Hello all! Since my beloved hubby is in hardcore study mode for final exams, you're stuck with me and my inane blogging for the next few weeks. Who has two thumbs and is an awesome wife? This gal! ;-)
This past week was much more spectacular than normal weeks, largely due to the fact that Chad and I were together. The Christmas market and Thanksgiving didn't hurt either! Chad and I managed to hit the Christmas market twice while he was here, and we're definitely going back when he comes back in 19 days. Not that I'm counting the days or anything... Anyway, we went to the market on the first day it opened, and were joined by three Plocks, Ariane, Adelin, and Florian. It's finally getting chilly in Frankfurt, so we warmed ourself with that wondrous drink Glühwein.
Ariane, Chad and I imbibing! Gotta
stay warm somehow!
Ariane and Adelin had to leave us in the early evening to go to some makeup party where they were forced to buy makeup (I kid... not really...), so Chad and Florian and I continued our day of overeating by heading to one of our old hangouts, Zum Gemalten Haus. We had the typical Frankfurter Grüne Soße (literally, green sauce!) and apple wine. Delicious!
The next day was Thanksgiving, and though our official Frankfurt Thanksgiving wasn't planned until Saturday, we went over to our friends the McCowns, and enjoyed a... er... traditional Thanksgiving Indian feast. Okay, so maybe it wasn't very traditional, but the important part is that we were with dear friends, even though we were all very far from home! The McCowns also took part in the big Thanksgiving feast on Saturday, which Peter and Jerrode Marsh hosted in their usual wonderful way! Really, cooking for that many people is quite a feat! Michael baked some delicious pies, and Barb decorated the table beautifully.

The dining table that literally takes up
the dining area and living room! Yay!
Me with 3 of my favorite things: Chad, my iPhone,
and wine. :-) I think Chad's face shows his
emotions perfectly.
Well, tomorrow I'm finally needed for rehearsals at the opera house, so I should probably think about studying music, or maybe sleeping. Hmm, decisions decisions! I hope I don't get so busy that I can't take in the glorious sights and smells of the Christmas market on a near daily basis! Yes, it's a hard life... ;-) Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and please know that Chad and I missed being with our families very much! We are so very thankful for all of you.
