Thankful for Family!

Checking out Cincinnati's campus. It is so cool because it is all right there way compacted! It was raining so we were freezing and took a running tour but what we saw of it was cool!
So we accidentally left our turkey out all day and night so Thanksgiving morning we were pretty nervous about using it but we called the turkey expert aka my dad and he said we should be fine? So we took a gamble and cooked it and it was delicous and luckily no one got sick!!


The FEAST!!


I am so grateful for family especially around the holidays. We didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving but we did get to go to Cincinnati to stay with my cousins and it was so much fun!! We have such funny cousins and we loved being able to hang out with them and their dang cute kids for the whole week! We got there late Tuesday night and when we pulled up to their house Jake started pounding the candy because he felt like his sugar was low and he kept saying he did not want my cousins to see him with his sugar low. We go inside and start to chat and I realize Jake's sugar is low so my cousin starts making some juice and I give Jake his tester. Jake of course denies it and will not drink anything he just keeps insisting that he is fine. Luckily he drank a capri sun but it did not seem to work and Jake kept getting more crazy. He was wrapping his arms around my cousin and winking at him telling him his sugar was not low- in a slow way with a weird accent. He then tried to chase the two year old. He was making everyone nervous because he was acting so wierd and I could not control him. He was jumping and snapping randomly then he would run over to my cousin and wink at him. Their girls were getting nervous and we could not get him to drink anything. Suddenly Jake hands me his wedding ring, shoes and socks and takes off running out the front door into the pitch black. I tried to hold on to him but he was too fast and he was around the corner before I knew what was happening! My cousin was ready to call an ambulance because we could not control Jake but luckily when we went running outside there was Jake walking back WAY embarrassed yelling that this was more embarrassing then being a BYU fan and then he admitted his darkest secret... he is now a Utah fan! Haha obviously he was still out of it but he did drink another juice and then he was fine! It was so funny!! We had a delicous Thanksgiving dinner and loved just relaxing and playing games with family! We are so grateful they invited us to share Thanksgiving with them!

Ok, you failed to mention the being a Utah fan part...that makes the story even better! I am really laughing so hard, I can just see it, well actually, I can't, but I would have liked to! Glad you had a fun time! 2 more weeks! Wahoo!!!
