This break went by too fast!

So my Thanksgiving consisted of two thanksgiving dinners, movies, homework, shopping, and a lot of sleeping.
I got home at 10 am on Wednesday morning and got to catch up with my parents and sister.  My dad was in the kitchen making our Thanksgiving dinner as my Grandma and my family friend Nancy were coming over at 3 pm.  We had to have Thanksgiving dinner a day early since my parents were leaving for Vegas at 4 am Thursday morning.  The dinner went very well and it was my first home-cooked meal in a month. 
I got to tell my parents about my job offer from my professor and Vice Chancellor at UWM to do marketing for the university. They would just as excited as I was for how well I am doing at school.  I then celebrated by going shopping on Black Friday.  Now I do not do the whole 2 am in line thing, I go out at about 9 am and just do casual shopping.  I like this so much better than being trampled in a store.  I got to spend a lot of time with my sister, but graciously my neighbors, basically second parents, invited us to their house for dinner on Thanksgiving and tonight. 
I had a very good break, but I found out my opa, that is Dutch for grandpa, is getting worse and he doesn't have much time.  My parents are going to visit him after their flight lands, but neither my sister or I are able to see him.  I just hope that he makes it to winter break and I can go say my goodbyes then.

Sorry for the sad ending, leave a comment about your break!
