Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was so much fun. We decided to be brave and drive 16 HOURS EACH WAY to Hampstead North Carolina to see my sister, Trish, and her family. Of course Maci got sick the morning we left (it's this strange plague that follows us...every time we have a trip, Maci gets sick), but she did surprisingly well for that long trip. Question of the day: Have you ever been to West Virginia in the fall? It's breathtaking. The leaves were beautiful and inspiring me to do rooms in those colors (ha! Slapped back to reality, I live in an apartment). But really I loved it and am lucky that Jared didn't throw me out the window after the 90th time of hearing, "Look how pretty over there!" Other quick news: Maci dislocated her elbow on Thanksgiving Day (see the plague statement above), we went to the beach (it was mid-70's and we were the only ones there!), we went to one of the NC Aquariums, window shopping, to the movie Enchanted, and Chuck-E-Cheeses. My highlight of the week was when my nephew Isaac spent all of his hard earned Chuck-E-Cheese tickets to get Maci a princess crown from the prize cabinet. So sweet. Thanks Rick and Trish for all of the fun and especially Rick for letting us watch the office that night without kicking me out!

We were so excited when we moved to Pennsylvania because of the beautiful east coast autumns. And then we had a drought here this summer and the leaves were kind of lame. Maybe next year I'll get to witness it in it's full glory.
