Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was probably the biggest I've ever experienced...over 50 people and about 5 different nationalities represented. My good friends, the Davis's, hosted all of us to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. There were some fun preparations ahead of time that I was fortunate enough to be apart of. Shanna and Phil decided to rent a tent, so everyone would have a place to sit at some point during the night. The tent came the day before, so Shanna, Phil, and I had planned to set it up and get it all ready with tables, chairs, etc. Well, Shanna and I arrive to the house Wednesday to see the tent. Phil had been there while the men were putting it up. We walked to the back, took a look, and immediately looked at each other and both said almost in unison, "This just isn't going to work." Just wasn't what the 2 of us has envisioned. It was facing the wrong way. So how do we turn this thing 90 degrees? Naturally, we decided to move it all by ourselves. Why couldn't 2 women (one 7 months pregnant I might add) be capable of moving this ginormous tent, and why should we wait for Phil to get home? So, move it we did. It was quite a sight I must say. There were many times we wished someone was videoing the whole thing. At one point, there upstairs neighbor came out to see what in the world was going on...quite a funny picture. I have provided the before/after pics.




Today turned out wonderful. I have provided some pics below. We were even able to watch the Packers game!!! Despite the harassment I received throughout the game (by someone who will remain nameless), I managed to enjoy the game, and the Packers won! I would have stayed up to watch the Cowboy's game, but the whole time zone thing made that a little difficult. My brothers went to the game, so I figured my family was supporting enough for me by being there.

I Pray you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am overwhelmingly thankful for my family, for the support of so many of you, and the amazing community He has given me here! God has blessed me beyond measure...
