Thanksgiving Highlights

For the past several years my brother RaVell (Bo) has hosted a thanksgiving dinner the Saturday before thanksgiving with our dad. This year, things are a little more complicated... so my sister Camille suggested we go out to eat. I was just lucky enough to get the flu that day and I didn't feel good (or look good) and so Court kept asking me if I was pregnant ( :P ).

Three very memorable experiences I am going to highlight:

1- Jenny and I talked as if we hadn't skipped a beat since the last time we visited. I love her! Not many people can ask for a wonderful-fun-loving-hip step-sister that is just less than a year older than you! :D 

2- When the meal was over my other brother Syd was telling the waitress how the checks would be divided up:

1) My family (the only one with kids)

2) The soon-to-be-parents (for those of you who don't know-- Cami is pregnant! :D )

3) The cowboy (my dad)

4) The couple-that-got-married-too-young (Sam and I)

5) The homeless (my other brother Zac)

6) The convict (RaVell)

7) The poor college students (my half-sister Courtney and step-sister Jenny)

3- When Camille wanted to make the big announcement to Courtney and Jenny she wanted me to get their attention/tell them. It was all spontaneous. So I quickly thought of two cleaver things to say:

"I am not the one that is pregnant" 

Or

"She is the only one that is pregnant"

Now, put these two phrases together + one really sick girl = I accidentally said:

"I am not the only one that is pregnant"

{Luckily the whole table didn't hear me. And no, Sam and I aren't trying to start a family yet}

Let me tell you, the look on my husbands face was priceless-- he couldn't believe I accidentally said such a thing! Jenny was just staring at me with wide eyes and Courtney was all up in the air. Once I realized what I actually said, I corrected myself and it was all good. But we sure did get a good laugh out of it! :D
