I had a lovely Thanksgiving! I went to Bobby's house and hung out with his family. His brothers have gotten a little more comfortable with me and their personalities are coming out a little more... Ha ha ha... Thanksgiving food in Alabama is mostly the same. The biggest difference is that the stuffing is made with cornbread so the texture is WAY different than I'm used to. It was good though. We had the usual turkey, sweet potatoes and rolls. We also had twice baked potatoes and homemade creamed corn and of course pie. We watched football and then skyped with my entire family which was super fun. It made me miss home, but at the same time I was happy to be able to celebrate with Bobby's family. On Sunday I was invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with Tracy's family. Oh my gosh. I love her family. They all made me feel so at home and I got so many hugs! My heart was just so full afterwards! The food was fantastic there as well. The stuffing had artichokes and cranberries in it and was to die for. Tracy's sister made this squash casserole with zucchini (I don't like squash OR zucchini) and it was so delicious! And we had coconut custard pie for dessert. So yummy.
December 9th will mark the 3 year anniversary of my friend Tiffany's death. I started getting nightmares of people that I love being killed in violent ways. I think it's because of the way that Tiffy was killed and it being that time of year. It's kind of hard going through it without my family/friends who knew her around me. My sister sent me a special package though so I'm excited to get that and see what sort of treasures she sent me :) I've been super bad at emails and everything, so if you've emailed me, sorry! I just haven't had time to get here to Starbucks to reply and I don't want to be here all night so I don't get all of them replied to. I do appreciate emails and FB messages. They remind me of home and make me feel like I'm being thought about :)
