Thanksgiving in AZ!

So last week on Wednesday at 6:30 pm Andrew, Kelsey, Ashley, and I all jumped in our Civic and started making our way down to AZ for Thanksgiving. After driving ALL night we arrived in Mesa at 5:30 am and dropped Andrew and Kelsey off at my sister Jen's where my family was having Thanksgiving. Ashley and I then continued our way down to Tucson, where her family was gathered for the festivities.

We arrived around 8 am, just enough time for me to change my clothes, hop in the car with Scott and Greg and head off to their annual Turkey Bowl Football game. I am going to blame my under par performance on lack of sleep, but deep down inside I think it was due to being out of shape and getting old (which is depressing). I was however surprised to find out that I am not that bad of a punter!

We enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving dinner with Ashley's family (which was pushing 60 people and held at a church, and apparently and small gathering). We had a blast hanging out with all off Ashley's immediate and extended family. Except for when Greg (brother-in-law) turned us all into slaves and forced us to assist him in his move. Just kidding, I can't complain, I spent the majority of the morning searching for my wedding ring which I knew I left securely in the grass at the football field (for safe keeping).

On Saturday we drove back up to Mesa and celebrated my nephew's Braden's birthday party. We got to hang out with my family for the rest of the day and then headed back to freezing cold Utah Sunday morning. It is now 17 degrees outside and I hate my life. However, the semester is almost over. Just two weeks left! Wish me luck on finals!
