Happy Thanksgiving


So, in case you didn't know, I went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. I spent my time with my brother and his family. I had a lot of fun and thought you might enjoy a few pictures. This was my first experience with deep fried turkey, but it was actually pretty good! (And it was even better because Bill didn't burn down the house.)

Go Pandas!

It's been a crazy weekend, but I survived. The whole week was crazy getting things all ready and making sure all the KEY clubbers had their forms in (Some where still turning them in an hour before we got on the bus!) Plus, our school had a student die this week. She was at a Catholic youth conference in Ohio. They had just arrived and went accross the street to get breakfast when she was hit by a truck (the driver didn't stop). She was on student council and very involved, so it's been quite a shock for the school.


I got to school on Friday night about midnight, to get everything ready for the 947 Key clubbers going to Magic Mountain. Since our school was the departure spot, Patty and I got to run around a lot finding things and setting up. Plus, once everyone was on the buses (all 20 of them!), we had to put everything back and lock up (and alarm) the school before we could leave. We had some problems with the alarm but managed to get the buses going around 3 am.

We had a lot of fun at Magic Mountain. Our high school brought 33 students. While at the park, we attended Fall Rally. There were key clubs from all over California, Nevada, and Hawaii. They have to split the rally into three sessions to get them all in! It's pretty amazing to see that many young people all united to do community service and raise money for a good cause. We eventually made it back to Vegas. Two buses broke down so all the others had to take on extra kids, and of course took time. I think I finally got home around 2 am on Sunday.

Hash House A Go Go

I went out with some friends from work to a restaurant called Hash House A Go Go. The portion sizes were out of control. I don't know if you can tell, but my plate is about a foot and a half across!! My friend Ashley's chicken pot pie was HUGE!! My friend Patty got the fried chicken on a bacon waffle tower, what a combo! Although the food was ginormous, at least I have lunch for tomorrow.
