Who: My husband (Mike) and myself
What: Thanksgiving
When: 2008
Where: Dubuque (Mike) and Sioux City (myself)
Why: Why not?
I heard a lot of snotty comments regarding our decision to go our separate ways for Thanksgiving. Here is what I wish I would have thought of quick enough to say in return...
- It's our decision. Not yours.
- We love spending time with each other's family. It's not about that.
- Our families live FIVE hours apart, therefore, not enough hours in a day to see both.
- Just because we go our separate ways for a holiday doesn't mean we're fighting, getting divorced, or don't like each other.
- You have no right to judge us when (gasp) you and your spouse's families live in the same area.
- We are best friends. We are happily married. We are in love. We don't have to go everywhere together to prove this to anyone.

You could have added that you wanted to be home for your sisters big announcement!
You go girl! I think it says ALOT about the security of your relationship that you can be apart for holidays...as long as it isn't your anniversary! HA!
