Thanksgiving break turned out to be pretty decent.  I worked most of the day Wednesday, but that was fine.  Then Tara flew in that night, which of course was the highlight of the day.  We went from the airport to a bar in Benson to meet up with Elizabeth who happened to be visiting from Tennessee.  The ended up being particularly interesting as the power was out in Benson, so the bar was completely dark except for a few emergency lights and candles.  A guy stood in the middle of the bar and played an acoustic set while everyone remained quiet so we could all hear him.  It was really cool.  Tara and I then went back to my parents’ house and we went in the new hot tub*.

Thanksgiving was spent with my family and then that evening Tara and I went to Lincoln as we would be going to the game the next day*.  We went and saw Zach and Miri make a Porno which was actually quite good.  You never expect a Kevin Smith movie to have any real sustenance, but this one really does.

After the game, it was up to Yankton to spend time with Tara’s family.  Nothing too exciting here, although it was an enjoyable trip.  We came back to Omaha today to have dinner with my family and then I took Tara to the airport, and now she’s in Denver waiting for her next flight to Salt Lake.  Sad, but not too sad as she’ll be coming back in only three weeks for Christmas*.

Other excitement:  Someone gave me the idea of having an engagment ring for me to wear as well.  I immediatly thought this to be a good idea as I’ve always wondered why the girl gets a ring but the guy doesn’t.  Tara liked the idea too, so she got me my very own engagement ring to wear.  It’s been funny as most people have never heard of such an idea, so Tara and I have been joking that we took a trip to Vegas over Thanksgiving break.
