thanksgiving 2012

Yesterday was Thanksgiving!  What a great holiday, you get to eat food, watch movies, and sometimes go buy cheap stuff at stores.  This was our first Thanksgiving alone.  Three years of marriage and we have always gone to family to celebrate this holiday.  We love going to see our family, but with me having to work at midnight there was no way to enjoy the holiday with family.  Our thanksgiving was pretty awesome and eventful.  We made a chicken instead of a turkey.  Turkey are just way to big for the two of us, plus we both love this chicken that Allison makes.  Best chicken I've ever had.  We also had some stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and green beans.  Allison made an excellent dinner, plus it only took about an hour to make.  Most of that was the chicken cooking.  One thing about the chicken is it's so juicy that the juices spill and smoke up the house, causing the smoke detector to go off.  It was worth though.

The main excitement came about twenty minutes before dinner was ready.  Allison heard this weird noise.  At first we thought it was just the chicken crackling in the oven.  Oh that is a beautiful noise.  It was though.  The sound got loader the closer to our bedroom we got.  The noise was water pouring out of our ceiling in our bathroom!  We quickly got buckets to catch the water and towels to wipe up the water.  We called our maintenance guy and had him come look at it.  By the time he got here it had stopped.  He went upstairs to see if everything was alright up there.  Things upstairs were okay except for one little thing.  The new person who moved in didn't own a shower curtain.  They had laid towels all along the floor and took a shower.  Not the smartest move in the book.  Luckily it wasn't a big problem, just human error.  We went on and had our dinner and hopefully our upstairs neighbor will get a shower curtain, because I can't have water pouring out of my ceiling ever day.  I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving.  Lots of love from the Indiana McLeans.
