Cold weather. Football. Eating things you only eat on Thanksgiving. Spending all day with your family. Watching my Mom freak out in the morning because she always is overwhelmed with how much food she has to make. Seeing how many people we can cram into Aunt Janet's house. Feeling awkward every time Uncle Allen makes us stand in a circle and name something we're thankful for. oh the joys....
Thanksgiving feels different in Tucson though. I'm just so use to being with the 1 million people in our family and watching all the little rugrats run around. I'll get use to it, I'm sure.
We're having a "Thanksgiving-for-people-who-don't-have-families-Thanksgiving". Basically there will be about 12 single twenty-somethings gathering together for yummy food, flag football and lots of laughing.
I have really cool friends.
Here's proof.
We went up to Mount Lemmon last night and all wore very colorful tacky outfits.
It's suppose to snow up there tonight, so we figured last night would be our final chance to drive up there in our little Hondas without chains and 4-wheel drive.
It was so much fun. We told creepy ghost stories and watched people make out in their cars.
yuck.
Here's a picture of my cute mom and I while she was in Tucson for her 50th birthday.
Obviously, we're at the Grand Canyon.
They aren't tricking you. It really is Grand.
Here's another cute picture of her. I had such a good time with her while she was here.
I'm wearing the same shirt in both of these pictures.
Same shirt.
Different days.
I love that woman. Hug her tomorrow. It's going to be a rough day for her.

nikki embarrassed my dad, talking about her upcoming surgery. ange said damn in front of the whole family. dad put the kids up in the tree and tied their shoe strings to the branches. we roasted marsh mellows. it was a good time.
I saw your mom at Kohls on black friday. I wanted her to steal me away. She was so cute.
ps.... you don't even like watching football.
Hey Bailey, I thought I'd return the blog love and leave a comment for you. Now I know- you followed the link from the comment I left on Don's Blog! (that's how you found my blog) I love the photo of you and your friends...they do look pretty cool! And, believe it or not, my sisters used to live in Tucson so I have been there a few times. Not since the early 80's though... Anyway, thanks again for visiting my blog and leaving a comment! It's good to know peeps outside my circle of friends enjoys what I have to say. Personally, I think some of my better posts were written almost a year ago- visit the archives when you get a chance! Take Care, Em
