A Thanksgiving like no other!

For our Thanksgiving we did the same thing we do every day. We were woken up by Jeremy around 6:15 am, Shane got up to eat breakfast while I made him a lunch to take to campus. Then Shane left for campus while I stayed home and hung out with Jeremy. This is the story of my life. We did have "big plans" to go to the University pool but that fell through since it rained ALL DAY. So we went and got an ice cream sundae with some friends instead. The night ended with Shane coming home just in time for dinner, which was actually breakfast (Thursday night is breakfast night)! The night ended with a bang! AKA Shane studying in the bedroom while I watch an episode of Dawson's Creek online, good times!

But really the next night was the party! Our friends/neighbors decided to do a Thanksgiving meal on Friday night. It was bring your own meat (since a turkey costs an arm and a leg) and a side to share. The food was delicious! For us, the menu included smoked turkey (the lunch meat), stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, cheesy broccoli casserole, two pies, a blackberry cheesecake, and Jeremy's favorite the red jello. We contributed the stuffing and cheesecake, which were both delicious if I do say so myself :) It was a great night of food and friends that ended in seeing which kid could do the most push-ups! Now that's a party! I am so glad we were able to celebrate with our family away from home!

On Saturday we had the Significant Other's Closing Social. It was a blast! Shane and I paid about 10 US dollars at the beginning of the term so that we didn't have to pay for each event individually. It was so worth it because the food at the closing social was easily 50$ a plate! It was held at a hotel restaurant/pool. It's so cool because all the restaurants here are outdoor restaurants with pools right next to them and beach access right next to the pools. Talk about F-U-N! They also had two Grenadians giving tube rides on the ocean so Shane and I left Jeremy with Kensi (if you don't know who this is by now, you just should) and went out and rode on a tube together! It was so much fun! Shane and I were laughing the whole time because the boat drivers were crazy! Needless to say, I had the taste of salt in my mouth for awhile and could barely keep my eyes open! Jeremy loved it too! Even without a nap he was a trooper! He loves the water so much!

Sorry it's so blurry! The amazing food/husband!

All in all it was a great Thanksgiving! Being here really has helped me appreciate the little things!
P.S. Did I tell you that when Jeremy and I met Shane on campus for lunch Jeremy opened this locker and got inside? I told Shane this is not good. You know it's a bad sign when he's shoving himself into a locker!
