Thanksgiving Week and Black Friday Traditions

Image
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.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
