Family

I've really been looking forward to Thanksgiving. It would be the first time since just after Christopher came up here that we've all been together. I was looking forward to it so much, I was worried that something would get screwed up. I'm happy to report that nothing went wrong! Brandon and I got to the hotel in about 3 1/2 hours. We got the room that has the sofa sleeper so that all of us could be together. We had called Christopher when we got on the Greenway, so it wasn't long before he was knocking on our door. I had brought plenty of food, so we were soon munching away. We were laughing and joking and having fun being together again. As soon as Christopher found out that I had missed the last 3 episodes of "Chuck", he was going to Hulu so that we could all see it. After getting caught up, we went to his place to play some video games. We had brought our XBox 360, but the TV in the hotel didn't have anywhere to plug it in. Since the hotel is right next to where Christopher lives, we walked. I got to make my avatar for my gamer profile. It doesn't look exactly like me, but it's in the general ballpark. I watched Brandon and Christopher play "Little Big Planet" for awhile. It's a neat game. It could grow on me, given time. They then decided that it was time for them to play "Left 4 Dead". That is a really hard game! I've always sucked at zombie games with fast moving zombies, so I wasn't quite ready to try it. The biggest drawback that I saw was that there weren't many save places. That meant that you have to play for a really long time before you can stop or you lose your progress. I decided about midnight that I needed sleep. Brandon had a key, so I headed back to the hotel to get some sleep. I don't know when, or if, they'll show up here, but I'm going to bed very happy! I love having my family all together. The world seems right again. We aren't leaving until late Saturday afternoon, so we'll have another whole day to be together. Sleep well.
