some my happiest times were when i lived in a tiny apartment in buffalo.  it was almost a glorified studio.  i never worried about a thing.  

oh man...this exactly where we're at.  it ends up costing a lot to put on events like that.  sure people bring stuff over to help, but the hosts always end up taking the hit.  once the family knows the house works for larger events, you become the go to for every damn function and party under the sun.  i do like having family and friends over, but i hate missing out.  comparing it to a wedding is perfect.  in my defense though, i enjoyed my wedding.  everyone kept telling me i wouldn't have any fun at mine because it's just so busy.  well...i spent about half of it shaking hands and saying hi.  for the second half i said screw it, and got plastered with my friends.  my wife had to send someone to come get me to cut the cake.  she was not happy, but she knew what she was getting into.  maybe i'll use that same strategy for thanksgiving.

 

 

Haha sounds like my wedding.  We had a video person filming the wedding reception & at the end when he is interviewing my wife & I she pretty much had to hold me up when I was mumbling & slurring words to thank our parents.  I always tell her everybody makes mistakes in life, unfortunately you made a big one when you decided to marry me.  Ah after 16 years of wedding bliss, we are as happy as ever.

The stuff in stores is driving me crazy.  It's not because I don't like it though.  I've been in my first house for a little over two years now.  I'm still trying to figure out my best setup for Christmas decorations, so the damn stores keep giving me too many ideas.

at one point i loved thanksgiving...until we started hosting it.  we bought our forever house a few years ago, and made sure it had enough room for holiday throwdowns.  mistake numero uno.  45 people come over, eat our ****, drink my booze, and !@#$ my house up.  i don't think i've actually eaten a full dinner in 3 years.  i honestly just want to go out to eat at this point. 

What's a "forever house?"

 

Is that like a Forever Door?

It's usually the last house a young(er) couple ever plans on buying.  To raise a family in, grow old in, etc.
