Believe it or not, at age 22 this was my first Thanksgiving celebration away from my family. Although I missed them a ton, it was actually a very special time for me. Mostly because Timmy got to come visit. So here I shall document our adventures together.
Timmy flew in on Tuesday night and we went out to have a Nigerian dinner with Aunt Rachel’s friends from when she lived in Nigeria (also my current Houston friends).
The next day Mr. Christmas decorated my apartment for me.
On Wednesday and Thursday we went to Dallas to adopt the Bartholomew family. We had a great time playing with the kids, getting on the roof, eating turkey (and a bunch of other yummy stuff), and having a bonfire.
We made a few stops on the way back to Houston.
On Friday night we went to Galveston and went ice skating, went to the rainforest exhibit, and then went and watched Frozen.
On Saturday we slept in, went for a walk on my trails, walked around downtown, and went to a friend’s house so Timmy could practice piano. We ended up helping her put up Christmas lights.
Finally, on Saturday night we went to see the Houston Symphony perform Beethoven's 6th.
The next morning (if that is what you call 4 am) we got up and I dropped him off at the airport and he flew away back to Ohio. Less than three weeks until I get to see him again!
HOW FUN!! Are we going to have that much fun when I come in Feb?
ReplyDeleteI think what you wanted to spell is egussi soup with pounded yam. Not sure if my spelling is correct either, but I am a little jealous that I can't get that here! Glad you two had such an awesome time. Nana
