This time of year can be as wonderful for others as mine has been; but for some, it can be one of the toughest times of the year. This has especially opened my eyes and has allowed me to appreciate my blessings that much more than usual. How could someone be so fortunate as to have what I have (not only at home, but at my home-away-from-home as well?!). As the Christmas season approaches (and as Nick finally allows me to decorate), I continue to consider myself amongst one of the luckiest girls in the world. For as cliche as it may sound, I can't imagine a better life.
With the conclusion of this holiday approaching, I'd like to recap on some of my favorite past times of the week. I've especially enjoyed:
-FaceTiming with my family on Thanksgiving
-Learning pinochle, as well as some healthy competition against Nick in "May I"
-Eating delicious food on Thanksgiving
-Getting some gifts (and some gift ideas) for loved ones for Christmas
-Tailgating with the best
-Skyping with my "nephew" R.J. & Co.
-Receiving my first comment from a total stranger (Yay! Thank you, Alyss)
I look forward to going home to decorate, and look forward to all the excitement in the coming weeks, but I especially cannot wait to spend the Christmas/New Year holidays with my family and travel back to see Nick's again. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy some more images of my favorite things of the week/weekend!
Nick & one of his best friends, Kevin - our tailgating host!

The infamous Thanksgiving pilgrim wife that will
forever bring haunting and humor to my family's holiday.

Lastly, my second family. I love you!
