Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello! I'm out on our property right now. No internet connection, no Starbucks, not even a phone charger! (oops...heh.)

I just wanted to say hi and Happy Thanksgiving while I was out here. It's a much more interesting event writing a blog out here even though I cannot post it yet.

I had an awesome time out here. We got here and forgot our keys to our cabin so we had to go searching the other houses to see if anyone else kept a key. Luckily, and obviously, they did. When we got inside it was freezing! Staying out of a cabin/mobile home for so long keeps all the odd air inside. We had snake tails on sticky traps and dead wasps everywhere. Thats the country for you. Plus acorns. Tons of them. In pantries, on mattresses, in air vents, in shoes. The hollowed out acorns never fail us everytime we stop by here.

Finally around noontime, our big lunch hit. We gathered ourselves and walked down our dirt road to my grandpa's house where all our family brought the most awesome food in the world. Sadly, my grandpa didn't make the jalepeno turkey again this year. We had some good honey ham though. Let me see...turkey, 2 things of dressing, cranberry sauce out of a can, little dill pickles, corn on the cob, veggie tray, cauliflower casserole, green bean salad, something with peas, rolls, peanut butter fudge, banana cookies, chocolate covered nuts, and pumpkin pie. Ooh and plenty of flavored Kool-Aid and well water. Yum.

We're not huge on the "preparing for 2 nights" sort of thing but all that food was awesome.

I got to see my family too, which was pretty cool. It's one thing hearing about how everyone's doing but its another to actually see how much they've changed since the last time you've seen them. My cousin's 13! He's actually cleaned himself up and started acting like a human instead of some crazy child! My little cousins are still pretty much the same. They're making guns out of window panes and throwing cats off the porch (we have tons of cats out here).

But really the biggest thing I wanted to say is happy thanksgiving. Like I said, I thank God for sending the Pilgrims over here for some heavy feasting. Feasting's an awesome concept and I wish I could shake hands with whoever invented it. I'd also like to thank everyone who's stuck with me through the hyper times, the sick times, the depressive-like times, and even the I-think-she's-ignoring-us times. I couldn't and probably wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for the awesome support and fans I have. (Also a big shout-out to my assistant, Bobby. Seriously, I probably would be in shambles [failing classes, still working in the awful office] if it weren't for him.) Also a big thanks for justin.tv. The site has changed so much from when I started last October. It's gained so much publicity and just because of all the updates and community events, small people like me can quickly gain a social network!

So, a big "We're no strangers to love..." to all of y'all. I love every one of you and hope that everyone has a great holiday season. Keep in touch!
