Thanksgiving and More...

I had a wonderful 4 day break!! Oh how I love having a normal job that allows me to spend the holidays with my family. What a wonderful thing!!! I will never forget last year!! Not only did I have to work, but I wasted waiting in line for 2 hours at the Little America for a Thanksgiving dinner that never happened because I had to go to work at 2pm. Enough said.

All of my brothers and sisters came to my moms house and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Our dinner was perfect and we got to spend the rest of the day playing games, eating pie, taking naps, hanging out and of course watching Christmas Vacation!!! Friday morning out of tradition, my mom, sister and I got up at 4:45AM and joined the crazy shoppers all over time. Nowadays its more about the tradition moreso than the shopping deals. However, its something i dont like to miss :)

Poor Brandon had to work all during the break! He worked a 32 hour shift Friday/Saturday and then stayed up even after that to watch the Utah vs. BYU game. We are Utah fans and you can definitely say there was some serious dissapointment. Brandon was a good sport and only slept for 3 hours (after being up for 35 hours straight) before going to Enchanted with me. We both thought the movie was really cute! Its rare that we get to go out because of the busy schedule he has so we both enjoyed it a lot.

Anyway, I am very very thankful for all my blessings! I have the best family in the world and it was so great to see them and spend Thanksgiving with them this year. Now we get to listen to Christmas music and enjoy the wonderful Christmas season :)
Love,

Kristin

p.s. Here is the latest and greatest King Family photo!

Halloween!

I was able to drive up to Hyrum and spend Halloween at my sisters house! The weather was great and the drive wasn't so bad. I am always up for opportunities to be with my family, especially my 2 cute nephews! My sister Kimber made some wonderful homeade chili and bread that was so delicious!! What's funny is that my p

arents showed up a little later as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger! They had just come from their ward trunk or treat. How funny!!

Life lately has been a little crazy, but is starting to settle down. I am starting a new job Monday teaching! It was a long process to find the perfect place for me to teach, but I found one and can't wait to start! At first I get to work with all different age groups, but will probably end up full in with the preschool kids.

One bummer is that Brandon found out last week he has MONO. He had been sick for weeks and wasn't getting any better. I was getting really worried because at first we thought it was just the flu, but after 2 weeks of still feeling horrible he went into the doctor and tested for MONO. Ever since then he has been on a leave of absense at work staying at home trying to get better. Poor guy.

Anyway, that is about it! I can't believe it's already November and soon the major holidays will be here! What a fun time of the year.

Love,

Kristin
