Thanksgiving and the weekend!

I am so very blessed to have the wonderful family that I do, as I have gotten older this has become clearer and clearer. I had such a great time hanging out with my brother and sister over the Thanksgiving break and just spending time with the fam.  Even though I live so much closer to them these days I stink at going home.  I still see them here and there but I don't go home for the weekend as I once did.  I love my family very much and I know I would not be in the place that I am today without them!

The rest of the weekend was pretty incredible.  One of my good friends, Pete, was married on Friday.  It was my first experience with a Gay wedding and it was pretty amazing.  Not because it was a marriage between two men but it was someone who I care about that has found happiness, it's cool to witness those ceremonies regardless of the parties involved.  The reception was pretty wild that involved a lot of alcoholic beverages and a bunch of dancing.  The night concluded with patio umbrellas (courtesy of Uno's bar and grille) set up in our hotel room and in the hallway.  Not quite sure how that happened but it was a bit odd waking up to that in the morning.

The following day should have been a time for recovery and sleep! Unfortunately, I had already made plans to go out with Vedran, Sladja (V's girlfriend), and Alivia.  About an hour after I got home we were on our way to Mohegan Sun down in CT.  We ended up all killing a black jack table for about 7 hours that night all leaving with a nice chunk of money and an incredible buzz.  It was a great weekend spent with amazing people and though it was not a relaxing break it was definitely and enjoyable one.  Being the Thanksgiving season it was a nice reminder of how blessed and thankful I am for the wonderful people in my life...friends new and old, thank you for being there!

BLACK JACK!
