Thanksgiving Fun…
admin November 29th, 2004
What a great break Jared and I had. The few days of Thanksgiving break were much needed and much appreciated. We headed to Emden on Wednesday night…and hit snow just south of Springfield. It was crazy-go-nuts! We made it safely though, just in time for some fresh cookies and sleep. Thursday we spent Thanksgiving with my Grandma and the rest of our family…in Emden. It was the first holiday without Grandpa, so it was tough, but we made it. After lunch, supper and some visiting, mom, Greg, Jared and I went to see Christmas with the Kranks. It was really cute. Not the best movie ever…but it gives you that happy “holiday feeling” in your tummy. Friday morning mom, Grandma and I braved some shopping in Bloomington. I didn’t really buy any gifts though…just all the wrapping paper and gift wrapping stuff. It was a lot of fun though. Friday night Jared and I headed back into Bloomington and hung out with some long-lost friends (aka: the Shandley’s and Cox’s) It was sooo much fun! We played Scene-It, ate Tobin’s pizza and looked at each other’s wedding albums. I sure do miss those guys. Saturday we slept in and were bums for most of the morning. Saturday evening we went to Jared’s cousin Mandi’s wedding…in Bloomington of course. It was a lot of fun too. It was nice to see his family and just enjoy ourselves for the night. I had a new black dress that I broke in….and Jared looked super spiffy in his suit. There was much dancing and fun had by all. Sunday we went to church at Vale and enjoyed a scrumptrulescent lunch at Famous Daves (drooool….). We made another stop at Jared’s mom’s house and had the chance to hang out with his sister and our nieces too. (They’re too cute!) We taught them how to play Dance Dance Revolution and had yet another Thanksgiving meal. Yay for pumpkin pie! After we got our things packed up at my parent’s house…we finally headed back to Greenville. We made it home around midnight and got a good night’s sleep. We were awakened though…around 7:00 a.m….by a big ol’ nasty black hornet. Worry not…my hero (Jared) killed it! I think that pretty much brings you up to date with our lives. Tonight is apartment cleaning and tomorrow we’re putting up the Christmas decorations. Yay for Christmas decorations! Adios!
