Somehow I ended up as the Safety Officer for our department at work, which leaves me in charge of conducting a monthly safety meeting. After our last one, I made everyone go around the table and say something they were thankful for. I got responses ranging from “my job” to “my family” to “God.” I closed, being thankful that I could look forward to enjoying Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Few people are that lucky. Joel stayed at home baking stuffin’ muffins (Tasty. Very Tasty.) and pumpkin bread while I worked on Wednesday. After work, we hopped in the car and headed north to his parent’s house. We had put on pajamas and were reading on the couch and visiting when the phone rang to announce that Chris and Carrie had gotten engaged!
Though we knew it was coming eventually, we were so excited we had to pull ourselves together and put pants back on to head out and celebrate. Since the first night we met her, we knew they’d get married. After a good night’s sleep, we arose and attempted to help in the preparations, but there was little left to do, so we visited with family.
Grandma and the Reeds came up, as well as Jesse who we adopted as family for the day. The meal was delicious, but the company is always better. The men folk tossed the football around, and the women complimented the Barbie tree and played Beatles
Monopoly.
