Thanksgiving & Apple Cup

For Thanksgiving this year, I was invited to Matt's sister's house to share a wonderful meal! =) There was SO much food. And I had a wonderful time just being around people on the holidays - sure beat the last two years I spent in the PNW doing nothing for Thanksgiving dinner! Matt's family is so nice and welcoming, they really make me feel at home. Our lunch+dinner was actually a late lunch that extended into dinner, and ended with a couch full of lethargic people.

On Friday morning, we went tailgating at the Apple Cup in freezing-cold weather (literally). Time flew by, as it always does for tailgating! Tambi and I were falling asleep in our seats by the time we got to the game. Waking up that early and drinking is exhausting!! And the game wasn't as exciting as the Seahawks games we'd tailgated for in the past. My favorite part was probably the marching bands - I'd never before seen a marching band LIVE! My second favorite part was sitting behind a Cougars fan who spent ten minutes recording a panoramic photo wrong. She then handed it to the UW fan next to her, who recorded it properly for her. She took the phone back and tried for ten minutes more to record the panoramic photo and never got it right. LIKE SERIOUSLY!?!?! There's an arrow on the screen for a reason, dingus! Now I see why people make fun of WSU people, LOL. I also got to wear my fuzzy husky hat. The Huskies won and we went home happy.





The past 12 months have been fantastic, and I have more now to be thankful for than ever. I found the job of my dreams, which by the way is still going really well, and I've got a lease for a new apartment DT. Matt treats me SO well, and his family is awesome. <3 I am financially stable, with great benefits, and my family is healthy. I have my beautiful Al Pals and I've met so many sweet people in Seattle. Oh yeah, and I'm in the playoffs in my fantasy football league, BITCHES!!!! *gush*
