap stuff. I think I am gonna start a black friday fund, so I can buy more and more cute stuff next year...we had thanksgiving dinner at Suzy and Mike's house, everything was great, we were encharged of desserts, so we made a pumpkin cheesecake, cookies and pie...the cheesecake was sooo darn good :)
