Surprise Thanksgiving
As everyone knew (except for my parents) I decided to come home this year for Thanksgiving, my first Thanksgiving in 2 years! I decided to surprise the parentals although just about every single other person in a 4 mile vicinity (except aunt Katie) knew I was coming home. My plane landed about 10 to 9 in the evening at DTW and my sisters and cousin, Adrianne, came to pick me up. When we got back to the house we had Laura go in first to find out where everyone was, she texted me and told me to come in. My mom was cleaning the bathroom so I came in and turned the corner and there was the face of shock. It was seriously an amazing look. So amazing, I videotaped the whole entrance, you can watch it here: Shock of shocks (she is going to hate that I put this online). After she stopped screaming I went upstairs to see the dad who, of course, was already getting ready for bed at 10 pm. He was equally excited, but I’m glad he didn’t jump up and down and scream like a girl like his wife.
After that excitement ended it was time for Thanksgiving Eve, AKA biggest bar night of the year. The sisters, Adrianne, and I went to Camp Ti to see the first Abrasive Method show in Troy, MI. The place was pretty packed, there most likely over a hundo I’m sure. The show was great, even my mom came to check out the A.M. boys! After the show a few of us headed over to the GP, because really, what is TG-Eve without the GP? Right! That was one hot mess. Mark and I did some shots of whiskey. Laura and I did a Johnny Vegas, it was good times.
Thanksgiving – The entire dad side of the family was coming over (not to mention we had Aunt Martha, Uncle Dan, and their kids, Ava and Jacob staying with us). It was pretty much the biggest Thanksgiving we’ve ever had, 17 people at the table. I waited until my grandma and aunts came over before I came downstairs and surprised all of them. Tears were shed, it was ridic. Aunt Katie brought 2 pans of greenbean bundles, the greatest food on earth. The stuffing was great, turkey and potatoes, mmm, I mean I don’t really need to remind you all what food is eaten on Thanksgiving, but again, it was my first one in 2 years! I loved it.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same old. A few bar trips and of course hitting up B-Dubs, the greatest wings ever which Utah fails to have (amongst a ton of other things). The Saturday Adrianne decided to throw some sort of beer-fest. Basically, it ended up being a bunch of people (including my parents and other adult neighbors) coming over and playing flip cup. My mom has never played flip cup and she decided it would be ideal for her to play using wine instead of beer…. yeahhhh! She was ridic. Hey, in fact, I got another video of this too! Wine Flippy Cup.
I actually had a legit reason to come home (other than the obvious), I was called in for a job interview, I’m not going to get into specifics about it but I certainly hope I get picked so I can head back to the great Mitten. I’ll keep you all informed fo sho. In the mean time check out the photo album of my trip right here! Oh yeah, and guess what else? I’ll be home in like 2 weeks for Christmas (Dec 24-Jan 4) get ready for that shit!
