The Best Thanksgiving Yet

This past weekend was awesome. The only downside was having to come home alone, but I will survive. I hopped on the bus after class, and was under the impression that L. & D. were going to pick me up, but Jackie was done school early so she was going to pick me up. Guess who decided to surprise me. I had butterflies when I realized that it was W. He made my day. We went to Jackie's for a bit before heading North. We hung out waiting for a guy that D. wanted to buy a car from. The EXACT same car as ours, she bought it. So we went to the house, then to White Spot for dinner. 
Saturday we met up with Q. A. and my Dad at the car auction. We hung out with them for a bit then I had to return to my lesson planning hell. I stayed up until midnight creating a delicious caramel apple cheesecake. W. made a brine for the turkey, and took over the turkey cooking all day Sunday. We were woken by the damn beagle next door, which put everyone in a bad mood for about 20 minutes. We had the house to ourselves for a while so we relaxed, and went for a walk to the beach. It was a beautiful day. We made a few trips to the store, but managed to get the turkey in before 1. W. basted it religiously every 45 minutes. It was the best turkey ever!

We weren't all feeling the love of pictures...(weird profile shadow!)

The highlight of the whole weekend was Walnut the cat bringing me a live bird while I was preparing to have a shower. I screamed as it flew at my head, and W. came and saved me. It was good for entertainment at least!
