So Steve and I just got back from our little road trip from his brother's house for Thanksgiving. It was pretty cool. I love road trips. It took about 8 hours to get there though. On the way down I slept most of the way. I kept just dozing off randomly while I was reading... it was crazy. We left around 0300 our time and got to Ft. Bragg around 1300. We did stop at a this rest stop that had a pretty overlook and took a few pictures. It was pretty chilly!
I chowed down on as much wheat-free goodness as I could. I tried to sneak a spoonful of the stuffing; trying all the while to ignore the memories of the inevitable stomach pains that would plague me later on, but Steve caught me. So I stuck to heapfuls of turkey, mashed potatoes, acorn squash (plenty of that for me; I've noticed a trend in the south away from healthy food), a cranberry concoction and deviled eggs. Yum. I had a nice conversation with Rebecca's (Steve's sister-in-law)mother and father. But after that I was kinda left to myself. Which is kinda normal I guess for a new person to a family. Everyone is getting caught up on the the years happenings and of course reminiscing so I kind of sat on the couch and smiled. I wanted Steve to have plenty of his time with his brother, whom I know he misses alot. I did miss being home but I'll see everyone for Christmas and they'll get to meet Steve so I'm super excited!

Olivia is a cutie-patootie. She is a few weeks older than Riley, my nephew. All in all I had a pretty good time.. Too bad we had to leave the next day, supposedly a storm was coming so we had to hurry home. But we might get snow! So hopefully more pictures to come!!
