Thanksgiving :)

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Wednesday night Ryan & I went to Lafayette to celebrate my sister-in-laws 21st birthday. I was the sober driver for the crew that night. We had a lot of fun being back in Lafayette! The bars were very busy & we loved seeing old friends! I dropped the crew off at Ryan’s parents house & had to come back to Indy (my family thanksgiving was in Indy & Archie was at home) so I made my way back to Indy late Wednesday night by myself. I left around 1:30am and it took me approx 35 mins to get to Frankfort (usually 20 mins) because of all the rain. I did not go over 60mph the whole time. When I was almost to Frankfort I hydroplaned & spun around on the interstate 3 times & then I was pushed into a ditch. There were no cars around me (thank goodness) & I was not hurt. While I was spinning I thought my (Ryan’s) car was going to be totaled! When I finally stopped I called 911. I didn’t know where I was because I was focused on the road I wasn’t paying attention to mile markers (I drive this trip to often & was way to comfortable) so I didn’t know where to tell the police officers to find me. Ryan’s car has an in dash GPS so I told them roads I could see on the GPS. I could see a sign on the road & tried to go look at it but I was up to my knees in water & it was poring rain!! Eventually after 40 minutes the police officer found me J & then it took another 30 minutes for the tow truck to come! Finally when the tow truck got there he pulled our car out of the ditch & the car was fine besides one little spot on the bumper!! I know God was really looking out for me!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! I think because of the way my car was jolting and spinning I thought I was hitting things but I actually didn’t hit anything besides the ditch. I FEEL SO SO LUCKY TO be able to walk away from this & my car was OK! This night brought a new meaning to Thanksgiving! I feel ohhhh so THANKFUL!!
Thanksgiving with my family was great!! I spent the day with my family @ my Aunt Angie’s house (HI AUNT ANGIE :) ) the food was amazing & the company was great. My family is hilarious. My grandma leads the pack with her goofy personality (she is an amazing person!!) & my uncles pick on each other the whole day. My uncles’ talk about who has the greyest hairs, who looks younger, who is more fun etc… but it is hilarious to hear them talk to each other like they are children. My stomach was so full with all the great food & then I went to Lafayette for Ryan’s family’s Thanksgiving. They had tons of food but I was so full from my aunt’s thanksgiving that I didn’t eat until 8pm again. I got to see baby Noah again. He is so adorable, he is growing so fast. I love Ryan’s family so much!! Since I’ve been around for years they all treat me as part of the family! We played card games all day & watched the football games!!
Today I am working until noon. I woke up at 5 am to go shopping for 1 hour before I had to go to work. I went to Target & Walmart & got a carwash (had so much grass under my car from the crash) all in 1 hr. J I got 11 new DVDs for Ryan (all $1.96), a couple presents for people, a speaker for my ipod,<--Ry’s mom is giving me for Christmas, a dice game, picture frames! I felt very accomplished for an hour of time LOL.
Tonight we are going back to Lafayette. TOMORROW IS THE PU vs. IU FOOTBALL game!!!!! I am so excited. This is my favorite game of the season!!! GO BOILERS!!!! We are having a big family tailgate with Ryan’s dad’s family. We have four parking passes (Thanks Becky!!!) and we are going to have a huge tailgate!! I’m so excited… did I already say that!! Ryan made 400 jello shots & I’m making a big punch… here is the recipe: 1 package Kool-Aid® Cherry mix, 1 package Kool-Aid® Strawberry mix, 6 ozfrozen orange juice, 6 ozfrozen lemonade, 2 qt water, 2 cups sugar, 2 qt ice, 1 1/2 cups vodka, 1 1/2 cups white rum, 2 liters ginger ale, 1 bottle Champagne- Sounds crazy, I know! I’m hoping it taste awesome! Also I am making taco dip, cookies & brownies. THERE WILL BE PICTURES TO COME!!
