Thanksgiving

Ahh, Thanksgiving. I love it. The holiday that starts the holiday season and so far, it's a good beginning. We went to Michael's aunt's house this year. It worked out very well. I always enjoy these times. We don't see all of Michael's family very often and so it's a good time to get together for a visit. Dinner was delicious and we stayed for awhile afterwards talking and playing with Michael's cousin's dogs. They're so darn cute together (it's made us want a little guy for Sammy). This long weekend has been a relaxing weekend. We put up the tree last night. I love having the tree up. I want to put the rest of the decorations up but I have to do some schoolwork that I've been putting off....although I'm sure I'll try and cram everything in today. It's raining outside. Definitely not the weather I'm used to for the holidays. I wanted a fire this weekend but it was too warm. Michael even wanted to take the bike out. I'll just cross my fingers and hope for snow for Christmas.

In BIG news, Jeremy came home on Thanksgiving day! I am so happy. Jaime and Lucas were able to visit him for about an hour when he came in that evening. He's at Atterbury now going through the demobilizing process, which should be done by Tuesday. Hopefully we'll get up there today to see him, the last couple of days have been busy for him there and so we haven't gotten the chance. It's just good to know he's safe and on U.S. soil.
