Ugh, we still haven't been able to figure out how to get our France post to show that we posted it less than 5 months ago.
Oh well, at least Thanksgiving is only TWO days away!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. If you know me, you're probably thinking, "ANY holiday where you get to eat as much as you want would be your favorite holiday!" And you would probably be right... but Thanksgiving is different. While I do love the food... turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, broccoli casserole, stuffing, and pumpkin pie (mmmmmm)... Thanksgiving is about more than that.
One of my other favorite things is to spend time with family, so this holiday is the perfect opportunity to combine the two. Although my parents and most of my siblings will be in San Diego this year, we do have Rachael's sister and her family coming up from Las Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with us. I'm really excited to have them visit and enjoy the holiday here in good ol' Utah.
In addition to the food and family, I love this holiday because SO many people actually take the time to think about what they're thankful for, something that seems to fall by the wayside most of the time.
I am thankful for so much, and I won't bore you with my list, but I will just say that at the top of it is my wonderful wife, Rachael. She is more amazing than I can express in a blog post. I am so thankful that she is my wife, and that we get to be together forever.
Now I just have to work as hard as I can to make sure she feels the same! :)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
