Ugh. I am never again booking the cheapest flights I can find... next time I'll splurge to go more direct, it was miserable! But all over now and I made it to Richmond Va. thanksgiving morning at 8:30am. It's really great to hang out with my family again, we have so much to talk about- my family are serious talkers, we can do it for hours, so much to catch up on, and it's just nice to see my house again.
Plus, right now Richmond is cold but the leaves all changed late so it's absolutely gorgeous here. The leaves are bright colors and falling to the ground, everything is bright orange and red and yellow. These is a photo of my house and one from the backyard.
Thanksgiving day itself was a bit of a blur, and I was sleeping by 7pm. But that meant that I was chipper at 6am this morning to hit black friday shopping. Black friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US, the day after thanksgiving everything goes on massive discount in every store but only between 6am and noon... so it means getting up at the crack of dawn! Some people even show up earlier and wait outside the door. Such warriors. I met up with Carlee, bought a bridesmaid dress for E's wedding, and some stuff from H&M, my mecca.
Oh, and I've been here just over 24 hours and have been to Starbucks twice. Ahh America.

Glad to see you made it back in one piece! If you decide the flight back is too long, let me know. I think I could handle it if it meant I got to go back instead... :)
Always good to know who reads my blog, haha. I didn't know you read it... but I'm glad you do! Clearly I read yours too... and then I didn't even think about it when I put a link to yours in mine... I did it as much for me as anything, so that it doesn't have to be saved under "Favorites" anymore. Glad that's okay!
I hope you're having a wonderful time back home! I wish it were that beautiful here... its been in the 20s all day here. Yay Chicago...
