Friday's Fabulous Finds

This post is long overdo. I have been thinking about it for weeks and have not gotten around to posting it yet. But here it goes. This post is dedicated to all of the Fabulous Friday Finds of November. I promise, I did do them....I just didn't find the time to write about them.

November 4
The first fabulous find on the month was one of my all time favorites. For you see, it happens to be the day that I went through the temple. It was an amazing experience and I have gone back often. My favorite part of the day was the peace and joy that I found by just being there. I know that it was the right course of action for me to take and that going back often is how I can feel that same peace and joy again. I also loved being in the celestial room and finding those I loved around me. It brought me great joy to know that we could all be there together and together through the eternities. There is no other place like that of the Temple.

This Friday find I owe to one of my best friends, Brett Brown. She is the one who introduced me to this place and I fell in love with it immediately. It is called Pizzaria Lemone. Now this is not your ordinary pizza place. This place is an Italian restaurant. The decor is pretty cool with the map of Italy on the wall and the wooden tables and low lighting. Plus their pizza and salads are divine and best of all, freshly made. You first walk in and pick your pizza from a variety of choices on the menu on the wall. Then they hand toss the dough and make your pizza right then. Freshly tossed and mixed salads are prepared as well. I got the Viola pizza. It has blackberries on it which I though was weird at first, but they totally made the pizza. It gave it this sweet tangy taste. I enjoyed the meal and the company and I will defiantly be going back again.

This Friday's find is dedicated to the simple joys of life. Things like clean laundry, fresh baked cookies, your favorite song on the radio, a message from a friend, and so many more. Todays simple joy and Friday find came from the candy jar at work. More specifically the bag to refill the candy jar. It was a bag of tootsie rolls, gum drops, and tootsie pops. The jar was pretty empty, as it is after every few days of kids taking candy, and I grabbed the bag to refill it. I was pulling treats out and happened to come across a color of tootsie pop that I had never had. I was looking at the package wondering what flavor it was and soon read that is was pomegranate. I sat for a moment wondering if I had ever come across a pomegranate tootsie pop before and knew that I hadn't. It made me smile to find something so simple and new to brighten the day. And of course I quickly ate it and enjoyed every moment it lasted. It was a small and simple joy and if you ever come across one, let me know. I would love to have another.

This Friday was full of all kinds of fabulous finds seeing as it was Black Friday and we had some shopping to do. Technically our finds started Thursday night as we headed over to Walmart for the deals that started at 10:00 pm. there we found a Wii game (which I almost died getting) and some other gifts. From there we headed to Target were we stood outside for over an hour for their deals that started at midnight. Wendi and I stood in line with some pretty fun girls and the time soon flew by. When it was our time to enter the store we went straight to the movies and got loads of good deals. We also left with a game for Chris, PJ's, and a cake mix for the next day. After Target we went and switched the car for the truck and then headed to Sears in Ogden. We waited again out is the cold and soon got inside for the gifts we were after. From sears we went back and dropped off the gifts and then headed to Beto's for breakfast since it was 6am at that point. The morning ended with a long hot shower and then crawling into bed at about 6:30. It was a great night full of laughter, fun, and memories to last a lifetime. And if you ever decide to go Black Friday shopping here are a few tips:
*Make a plan of what you want and what stores everything is at. This way you know what you are after and where you need to head.
*Go in a group. It is always better to be with a few people for varies reasons which include taking shifts in the cold and splitting up to get the gifts you want in a store.
*Take cell phones. You will need a way to contact the people in your group.
*Warm clothes are a must. Layers are the best.
*If you just want to hit one store I would suggest Target. They are very organized and have a great system set up.

All in all the Friday finds of November were pretty Fabulous. I enjoyed them every one and will start doing Fabulous Finds again in January. December is a bit busy and pretty full of events, family, and friends.
