Thanksgiving Weekend (Finally!)

This is me... finally getting around to doing a Thanksgiving weekend post a week late.. haha.. Sheez. 

Anyhoodle... 

Thanksgiving itself was great! I am so bummed that I didn't take a single photo, though. This was a big year b/c my mom and Eric's familia finally met! (I know I know...you're saying what all of our friends said to us face to face.."They haven't met yet and you've been dating HOW long?!" haha). Anyway, my mom and I went out to Eric's parent's house for some fabulous food and festivities. Although I probably took a year off my life worrying about how it was going to go, everything went totally fine. I'm such a worry wart about dumb things sometimes. I also had wine. That helps. I talk a lot about wine on here, don't I? haha... Whatever. Anyway, many blessings and things to be thankful for, especially the company. :)

Friday, TU had an early (11am) game, so we opted to have a breakfast tailgate. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, bacon, biscuits, gravy, you name it... Good stuff, people. :) It was a little windy and cold, but we had a good time nonetheless. :)

And Blaze was in town from Dallas! I miss this chick! :)

Maddox was very excited about his first TU game.. future alumni in the making. ;) 

Sadly, TU was not victorious. :(

Friday night, Lauren and I had a girls night of wine and sushi! She was in town from the Chi. :)

We didn't mean to color coordinate. 

Saturday night, Eric and I headed out to have dinner for our three year dating anniversary! :) It's actually kinda weird b/c we went on our first DATE on July 26. Soooo we've technically been dating 3.5 years. But, he was kinda loosely dating some other unimportant hussy girl and I went on a couple dates with someone else, so we called it "official" the weekend of Thanksgiving. Silly, right? We're both very stubborn people who were afraid to fall for each other...or at least admit we were falling...haha... I remember it being something like "I don't want you to date anyone else." And then "Well, I dont want YOU to date anyone else." And then "Okay, well... let's just agree that we're dating only each other.".... "Okay, I'm okay with that." haha...

Soooo, we had a good time at a new, local restaurant, Juniper, and then we talked about it and decided we kinda both want to celebrate our anniversary in July... haha. Yeah, I'm serious. So, we celebrated, had a great time, and then made an executive relationship decision to celebrate 4 years this July and officially make the switch over to Julyiversary. We're dumb. I know.

My roomie and I put our tree up on Monday! :) It's small (just about 6 feet) but it's the first time I've had a tree up in my OWN house that's bigger than just a little mini tree. :) The star has some issues staying upright. We just think it's quirky-cute and leave it. Our whole living room has gone festive-garland, candles, etc. I love it!

We may have listened to Ludachristmas while decorating. Yeah. We did.  I highly recommend if you're looking for hilarious randomness.

So, that was Thanksgiving plus some! :) Happy almost weekend, friends!
