Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

Well today is Thanksgiving, and we are one week away from Jake finishing his training here. It has been a Thanksgiving unlike any other! Unfortunately, we weren't able to go anywhere or spend the holiday with any friends or family. With Jake being a federal employee, he only gets federal holidays off--which means he only gets today off! So, we are here! For the first time in my life, I had my first ordered out turkey day dinner! We don't have all the proper kitchenware to cook a nice big feast, so we had a nice hot dinner waiting for us to come pick up at the infamous Cracker Barrel. The Turkey was awesome being juicy and tender! I loved their home made biscuits, I could have just eaten them and would have been content! All in all, it was a good meal--of course nothing compares to a home made meal with the loud laughter that rings through a house full of family! Holidays definitely make me miss family. When it was dark enough, we headed out to the city park where there was a festival of lights! I could not believe how much work and LIGHTS went into their "christmas in the park". I was very impressed! For those of you in Grand Forks, it was about 10 times better and brighter than the Christmas in the Park over in Lincoln park! We are currently lounging around being full and lazy and satisfied! Of course, you also hear football going on in the living room! Sadly enough, tomorrow brings us back to the real world! This time next week, we will be getting ready for our final destination: Helena Montana where Jake will officially start his career as an air traffic controller! Pray that his final review goes well!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
