Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving, the past her and I since we got back together we spent the holiday together. I was mad one year because she was married and didn't know it. It broke my heart as it did hers because well I was a jerk towards her. But we made up. And we always spent Thanksgiving here in California. This year was different, we decided to go to Omaha to see her family.
Amy, Sheldon, and Amy's parents left for Texas for the holiday. Mary insisted since our friends were down on the dumps. Trust me Penny begged me if we could change our plans and go to Texas instead. When I asked why at first she insisted our friends needed us. But after giving her a questionable look she said and I quote, "Fine! Come on Leonard Mary and Mrs. Fowler under the same roof. Give me a bottle of wine and some popcorn it would be like a good drama movie." She seemed disappointed when I told her no.
As for the Wolowitz clan, they went to Bernadette's parents. Bernadette said there was always a bet going on to see when Mike would kill Howard that year. Penny pouted she was going to miss that too. Somehow she finds drama very entertaining as long it is not us.
As for Raj, him and Anu were going to Anu's brothers house in San Diego. He was going to meet at least four of her brothers. Penny insisted that would fun to watch also. I had to admit I would want to watch that also. Well because it was Raj.
But once our plane landed at the airport I could see the excitement on my wife's face. I could tell she missed her family. We held hands as we walked into the airport and got our luggage. But Penny quickly let go as she saw her dad and ran to give him a hug. I just felt happy we came because I love seeing my wife happy. Wyatt came up to me and gave me a pat on the shoulder and asked how our flight was. In the truck Penny talked to her dad about her job and how hard she was trying to get a promotion. I could not be prouder for her being successful.
Once we arrived at her parents house, Penny and I got settled in her old bedroom. Which we had not stayed in since we came here the summer after we became engaged. I began to laugh as she gave me an odd look. "What's so funny?" she asked.
"Nothing just the last time we were in here we got in so much trouble waking your dad up middle of the night. How conveniently you never told me your room is right above your parents room." I smiled at her as she began to walk towards me with a serious look. "What?" I asked as she wrapped her arms around my neck, making my arms wrap around her waist.
She bit her lip and her eyes were dilated, "Hmm, we could get in trouble again. Right here, right now..."
She did not have to say no more. I had to have my wife right there, right now.
Of course we got a disproving look when we made our way back down the stairs. Susan just smiled and smaked Wyatt's shoulder, "Will you quite with that look. She is not your little girl anymore. They are adults and married."
"Oh mom I will always be his little girl. Always his Slugger." Penny said bending over to kiss her dad on the cheek. Only Wyatt giving Susan a smug look. I shook my head with a chuckle.
The next day, Penny's family arrived at the farm. This is one thing I loved about my wife, she came from a very loving family who cared for one another dispite them being quit difuctnial but I would take that over my family any day. She had both set of grandparents show up from the retirement home, all three of her father brothers and their wives show up, and her mother sister and two brothers come with their spouses. Plus most all ten of her male cousins show up. Of couse their wives and children came. out of both sides of Penny's family, her amd her sister were the only female family cousins and were very protective by all the males in the family. Even Randell in his very quirky way. The first time I met Penny's cousins I was very intimidated. But once they found out I was truly in love with Penny and was never going to hurt her I was greeted by as they called them, menly bear hugs. I remembered Penny laughing so hard she was crying as I was tossed around and squeezed to my last breath.
Wyatt made a big deal that we were coming, so he made sure the whole family was there and even cleaned out his pull barn and had plenty of food for everyone. But as Penny and I began to ate we had quite the entertainment ourselves. Randell brought his new girlfriend who happened to be one of his probation officers. Then Penny's sister announced she divorced her husband and was dating a new guy. As he showed up, come to find out he was Randell's new girlfriend's ex boyfriend. We sat on the couch and Penny sat forward as she held out her hand and asked, "Hand me my glass of wine, this is going to get good!" Of course I did what she asked as the cat fight in front of us started. Hair was pulled, punches were thrown, Wyatt and Penny's uncle John both accidentally were punched as the women were pulled away from each other. Bags of ice were put on eyes, noises, and bottom lips.
But once everyone was settle down and trying to salvage three of the pies from Penny's grandma's cigarette ashes going all over it, most the family sat down to watch the football games. Since I was not into sports I ended up talking to Penny's nephew who was now had a year of college left and was now old enough to be engaged.
After everyone pitched in to clean up and Penny's siblings made up since somehow both being single that day. We went that bed that night Penny insisting we have Christmas with my family just to see what drama will happen there. I can not even imagian what will happen but as long it makes my wife happy.
