We survived.... our first Thanksgiving away from our family in Arizona. How did we survive? By going to family in Maryland. But I am getting ahead of myself.... we made it through case comp and Bryan and his team won the competition for his cohort. They got a business case and had four days to come up with a proposal and business plan and then they presented their case first to professors then when they made it to the second round to the VP of the company and others. We did not see him for over a week and he got little sleep BUT he won. I asked him what they won and he said they got their picture taken. I am not sure if that is a great prize : ) Bryan had the whole week off for Thanksgiving so we headed to Maryland and had Thanksgiving with my Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jim at their fabulous place. The kids played with the rabbits, on the swing ( which Kamryn LOVED when she wasn't crying), on the big slide and with my cousins children. Bryan helped build a deer stand and even tried to shoot a pumpkin. We then headed to Brigg and Mel's place near DC. We went to a show called ICE where everything was made of.. get ready... Ice. It was 9 degrees inside and we looked like fat smurfs when we put the coats on that they provided. It was AMAZING! They had a life sized nativity and slides that were all ice and many more cool things. The highlight for me was we got to eat Mexican food. I have missed really good Mexican food. Let's face it Indiana is not a mecca for Mexican food restaurants. Just 3 weeks and we head to Arizona for Christmas.... we can't wait!
