Thanksgiving

Tuesday, December 29, 2009

I am behind on posting but since I have finished finals and that pesky paper I kept putting off it is time to catch up on the last few months events. For Thanksgiving John and I did some traveling. We went up to my family cabin in Melbourne, Arkansas for a few days. There is nothing like an outhouse and no running water to make you be thankful on thanksgiving. It was fun cooking with my mom and hanging out in the middle of nowhere as my dad hunted. My dad got a new four-wheeler so John and I took it for a spin down some fun back roads. On Thanksgiving day after we stuffed ourselves with my family we headed down to Searcy to eat with John and Donna. They had a large house full with all John's stepsisters and their kids in along with us and Philip. It was wonderful getting to meet Megan's new husband and later that week have them over at to see our house. We only get to see her every so often since she lives in Texas now, but it is worth the wait. The next day we went to Thanksgiving at John's Mom and got stuffed again. Our family sure feeds us well. That weekend we went to a family photo shoot Megan put together from her cousin in Jonesboro who came down and took Pictures in Dad and Donna's back yard of the entire family. John and I like the group photo but are a little disappointed with our individual photo, we wish we had been facing forward towards eachother so the picture didnt look so awkward. Oh well we did get a large family picture which hasnt happened for some time so I am excited about it. Now we will just have to make the rest of our family get one.
