Together

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, it isn't cluttered with the monetary things and stress of gift giving and pleasing everyone. I enjoy the presence of my family and just being together. There is something else that is very special about Thanksgiving, it is a time that we remember the most influential person for my mom's side of the family, Mamaw Great. We miss her dearly and really miss her.
This Thanksgiving is something that has a lot more memories to it this year. This year is Jeremy and my first holiday as a married couple. It is fun to add one more person to the table! Another think that is wonderful (if you know Jeremy and me well enough, this shouldn't surprise you!) is that we had four dogs with us this year! This was so much fun... There was one instance that will forever be engraved into our brains... we were having a nice Thanksgiving dinner (with all 4 dogs outside) and we hear the sound of two dogs fighting to their death (yelping and growling). Mom runs to the door trying to get whoever it is to break it up... Well, Paisley had Milton (Tyson's dog) on his back attacking him (Paisley has Milton's neck in his mouth pinning him to the ground). We eventually break them up... Tyson checks out Milton to make sure he is ok and he turns out to be fine... Jeremy and I went to check on Paisley and, come to find out, Milton has bitten a hole in Paisley's lip and has bitten his upper lip raw... Jeremy and I concluded that Milton pushed Paisley to his limit and Paisley lashed out! Later that night Paisley and Milton were best friends!
What an eventful day!
