Thanksgiving away from home

Yesterday was my first Thanksgiving away from home.  The first time I didn't see any of my family members on Thanksgiving day.  It was definitely different.  My boyfriend and I hung out at home in Lawrence to watch the NFL games.  His brother came over for dinner, which I had fixed both the day before and on Thanksgiving day itself.  It was a hit, and the spread was even similar to what I would have had in Nashville!  I got to Skype with my parents today, so I'm feeling less odd about not seeing them in person yesterday.  I guess this is what happens when you are an adult and you live 600 miles from your family.

Thanksgiving Break

In about 15 hours I'll be on my way to see my family for the first time since they moved me in.  I'm excited to see them, even though it will be strange without Max sleeping somewhere nearby.  I'm glad for the break from academics and the lab, since I've given up most of my last 3 weekends.  I'll miss my bunny though....

As usual, we'll be down in Vienna, GA, for our Thanksgiving celebration.  I love gettin' together with all my Parker relatives.  Plus there's always good home-cooked food involved!
