Turkey Day & Ten Years and Counting

November 27th - November 30th

Thanksgiving week is always crazy. Just like everyone else there, there is always so much to do and never enough time to do it.  This year was no different than any other year. Our awesome friends, Mathis & Nicki made the trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving week. We had a great time hanging out, catching up and being silly for the first part of the week.

On Wednesday, we kicked them out of the house so we could have our Annual Video Thanksgiving. We absolutely love hosting Video Thanksgiving and I am so glad that all the students made it.

Thanksgiving morning was relaxing and low key. We slept in, watched The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Mathis and Nicki made us a great big breakfast. Mathis had gotten up at 4 am to start smoking the turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner.

We spent the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen cooking, watching football and fixing appliances.

Around 4pm we headed over to Joe and Lisa's for Thanksgiving dinner. Jed fried the second turkey out back while everyone was busy with final touched for dinner.

It was a successful Thanksgiving and I think everyone had a great time.

 

Friday we spent at a basketball game, shopping and getting ready for the big game on Saturday.

Saturday was game day and Derley, Mathis, Nicki, Danielle & I got up and out early on Saturday morning so we could do a little tailgating before the big game.

It was probably the most stressful game of the season for me this year. I am so glad that we got to go, we won and Mathis and Nicki now truly understand the Tech-UVA rivalry.

 It is so crazy to think that we have bet UVA the past 10 years straight! That is a long freaking time. Here is to another 10 + years with the Commonwealth Cup.

After the game, we went to see Jed before we all headed back to Blacksburg. I love going to see him after this game. We both have so many memories that surround this game and I love seeing him so excited and remembering all the games and stories that go along with this game.

Congratulations Hokies!
