SERIOUSLY, someone help us. I’m going crazy with our blog. ISAIAH, WHERE ARE YOU?
Well, here’s our Thanksgiving update: Rick’s family pulled into our driveway at about 8:30 pm last Wednesday. Rick and I had been watching T.V. (episodes of “Monk”) and I still needed to clean the house, but Rick promised me that his family wouldn’t be in until at least 11. So I kept thinking, “I’ve got time.” WELL, they were early, which turned out to be fine, but I didn’t get the kitchen or our bedroom to be as clean as I wanted them to be. Thankfully, Rick’s family is extremely easy to impress. They loved our little abode.
On Thanksgiving Day, Rick’s mom and Kenny (her husband) went to visit Kenny’s family in Rayville while Amanda (Rick’s sister) helped me prepare Thanksgiving dinner. She is good at peeling potatoes. 
She also set the table and made it quite lovely. Everything got done in time EXCEPT for the turkey. We decided to just pull it out and assume that it was done by 4 because we were getting really hungry. My pumpkin pie crust impressed the whole family. There were five people and I made four pies. You can’t make TOO many pies, can you?
Rick’s family left on Sunday morning. We had a great time with ‘em. I hope to do it again next year.
I’m looking forward to:
Rick’s Paycheck (tomorrow)
Auditioning for the ULM orchestra (Dec. 7)
Going to Spokane (Dec. 9)
Taking the ACT (Dec. 11)
Going to Salem (Dec. 12)
and everything after that.
