Black Friday + Walmart = Suicide

So, this year I learned what Black Friday is. Don't make fun. I come from a family of boys. Gosh. I knew about the get up early and shop the day after Thanksgiving festivity, but I had never had the joy of actually experiencing it. Since this is the year of change for me, and being the chipper morning person I am (NOT!), and mainly because I am just plain crazy, I decided to go see what all this "Black Friday" fuss was about. And, there were some really good deals in the Wal-mart ad. Gina, my sister-in-law agreed to come suffer it out with me. We planned to meet there at 4:30 a.m. (AHHHH!) It opened at 5 am. Well, Gina doesn't have a cell phone, so....I never found her. It was complete madness there. It was quite obvious I was a Black Friday Virgin. And all alone. Yikes. At 5 am exact, they let the war begin. People were running and jumping and crashing and grabbing. It was a sight to be seen. No, I have no pictures. I was focused on getting the "Walker to Wagon" and "Rock-n-play Piano" for Jaxon. And, I GOT THEM! I didn't get everything on my list, but quickly realized that would have been impossible. After that, since I was up, I went to Old Navy. They were having levis on sale for $14.75! Then I hit up KB toys and found some bath duckys and a pink barking poodle for Jaxon! It turned out to be worth it. Would I do it again? Hmmm.....No.
this picture is quite appropriate for the event. I'm thinking that resembled my face when the chaos begun.

That is funny that you have never been to the sales on black friday- We go every year, and it is crazy, but I think super fun. Looks like you guys have been busy and have been having a blast-

We had to wait a year for Kelton to be sealed to us since he is not Anthony's bio-logical son and it is a law that Kelton had to live with Anthony for a year before he could be adopted. Kelt couldn't be sealed to Anthony and I until he was adopted unless we asked his bio-logical father and since his bio-dad is a jerk and wouldn't have given concent we just waited, that way he had no say in anything and didn't even need to know what was going on since he isn't on Kelton's birth certificate. Sorry for the long explination, but that is why. Since Jax is Andrew bio-logical son you will have no problems with that. You will just have to be temple worthy! Thats awesome that you guys are getting sealed!! It was seriously the most amazing thing in the world- It was way worth it!

I wanted to get the Walker to Wagon too... but we didn't go to Walmart.... To crazy! We went to Kohls and Best Buy and it was still insane! Its fun though to see so many people out that early. We all should still be sleeping and it looks like it too. People in jammies and me looking like I just rolled out of bed. Do you think they still have the Walker to Wagon? I still want to get it!

Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
