Comment on November.....

So I haven't blogged for awhile, in fact, my one blog-stalker (you know who you are!-haha) specifically requested that I start blogging again. You know it's bad when your one stalker is chasing you down about posting. Sad! Anyway I have been neglecting the blog, not that I haven't had all kinds of time to update it. Since the 13th of November I've pretty much been up in Idaho, except for the 3 days around Thanksgiving that I went back to SLC to work. I planned on not coming back up to Idaho again until after the first of the year but I got all homesick, and with gas prices being what they are, why not drive back up? So I drove up for another few days. But alas, the real world calls and I must return to real life, for a few weeks at least. But it's been fun while it's lasted.

First of all we went to the airport to pick up Little D who returned from the Philippines where he served his mission-heart!!! Jenna and I wore DJ's Harley Davidson shirts to the airport. Yes, it was the first thing he noticed when he gave me a hug.

My Mills grandparents and then my mom, dad and Jenna were there. So was the Channel 6 news crew, filming a soldier coming back from Iraq. Of course they had to interview him right in front of the doorway where the passengers were trying to exit, and even though it was a live feed that didn't stop us from screaming when DJ got off, and it also alerted the citizens of Pocatello watching the news that DJ was home.




DJ wasted no time getting back into the swing of things:

We had a great dinner at Chili's on Saturday night after everyone arrived for the next day's 'talk in church' by DJ.

DJ gave a great talk. Way to be little d.

We had family picture day courtesy of Wade, our resident photographer. The family pics I will post later after we get them from Wade. I'm sure they are AMAZING.

We had Thanksgiving dinner a week early because my dad would be missing it since he had to get back to Florida for work. I would be missing it too. Sad. But work wasn't bad-I had the EASIEST assignment ever. I may or may not have taken naps in my chair. Full on dreaming naps. But that can't be confirmed at this time.

Jenna and Cassie (my wonderful hair stylist and well, I can call her friend) and I went to see Twilight the Friday it came out. We had dinner at Senor Iguana's beforehand with Mom and DJ. Luckily we bought tickets ahead of time. The line was a little out of control. The movie was good. Loved the Harry Potter trailer.

When I came back to Pocatello we celebrated DJ's 21st birthday (even though it was October 15th) with a german chocolate cake from Fred Meyer. That's how we roll people. Sorry I didn't post any pics of the birthday celebration. However I did post this pic from Leatherby's with my mom because well, I like the picture. Anyway it was fun to be home so much and it's fun to have the brother home. It's a good thing we have mobile-to-mobile minutes because we are on the phone quite a bit :o). Good times. I'm done.
