I spent Thanksgiving with new found friends in Denver yesterday. It was a pleasant surprise since I had no plans 3 days prior to the big holiday. The spread of food rivaled any family Thanksgiving event I have attended. Truly impressive, especially since this was the hostesses first time cooking a turkey. There were so many delicious side dishes to satisfy every holiday feast desire. The company was just as spectacular as the meal. All the dynamic different personalities combined together in a complimentary fashion. We all found ourselves not able to be with our families and so we made an environment that was the next best thing. I may have to dial down my personality at events because I have a tendency to want to get to the meat and potatoes of conversation and I don't always wait for an invitation to ask semi-personal questions and share my own semi-personal stories.
Overall I found the whole experience a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving. I would have been content to spend it alone but this was so much better. I am thankful that I was able to be involved with this group of people.
