Thanksgiving
The main person I look forward to seeing when all the relatives get together, was absent. My cousin Jessica is one, of two people, that make getting together with my crazy extended family seem less crazy. So, I was pretty bummed she couldn't make it down from Virginia for the day. She has to be so studious, going to an awesome school and whatnot. The day took a turn for the amazing though when my older cousin Mikeal (that's the correct spelling, I believe...) showed up with his girlfriend, her daughter, and their new baby girl Emma. Mike, who was the stepson of my Uncle Rusty, usually spends holidays with his mom so we hardly get to see him. Seeing him and his family was a complete surprise. Just when I was ready to be glum (on the inside of course) about Thanksgiving Mike comes along. Anyway, the day was good. Ate, talked, watched football, hung with fam.
