Thanksgiving and Then Some!

So it finally happened! Shayne was promoted to 1st LT this week! I am so proud of him and for all of the hard work he has been doing. I was sad to miss his first promotion ceremony but there will be another in 18 months! He is still doing great and staying positive! We are on the count down to R&R...56 days, give or take a few!! We can't wait!! Payson and I flew up to Bozeman for Thanksgiving to spend time with the Family and run our annual 5K....alright, well I walked most of it but finishing is all that counts! I think my time was 45 something!

Thank goodness we had Jonathan out there to capture proof of Macy and I running at least a little bit! ;) Then of course we had to stop for a quick chat with him before running to the finish line!

Almost there!!

Somehow I forgot to post the picture at the finish line! Oh Well!! So earlier today Payson wanted some chips! I thought he might like some ranch cooler ones. They are Shayne's favorite! I opened the bag and handed it to him and he said "Dip it, salsa." Payson LOVES to dip things and he especially loves Mommy's salsa! I tried to tell him that those chips were not to dip but he didn't care. So I gave him some salsa and he ate the whole bag! I love this kid so much!

Payson and I were supposed to go home yesterday but we decided at the last minute to stay and extra two weeks!! I absolutely love being in Bozeman and I have loved this time with Grandma Heap! She is so stinking funny and I could listen to her stories all day!! Em made the basketball team so we are super excited to be able to watch a few of her games while we are here!!

I totally forgot to say that Friday morning Jonathan and I woke up bright and early to hit up the black Friday sales!!! We always have a blast together!! We were at the mall and saw the huge display to take your picture with Santa. Of course it was closed so we decided to hop the gate, put the self timer on the camera and take a picture! I thought it made the perfect headline picture for this time of year! We were cracking up at ourselves!! When we were at Target, a news camera man was stalking us and then ended up interviewing me....Jonathan very slyly stepped away! Anyway, my interview didn't make it on the news but a shot of the two of us shopping and my quote did! Good times!
