Double Thanksgiving.

So this is my first year Married, and this is my first holiday season not being a bachelor. Not that I have been single for the past 2 years. Just not everything is official and recognized by the state. So some of the hiccups of all of this is the fact that I have two sides to my family. My side and the wifes side. I got it off easy for thanksgiving this year since some of my family is not going to be in town this year. So we got to have a big thanksgiving meal over at my brothers house with his family and my parents. We ate allot and are heavier for it. Then thanksgiving day we will be with Cassie's family.
This will be a good year for us. Next year we will have a whole new mess since both family's are so close and and of course both of us get along with our families we will be all over. So hopefully next year our financial status will be better than it is this year so that we can afford the gas from driving all over town.
But it feels good to have started into this holiday season. I have found that I am enjoying the thought of having 2 thanksgiving meals on two separate days. That way I get to enjoy both families cooking and I don't have to conserve my stomach for another big meal later that day.
Happy holidays to everyone.

Family Fun.

Well I was just thinking. I love spending time with family. It's fun to kid around with them. Laugh with them and like all your other friends, it's fun to just be around them. Even if it's the most boring movie in the world you will get something out of it. Even if it is an inside joke that no one else will ever understand. I have always had that with my family. I love all my siblings. My brother Josh has always been my caretaker. My sister Genny has always been my workout partner even if it's 300 miles away, and my sister Jaime has always been my voice of reason.
Well now I have more family. Over the past Few weeks I have been able to hang out with my two new sisters, or more to the fact Sister-in-laws. We have painted pumpkins and watched movies and done all sorts of fun things. Although I do not yet fully know what roles they will play in my life I know that they will.
Ha! Now if only I can get them to play more video games with me. Love you all.
