I spent the day with the man I'm going to marry. We went to his mother's house and had brunch with his mom, little sisters, and younger brother. We made omelettes, well, he made omelettes for us. We cooked and made an apple pie (it was my one request) and then we talked and laughed and shared a cup of coffee. We tried to play Go Fish, and had a skype date with someone we ALL love very much, who couldn't be here with us for this Day. It is amazing to me, the way that technology can bring us together.
We cut up deer ribs from a cooler, with a saw. I helped to wash them, it was pretty awesome, won't lie. We packed up, and we went to our house. We cooked more food there, and played a Biblical Version of Clue (which I found out I'm very not good at).

Never once did we sit down to dinner. Never once did I feel pressured. Never once did I say out loud what I was thankful for, they all knew. We all enjoyed one another's company, and laughed at my fiance when he tried to open a bag of chocolate chips and they burst all over the floor. I cooked with the woman who raised the man I'm going to marry. She taught me, and brought up a butt ton of food for Blair (because I don't think he knows that he has to go grocery shopping to have food...)

It was nice to have people at my house, and even though I didn't have a "traditional" Thanksgiving, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it was up there on the Top 10 list. I missed my older brothers, their wives, and their children, but I'm learning that I'm part of a new family, and as much as I missed them, I wouldn't trade the memories I made yesterday. Not at all.:)

| Three people can fit in my kitchen! Praise the Lord! |

| Games later that night. A new one! My family would LOVE this! |
