The beginning of my Thanksgiving week

It is November 24, 2008 today, which means that Thanksgiving is in 2 days.

My week started out on Friday night when I went to Rebecca's birthday party at The Gypsy Lounge. And let me just say, that was an awesome party and I'm glad I got to go hang out with all those wonderful people and spend time with some of my closest friends. Not to mention the fact that I got to have a sneak peek of the new Hollowell Christmas EP, and I pretty much hate Christmas music, but that EP is absolutely amazing. The emotions and the powerful greatness in each song simple touches my heart and makes me extremely happy!

So I enjoyed the delightful party and time with friends, then when I got home around 2:45am or so, I started packing up my car so that I could leave, along with my dad and two of my sisters to head up to Northern California to visit my oldest sister, my brother in law and my nephew. So once the car was packed and everything was ready, I decided to lie down in bed and literally 12 minutes later, my dad knocked on the door saying it was time to get up and get going. So after basically no sleep, I was in the shower shaving my head and preparing to leave.

So we drove, and we drove... and we drove. We got up there a little after noon, and have been spending time with my sister, brother in law and nephew ever since. My parents and sisters are staying at a rental home while I am staying here at my sister and brother in laws. So each night I go to sleep and each morning (which has only been twice thus far), I wake up with my cute little nephew RIGHT IN MY FACE... "HI, ADAM!" It is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I mean, I woke up yesterday morning with the little dude right in my face saying "hi, Adam" and reading books to me and doing all kinds of cute little dude stuff.

So its been a great few days so far. We've had booze (kick ass microbrew), we've had good food, we've enjoyed hanging out and spending time with family that we don't see too often, we've played cards (which was actually quite fun), we've done all kinds of awesomely fun stuff and I am loving every second of my time up here. We still have a night out planned for tomorrow, we are going to the Russian River Brewing Company (the place Travis works), and then, of course, we are having a big Thanksgiving dinner, which I can't wait for!

So that is my update on my week thus far, and I'll give you more details as the week progresses, but I just wanted to throw some stuff on here about my time so far.

More to come in a bit... maybe even some pictures, too.
