Birthday, thanksgiving,and not much else

My birthday was the past week, thanks to all who sent me birthday wishes. I didn't do much to celebrate the big day. I have learned long ago that having a birthday so close to a holiday makes it hard to celebrate since everyone is always off visiting relatives and such.

But anyway I did go out to dinner with my parents, my brother and his fiance and my nephew. It was a good dinner I treated myself to a steak which I never do and also got a free dessert since it was my b-day. Andrew picked it out and it was the weirdest one on the menu and wasn't the best but a free dessert is good no matter what. Later in the evening I went over to scott and steph's and hung out with them and a couple of their friends. Their dog Hank is my new favorite dog. He is so nice and soft and just wants to be petted.

Did anyone notice that I said my brother and his fiance....yep my brother got engaged on the day before my birthday. So now both my sister and brother are getting married. I am very happy for both my siblings.

Thanksgiving was spent at my mom and dad's house. My grandparents and their dog spud were there along with my brother, steph and andrew. The turkey was yummy although I thought that my parents were going to burn the house down. somehow the oven got really smokey and wouldn't stop. Andrew told everybody to get low to the ground and cover your mouths so that you don't enhale smoke. Glad he is learning what to do in case of a house fire


The rest of the weekend was pretty mellow, I think it is the first time since I have been home that I haven't had any plans on a weekend. It was nice to just chill at home.
