My first Thanksgiving as an Agan

My new Family LOVES football.....
Ok as many of you know I got married to the most amazing man in the world on June 9th and am extremely blessed to have such an wonderful husband. However, throughout the past couple of months I have learned something very tragic about my husband and his entire family! They LOVE football and if you know me at all you know that there are few things in the world more painful to me than sitting and watching an ENTIRE football game.
I have come to accept the fact that during football season Saturdays are going to consist of watching Texas, yelling at the TV, and singing along to the fight song. However, I have felt so fortunate my entire life that on Thanksgiving day while the rest of the country is watching football I am doing something entirely different. My Thanksgivings have always consisted of hours of girl talk with my cousins, aunts, sister and mom! We have a great time with all the men in the Family but after lunch it is men to the TV and girls to the other room (my Dad occasionally pops in for some girl talk). We watch movies, play games, EAT, and catch up on each others lives.
I had my first Thanksgiving with Lance's family and ignoring the football game was not an option. We had an amazing lunch and timed it just perfectly so that we could all be full and happy right in time for the kick off! I am not gonna lie...at first I was a little worried about this change in family dynamic, however ended up having a GREAT time! I honestly couldn't tell you who won the game and now that I think about it I don't even know who the Cowboys were playing. But I feel so blessed to have been able to sit in a room with both sets of Lance's grandparents, his parents, and his aunts and uncles. It is so wierd that when you get married you gain an entirely new family and as much as I missed my family yesterday I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life. If Lance's family can accept his Football hating wife and be nice enough to try to entertain me during the game I can definitely handle watching a game or two!
