thanksgiving dinner in atlanta was a wonderful dinner indeed. my mom decided to book dinner at a vineyard right outside atlanta called "chateau elan" because my brother only had one day off from work. what is this real person schedule nonsense!?
my brother and i bond the best over buffet dinners - whether it is organizing our plan of attack, comparing our plates, or figuring out the best way to make it as awkward as possible for other diners (this year, we almost took the topping off of every cake on display, surpassing the actual cake itself.) i'm pretty sure that if my brother and i ever got in a fight in which we weren't talking for 10 years, you could put a buffet in front of us and we'd be high-fiving and dancing around in no time.
i'm finally back in nashville, in a quiet dorm probably full of 3 other kids whose parent's don't love them either (just kidding!). i can't believe that i'll be back in florida in a mere 2.5 weeks. until then, i've got a bajillion hours in the library on my planner, listening to jingle bell rock and looking forward to the merriest month of all.
