Thanksgiving

I had the best Thanksgiving I've had in probably 9 years. First off, the food part went well. I didn't freak out as much as I thought I would have. I think it's because I know my weight is pretty low right now so if I DID end up gaining a pound or two I know I won't be "fat." I can easily lose that again when I get back to school. I worked out on Wednesday and Thursday so I felt like that helped alot as well because I haven't been running at school at all. The second reason why it was great was because my family got along, no big arguments, and everyone was happy. It is always nice when everyone's in a good mood and we get along.

Matt and I decided awhile back we would go shopping at midnight on Black Friday. We ended up going to the Tanger Outlets. It was pretty crazy! I didn't expect it to be THAT crazy. I wanted to get my mom a coach purse and the line for coach was wrapped around the entire store...JUST to get IN the store. I would probably STILL be waiting to get in the store if I stood in that line. It was the only disappointing part of the trip. Other stores like Nike had a D.J. in them playing music and all, it was actually pretty cool. I don't know if I'd do it again...it was fun, it was a great experience to say I've done it...but it was crazy. I did find some great deals...so I may do it again lol, who knows. I got home about 3:30 that night, slept for 5 hours...then got up Friday morning and Matt, Christina, and me decorated the house/tree for Christmas. It looks so pretty now! :-) I love our house all decorated. Mom does such a good job picking things out. After that Matt, Christina and I went shopping again around 1:00 to Hanes mall. It wasn't as crowded but still found good deals. Then today...Matt and I went to Four Seasons mall and found some great stuff! I'm pretty shopped out right now, and for me to say that is a big thing. I feel like I've literally seen it all now. I had a great weekend though, it was fun to be with family and Matt.

I'm going back to school tomorrow. It's amazing how fast the break goes. I'm ready to get back though. I need to be productive. I feel like I've done everything I can now and if I stayed home any longer I'd just be bored. I hate being bored! I have a fricking Marketing test on Monday! I can't believe my teacher scheduled a test for Monday after Thanksgiving. UGH it makes me so mad. I have studied some...but still have a ways to go.

I know I've been talking a BUNCH about how Matt doesn't seem as "into" me and as "in love" with me as much as he used to be, well today and yesterday really helped me and eased my nerves alittle about that situation. Yesterday he seemed really into me, was just more "lovable" and he just seemed happier I guess. He was talking to my parents and joking around with them and he wanted to hang out with them. We all watched a movie, he played with my dogs, fed my dogs, took them out, its just the little stuff like that I feel like if he didn't care/love ME...then he sure as heck wouldn't go out of his way to let shroomy out when she wants to go! Then TODAY...we looked at ENGAGEMENT RINGS!!!!!!!!! I was soo fricking excited when he suggested we go look at rings. It seriously shocked me. He has been talking about it will be awhile before we ever get engaged...but today it made it feel real, it made me feel like he is thinking about, it made me so excited. I can't even explain how happy I was. I felt like today he showed me he wanted to be with me. He just acted SOOO much like the old Matt. He didn't seem distant, he didn't seem like he was questioning me, he didn't seem like he was frustrated/annoyed with me...he just seemed like the Matthew I love and the Matthew I fell so hard in love with. I feel so much less anxious and worried. I'm a happy girl tonight. :-D
