It seems that everyone, well almost everyone is blogging about their Thanksgiving week. I must say I had a great one! I had the whole week off from work and I only had classes on Monday and Tuesday. YAY!
Wednesday I went to the temple in San Antonio, then that evening traveled the whole 45 minutes home and spent the next several days with my family! What good times we had.
This was our first Thanksgiving with my new Sister-in-law and she fits right into the family. We give her hard times but that is a sign of love. :) I can't forget the Turkey Bowl. I showed up thinking that I might sit on the sidelines with my little brother who had a cast because he had previously broken his arm playing football. But there were not that many people that showed up to play so I joined the team with my little brother and can I say my brothers rock the field. Seth and Benjamin. I would say that I did, well that really would be a lie. But I still had a good time. Even my little brother who is 11 and in a cast scored the last winning touchdown of our last game. And these guys didn't go easy on him, pushing him down even, I felt my big sister protection coming out a little wanting to punch the guy out but I resisted and rather threatened instead. :)
That night we watched the Texas and A&M game. I was the only one yelling and screaming as my little sister lying right next to me was sleeping through it. It was a fun game to watch as A&M was wiped clean off the field. Later I found out that two of my good friends had been online watching the game together and I wished I had joined in with them to comment on what was happening in the game.
Friday was my sisters birthday! The big 15. Oh my, I have come to realize that it is on my brothers and sisters birthdays when I feel like I actually age. So my sister knowing this little bit of knowledge kept on taunting me with the fact that she was going to be 15. I wanted to treat her like a princess on her birthday so we got all dressed up in Formal dresses and went to the movies to see Twilight. That is the movie she had wanted to see. Neither of us have actually read the books. The movie wasn't brilliant and at the same time it wasn't terrible. It just was. We showed up to the movie theater both of us feeling a little embarrassed, though I was trying my hardest not to show it. :) I told the guy we wanted to see Twilight and he said, "It's a good movie but you didn't have to get all dressed up for it." If I want to get dressed up on a random day don't I have the right!!!! I let him know it was my sisters birthday and I wanted her to feel special. He said ah, and I am sure talked about those crazy girls with his co workers who were all dressed up going to the movie theater. To bad I wasn't in Austin. I could have just said I was doing my part to Keep Austin Weird! Unfortunately Bastrop, TX does not have that same slogan. Darn it!
Saturday night was awesome. I got together with a bunch of girls and one guy and we watched the OU vs. Oklamhoma State game. We spent a lot of our time debating who we should actually cheer for, knowing that we did not want to cheer for either. I finally decided to cheer for good plays. We decided we wanted OU to win but only by a few points 3-4 would have been grand. It was like that until about the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter when all of a sudden Oklahoma State left the field and OU decided to take advantage. They played a good game up until that point. But it was still a good time, laughing and realizing how funny it was that here we were a bunch of girls watching football and wondering why only one guy was there? Does that seem right. You would think Football and girls would bring in the guys? :) Let me tell you that one guy is one of the smartest guys I know. Plus it was great food!
One of my friends is absolutely hilarious, she takes regular life and tells a story about it and she has you laughing like crazy. I think she would make a great stand up comedian.
Stand up comedy:
Have you ever been to a Football game with girls?
ShaRay: Kari and Wilber are enjoying married... Stop him, Stop him!!!
Carina: Yeah!... What about Kari and Wilber?
Carina: Are Marquel and Braden dating? Whoooooooo!
Tarsha: TOUCHDOWN!!!!! They seem to spend a lot of time together?
Elisa: 2 point conversion YAH! They have been on at least 6 dates!
Marcus: What did I get myself into?
;)
So my week in a nutshell Football, Food, Family, and Friends! I don't know if a week can get much better than that?

I love the stand up comedy! So funny! And those are the four F's that I'm thankful for too: Football, Food, Family, and Friends!
Your blogs are a delight to read. I agree- "Marcus" was the smartest man on the planet Saturday. I loved his observation- "How did we go from talking about the BCS to dating?"
Don't bother reading the Twilight books. Despite the hype they are not good. I read three of four because my friends kept telling me they'd get better, but they didn't.
You dressed up like Princess'! I remember doing that with you! It was so much fun. Don't be embarrassed it's totally the best fun I've ever had. XD
I love how you changed everyone's names, and even though I wasn't there, I know exactly who you are talking about. :)
It is so great to read about my other family. It feels Like a million years since I have seen you all.
