Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday tomorrow.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving if I didn’t say what I’m most thankful for this year, so here goes:
Jerry, who has loved me unconditionally from the start. When I was fat, when I was skinny, while I’m pregnant and crazy with hormones and just not the best or nicest version of myself… he has loved me just the same. I am thankful I get to spend my life with him and that he will be the father of my children.
Our son, Caleb. We have both already learned about the unconditional and selfless love of parents, even though he isn’t yet here.
My family and friends who make life better, sweeter, and more fun. I was blessed with the most amazing parents, the kind of parents who would do anything for their children when needed, and we hope to be at least half as good as they are as parents. Caleb is lucky to have them as grandparents. I am surrounded by so many other supportive friends and family too and I am thankful for all the love they have always shown me and are now extending to my son.
I am also grateful this year for my house, our jobs, Dakota dog who always makes me laugh, books, and blogging. I have found my love and passion for blogging again this year when I evolved my blog into a more personal space. Even though I keep receiving “unsubscribed” notices, I feel excited to write here and have met a ton of new friends. Despite some people unsubscribing, the blog is filled with a a lot more discussion and comments than ever before. Funny how that works.
I will officially be kicking off my Christmas season come Friday. I, like most everyone else, love Christmas… but I never want to rush it. It loses its magic if you celebrate it for too long. Even though I’ve started shopping, the Christmas decorations, books, movies, and music always wait until the day after Thanksgiving… then it’s on! My iPod is ready, I’ve got stacks of Christmas books, and plenty of cheesy Christmas movies waiting for me on the DVR! Happy holidays!
