Thanksgiving Break

Well, I'm a little delayed, but oh well! Our Thanksgiving Break was started a week early. We went to Denver, CO for a Denver Bronco game! We drove there Saturday morning, went to the game on Sunday, then drove home Monday morning. It was a quick vacation, but it sure was fun! We went with my boss, Doug, his wife, Julie, their baby, Carly, and our friend Salome who babysat. We stayed at my 2nd cousin's house. Oh wow, it was so nice! They had a huge house, Andrew and I got to sleep on a water bed. Salome got the other bedroom. Doug and Julie slept on an air matress in their fun basement! They had a huge, huge television, with every gaming system you could even think of! Then they also had a dart board (ha ha, if you want a laugh have Andrew, Salome, and Doug show you their 'mad' skills), fuse ball table, pool table, and a hockey table. If you couldn't tell...we spent almost our whole vacation in the basement!



We went to the city on Sunday for the game. We parked at the Aquarium and walked over to the Mile High Stadium. We had to walk all the way around the stadium to get our tickets that were on will call. Since we got them half-price, we went through security, then got our tickets. Well...they didn't have any tickets under the name Andrew Hardy. Which was weird because he's the one that booked them. The card that had been used four or so months previously had now been destroyed so he couldn't run the card. Luckily, we had the confirmation number. As our last resort to get the tickets, we used that number. For some crazy reason, they had the tickets on hold for a Andrew Gayler. How crazy is that! Well, luckily Andrew brought along his wife, me, to show my ID and prove that it was my maiden name. The guy had a confused look on his face, said "Whatever..." and handed us our cards. Our seats were near the very top of the stadium, but they were still good seats. We had a lot of fun at the game, except for the fact that they had a terrible game! The drunk people that surrounded us were entertaining enough to distract me for most of the game lol.



We went home that night and Janine, my 2nd cousin, had fixed us another wonderful homecooked meal. She spoiled us with all the wonderful dinners, breakfasts, and desserts! When we woke up the next morning to head out and they had pulled out all of their cereal for us to have breakfast.

I couldn't be more thankful than to have such a wonderful family that allowed us to stay in their home! Thanks Chappie and Janine!

Thanksgiving was spent at my house. I made yams! They surprisingly turned out to be very delicious! I was so proud. Aunt Cherri, Aunt Coleen and Uncle Richard came up to our house to have our big feast. We ate til we were stuffed then had some fun playing board games while the boys played football. Andrew and I left shortly after to have dessert at his parent's house. We had a lot of fun at the Hardy's house.

We are very thankful for many things that we often take granted of: food, clothes, housing, jobs, education, family, friends, vehicles, electricity, religion, and many more.
