Mrs. D's Dirty Laundry: Our First Thanksgiving

We spent our first Thanksgiving...

sick with the cold/flu, trying to get some rest in between our coughing fits. I didn't end up cooking (WAH! I really was looking forward to this) and we ended up going to Boston Market instead. The experience at BM on Thanksgiving Day is not a very pleasant one...and to experience this at a NYC BM probably makes it a tad more unpleasant. The food was good though and we enjoyed eating it at home - even though I don't think either one of us could taste what we were eating! This might have been a good thing, but then again BM is pretty tasty. We spent the rest of the long weekend indoors playing the Wii, watching DVD's and I managed to read The Kite Runner in one day from start to finish (the book was A.MA.ZING. by the way). We thought we were feeling better on Friday night and decided to cure ourselves of cabin fever. We headed out to dinner and found ourselves at Pete's Downtown. We've been to Pete's a few times before and you know, we don't go there nearly enough! Much to our surprise, we ended up having one of the most memorable nights ever!! Dinner was very romantic - full of conversation, laughter and good food (the ravioli is go yummy!). It's always the times you least expect that turn out to be the greatest, isn't it?

So anyway, this was our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. It was a good weekend...difficult at times, but good overall. We have a lot to be thankful for, so even though we are both sick...at least we were together.
