Thanksgiving Away from Home

Well for my second Thanksgiving away from home ever, it was an okay. I was lucky to spend the time with some great new friends, friends that are starting to feel like family. The day started out better than I thought since I was able to stay home and cook most the day, even though I was supposed to be in bed for the day with my back. However I ended up resting for half the day and cooking the rest. I am glad to say that my Thanksgiving was not without one of my family’s favorite food, Cream cheese Mash Potatoes. All my cousins should be proud since I brought them with me. I also end up making an Apple crisp, which I got three requests to make for people.
We gathered at about 6:30 here, since most teachers had to work. It was a great turn out and we filled the hall on the first floor. We ate and talked for a good three hours with everyone, than all headed back to our apartments to sleep off you turkey dinner.
I did come to the conclusion that there were two things I really missed, besides my family. One was the Thanksgiving Day Parade, First time I have not been able to watch it, second was going to a movie with my cousins after lunch. I will be looking forward to those and my family the next time I am home.
