All the pretty lights

Ross arrived in New York late monday night the week of thanksgiving. As soon as he arrived I got him settled and went to bed... because I had 4 hours of dancing the next morning.  After my classes ending I got home we got some food and then walked to school so I could show him around. 

It was really cool to be able to share my life in New York with him. 

After touring around Yonkers and Bronxville for the afternoon we came back to my house to make "Thanksgiving" dinner. I roasted a chicken, made homemade mashed potatoes, stove top, and biscuits. 

My first ever roast chicken!

Wednesday morning we went into the city to stay for the rest of his trip. We stayed at the doubletree manhattan on 53 and Lexington.

Ross is the most amazing man in the whole world ever...

it's true... This morning he surprised me big time. It seems he has made a liar of me in the best way, this will not be my first Thanksgiving alone... But instead, my first Thanksgiving with Ross.

I'm so excited and happy, every time I think about it I get pterodactyls in my stomach, smily like dopey (seven dwarf style) and begin to cry. I feel bad because Ross asked me if I was happy this morning but I was crying, so that when I said yes I sounded sad... in reality I was so in shock and unbelievably happy I burst into tears.

So I now have new plans and a new menu for my thanksgiving:

Monday night Ross arrives

Tuesday I have classes till 1pm, make cinnamon rolls, then explore Bronxville and make a fancy thanksgiving dinner of: Roast turkey breast and veggies, garlic smashed potatoes, stove top (don't judge, I love it), and a dessert TBD.

Wednesday we will head into NYC and hang out, we will be staying in the city wednesday and thursday. We will possibly go to the parade (If I can get Ross up that early hahaha).

Then Friday morning he will fly home and I will return to my research paper due the following monday.

Ross is the most amazing man in the whole world and I cannot wait till monday night...
