Apparently I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. Eep...
Actually, I'm looking forward to it. I like to cook when I have a major reason, and my mom and grandma will be here to help me. My only concern? The kitchen in my apartment is small. There's not a lot of counter space, nor is there a lot of room for more than one person to maneuver around.
However, I'm not going to worry about any of that right now. Instead, I'm going to be excited. It's been about three years since I've actually celebrated Thanksgiving with my immediate family. Usually, I just go down to Kansas and spend it with my grandma because it's too hard to get my parents, brother and I all in one place for a few short days. But this year, my parents are flying into Kansas City, stopping to pick up my grandma in Kansas, and then driving up here to Lincoln. And they'll be here for five days. I can't wait to see them! I really hope my brother can come too, but who knows what his life will be like once he gets back from Afghanistan.
Plus, this gives me an excuse to use some of my pretty Fiestaware! Yes, I am that lame.
