On Thanksgiving Eve...

I had many, many things to be thankful for. In the first two pictures, you see some pictures of my class performing the annual "Turkeys Go On Strike" play for our school. Unfortunately, it was the windiest (is that a word?) day of the year and my entire set fell apart that morning, so we had to resort to generic posters and a bunch of eigth graders holding up the back drop. In the end, the show must go on and the parents were very happy, which makes my boss happy!

After we had a class feast with all of the trimmings, actually the mom that cooked our turkey didn't time it right so we had to borrow another class' turkey while ours cooked, and then I took home that turkey which we ate yesterday- I'll get there in a minute. One mom had a cake made for our class, I had to share the picture because the message of the play is so great- everyone forgets what the true meaning of thanksgiving day is and the turkeys strike until some resolution is reached... funny funny!

Then.......
I drove down to LAX- I have never been so excited to sit in traffic or go to the airport on the busiest travel day of the year. Thad arrived at about 6:30, it was so amazing to see him walking off the escalator. He gave me a huge hug and said "we made it". It made me melt inside. Jessie and Mike, my hat goes off to you. You both amaze me with your strength and love for one another.

We went and grabbed dinner at one of our fav. restuarants in Venice beach and then came home. I have to be honest, I have been really nervous about him coming home for the last few days. I was really afraid things would be different living under the same roof again. But, I am happy to report, nothing has changed except that we may love each other more... at least thats my take on it.

He's excited to post too so look for that. Hope everyone had a great turkey day!
