Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Today, The Boy and I are headed to my parents’ house today for the day. As usual, it will be a chaotic day with 8 adults, 7.5 kids (including Wicket), and 4 dogs. Luckily, the weather is nice, so the kids will be able burn off some energy outside.
The say that fetuses of this age (nearly 21 weeks!) can actually taste the things that their moms eat, so I am prepared to provide Wicket with a wide variety of Thanksgiving cuisine. Just because I’m a good mom like that.
In the spirit of the day, I want to share the things in my life that I am thankful for:
- The Boy – Dave is the most wonderful husband a girl could ever ask for. He is a perfect complement to me.
- Wicket – We’re grateful that you’re coming and can’t wait to meet you.
- Logan and Bobo – My two boys are the most loyal companions and the best dogs ever.
- My extended family – Can’t say enough about my parents, brothers, and their families, including my 7 always-entertaining nieces and nephews.
- My home – I never believed that I could live in such a nice place that is mine. We’ve worked hard to get here, but I’m thankful for every second we spend here.
- My friends – Old and new, in person and online, the support I get is immeasurable and I hope that I am able to give as well as I get.
- My colleagues and students – The people in my department gave me opportunity that I barely dreamed possible, which I am eternally grateful for. My students challenge, frustrate, and teach me every day.
- My life – It’s not without its bumps, but I wouldn’t trade this ride for the world.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
