Thanksgiving Week and Black Friday Traditions

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Even though last week was Thanksgiving it was still very productive.


Lando's cat grass finally grew back. His old grass was getting old so I tossed it and grew a new batch. He was so happy to have his grass back again!

Monday morning was pretty cold so I decided to go on a walk. I love walking or running in cold weather. The sun coming through the clouds was so beautiful. It started to rain just as I turned the corner to get on my street. Talk about good timing!


Lando creeping outside.


Hobby Lobby was having a great sale on trees. This one is much nicer than the ones I was looking at at Walmart and it was cheaper too! It was a bit difficult to get into my car but one of the employees helped me out.


Tuesday I went to the shelter to see if the had any applications for me to fill out for a volunteer position. I filled one out, talked the person who was head of volunteering and I start next Tuesday (29 of November)! I'm so excited!


Wednesday it was a bit chilly again so I decided to go for another walk. The view from my neighborhood is so beautiful!


Thanksgiving day I spent some time vacuuming and steaming the floors so I could put the tree up.


I had a panini for lunch! Peppered tofurkey, tomato, onion, daiya cheddar cheese, and just mayo.


Lando making sure I set the tree up correctly.


Thanksgiving day we decorated the house, watched Christmas movies, and then for Thanksgiving supper we went out to eat at Golden Corral. Almost every Thanksgiving we go out to eat at a buffet restaurant. It's just easier that way so I don't have to spend hours cooking and then cleaning dishes when it's just the two of us.


Our tree next to the fire place looks so cozy.


On Black Friday we never go out shopping. Instead, we decorate the outside of the house! Friday I got all the lights up. Saturday and Sunday I did spend some time outside making some minor adjustments such as changing the location of the solar panels for the solar lights and changing the placements of the lawn ornaments.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...
