November... Snow, Birthday, Pie!

Well November has been an interesting and fun month.
On a Thursday November 15, 2018, it said it was going to snow. For the first part of the day it was good. Later I usually pick up two kids from school. I look at the clock and I decided to leave an hour before school got out. I usually leave about 20 minutes before school gets out. I'm driving, and since the roads weren't plowed, I ended up waiting for 2 hours since some cars got stuck and we were just waiting. Luckily I have a car that's good in the snow. I made it past that situation. Then I'm suppose to exit and it was just lines of cars I got stuck just waiting and waiting. I waited for hours just trying to get to their school. I made it to pick up the kids at a location that was safe. They ended up walking to a friend's house that was easier to get to. It took me 4 hours to pick them up. On the way home I was still stuck. There was a guy telling us to turn around so I did and I just found another way back home. It was a guy that was stuck in traffic ahead of me and he was being nice and saying to turn around or we would be waiting forever. He said it was a 2 hr wait. It took me 3 hours to get home. It was crazy. While being stuck I just parked and cleaned more snow off my car. I rolled down my window and talked with a guy in a car. Hey had to do something with my time.

The next day was a snow day. So I had fun and built a snowman with the girls.

Later in November it was my birthday. A friend and I bought tickets and we went to the Top of the Rock. The Top of the rock is one of the tallest places in New York and you can see the whole City. It was so beautiful. Its hard to describe but I hope the pictures do it justice. We went to lunch. We went to Time Square Diner and just had a fun birthday weekend. She also shares a November birthday.

Lastly, it was Thanksgiving weekend. The family I lived with went on vacation, so I asked a friend from the church I go to and I slept over with her for Thanksgiving weekend. Wednesday I took the train and walked to her apartment. We just had fun, talked, and watched Christmas movies. Thursday, we did some cooking. We made mashed potatoes, poke cake pumpkin style, and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade online. We were thinking of going, but it was super cold and we wanted to stay inside. For Thanksgiving dinner we walked to our Bishop's and had food at his apartment. It was nice since I got to get to know people in my ward better. Friday morning another girl in my ward came and stayed at my house, and we had fun. We did some Black Friday shopping. We went to Target, Mall and TJ Maxx. We went to a movie, Wreck It Ralph Breaks the Internet, and went out to dinner to Cosi. It's a soup, salad, and sandwich place. It was fun having a friend stay at my house.

Overall I had a fun November!
