PHX

Back in the office today!  It was nice to have HUMP Day off, but the semester ends in 2 weeks so we are down to the wire!  The snow is still on the ground... It is deep and very wet today.  I was happy to be wearing my boots today. 


So where did I leave you?  Oh YES!  So on Thanksgiving Morning- My Uncle and I headed off to Church!  My Grammy has always been a big "You have a lot to be Thankful for- so Go to Church on Thanksgiving" kind of person.  I had a nice time at church with my Uncle and the man who usually sits next to him was perplexed that this woman was sitting next to my uncle.  After church, my uncle introduced me to Dexter and said that I was his niece who was visiting for the holiday.  Dexter replied by saying "Good.  Because I would hate for you to have some woman in the seat that your wife usually sits in.  This puts me in a bad position!"  Ha I love it!  That is the typical response when strangers see me with my older big headed loving brother!  It has to be because we look NOTHING alike~


After church, we headed back to the house and had a great breakfast.  If you have never had Bubbling Bread- Find it and eat it!  I love it and haven't had it in years.  My Grammy stopped making that a long time ago.  I will try to find the recipe and post that soon!  We had a scrumptious dinner!  My Aunt did a fantastic job!  It was so nice to spend the holiday with family!  People who really know you and have seen you grow up.  My cousins pestered me the WHOLE time that I was there.  Is it because they don't have a sister and was their adopted sister for a few days?  POSSIBLY! 


After dinner (and a rest)- We did my favorite holiday past time!  FAMILY GAMES!  I am a nerd.  I play Words with Friends on my iPhone daily!  I love to read and I am decent with word games.  My Aunt and Cousins told me that no one beats my uncle but low and behold I came in and whooped up on him pretty good.  We played Boggle which is a game that my family plays when together. 


I have to run but I will finish my last day in Phoenix talking about Black Friday and some of my purchases... I just checked my bank statement today and I am still hurting from the damage!
