Just as quickly as Ironman was over, Thanksgiving was here. I spent the day cleaning, putting my life back in order, and eating with Amy's family. It was a nice day.
On Friday, I headed to Magic Mountain in Southern California with 16 other people. (I have gone to Magic Mountain every year for the last 4 years!) Some of them I knew, some were new faces. We loaded up about 4:45AM and drove over to the park. We stayed until it closed at 8 PM! We rode almost all the roller coasters - and some multiple times. One of my favorites, Goliath, I rode 5 times! The fifth time was a stretch but I was coaxed by my fellow riders to stay on the ride. The last three times we rode, we didn't even get off because there was no one waiting in line! It was a great way to end the evening. We stayed in a hotel that night and then headed back first thing on Saturday morning to get people back that needed to be back. It was a great trip! I had a great time and I met some great people!
(I love roller coasters! This is Goliath!)Now, it is back to life and work. I'm getting ready to put all my Christmas decorations up, too! That is always fun!
Hope you each had time to reflect on all you have to be thankful for and are looking forward to celebrating the birth of our Saviour this Christmas season!
(ps - my foot is all better!)

Glad things went so well with the Ironman!! Magic Mountain sounds like a blast!! Sisters weekend???? LOL
Chica, congrats again on the Ironman. The last time I went to Magic Mountain was in Summer 2004 with Lori Chadwick and Kimberly James. I got motion sickness early on, so I took some pills and took a nap on a random stone pathway. Guess old age has robbed me of my earlier ability to enjoy rollercoasters with reckless abandon.
Sounds like a great week behind you. Enjoy your Christmas season and the celebration of Christ!
Glad to hear everything went so smoothly for Ironman!
Were looking forward to seeing you sometime over the holidays!
