Thanksgiving!

Why is that every time I post I am always so behind? lol Anyways, Thanksgiving break was GREAT! It was a MUCH needed rest from work. Of course any kind of break never seems long enough though. But it was still great.

On Thanksgiving, John and I stopped by my Residential Colleges Thanksgiving. We had it in our Master's apartment. One of the huge differences from working at NCSU and UM is that we have live-in faculty that work really closely with us and the RAs. Its a neat and great experience for students to have access to faculty outside of the classroom. They have AMAZING apartments too. Like as big as some ranch style houses. Kinda ridiculous, but awesome! lol. So we had Thanksgiving lunch there. It was delicious. Of course UM doesnt make any of the food like we would have at State, so we enjoyed catered Thanksgiving. YUMMY! lol. Thanksgiving at UM was kind of interesting though because a lot of our students and most that stayed for the break are foreign and dont celebrate Thanksgiving. That was just new to me, because back home everyone does! lol

Anyway, after Thanksgiving lunch John and I went back home for a bit and took a nap and watched football (of course!). Then we got up and headed to his Aunt Vicki's for Thanksgiving dinner. :D 2 Thanksgivings and I still didnt gain weight that week! WHOOP! lol. It was a really nice visit. It was nice to be with a little bit of family on Thanksgiving. It didnt really feel much like Thanksgiving though. It's supposed to be cold on Thanksgiving! I was wearing a tank top! LOL.

The rest of my four days off were great- we went to the beach and watched A LOT of football. Unfortunately, we lost to Maryland though. It made me really sad. I always laughed at the people that cried when they lost games- but Ill admit it, I cried a little. And not so much for the game, but because that meant John and I weren't going to be going back to NC for the game and seeing all our best friends :(.

But anyways, the overall 4 days off were great! :D
