This Thanksgiving break, Patrick and I had a very relaxing time for the most part. We laid around and watched movies or TV. We had a wonderful meal at The Gandy Dancer, which so happens to be converted from a train station. We had a window seat next to the tracks and two trains went by while we were there. It was pretty neat to watch. We both got the traditional turkey dinner and we both left the candied yams on our plates to stare back at us. I was able to talk with my family and wish them a happy Thanksgiving. I was also able to talk with Gemma (who was studying) and Julie (who was driving home from her new job in California).
Yesterday and today Patrick and I decided to try to get as much Christmas shopping done as possible. With my family (huge) and Patrick's family (smaller, but still sizeable) we have a lot to take care of. In the next few weeks Patrick will be busy with exams and I will be busy with interviews and helping to close up this bloody building so all the little blighters can go home; so we figured we should get a lot of our shopping out of the way. Granted, at times it was a frustrating endeavor, trying to get through the throngs of idiots out with their unruly children (IN STROLLERS!! the worst invention ever). But, fortunately for us, we were able to get a good deal of it done. A majority of it we are having shipped to NM, so that we aren't trying to take it on the plane with us, but a few of the lighter things we shouldn't have a problem taking home on the 23rd.
We will hopefully find out this week if Patrick has been admitted to U of M for nursing. He is also going to call UNM this week to find out what the hell is going on with them, because they still haven't told him one way or another if he has been accepted to their program.
Hopefully some good news in the next week.
