Thanksgiving Excitement

This weekend was pretty exciting. I'm not used to extended weekends, and I'm not used to days so jam packed with things to do. The Girl and I went home for Thanksgiving for the first time since moving to Maryland. As an extra added benefit, our 10-year high school reunion also took place on Black Friday.

Thanksgiving proved one thing, as it does for many families; that my family is crazy. My aunt took the crazy crown this trip, stating that she was going to make her children (ten and thirteen) sit on Santa's lap so she could get a picture, and that they were going to do it because it was what she wanted, and she didn't care if they ended up hating her later in life. They will, rest assured.

The reunion (and associated activities) was more exciting, though. To quote a fun movie, "It was just as if everyone had swelled." I talked with some people who I never associated with in high school, really. Most importantly, we got to see George! We haven't seen him face-to-face since the wedding. It was awesome! He got drunk, the three of us hung out that Friday night, and we pretty much just had an awesome time being uncomfortable around a bunch of high school people, and comfortable with just a few.

Saturday, we hung out with George some more, as well as with another person I haven't seen in forever; Irene! I saw all sorts of people this weekend. George and Irene are just the same people they used to be, and it was just like old times. We're the ones who are different. The girl is pregnant, and I'm ten kinds of medical :-)
