i wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on today
and some of the things i'm grateful for.
{i mean that's what this holiday is all about right}
i could literally list hundreds of things here,
but i plan on printing this blog someday,
so i'll just share the first things that pop into my head.
i am grateful for:
1. my boys {for christopher's devotion to our marriage, family and his work and
for finn + scout for making me laugh every day and reminding me what life is all about}.
2. family {both the one i was born into and the one that i married into}.
i am especially grateful for barby's recent move to the western u.s.
having her closer means we will see her more now that she is just one state away.
3. friends {old + new}
the bookclub i joined in january introduced me to a group of lovely and intelligent woman who all share
a passion for reading. i'm so grateful for these new found female friends.
4. my pillow {i've been without mine for over a week and i can't express how much i've missed it}
~ my turkey day was anything but traditional.
just last night, c decided to drive to california's central coast to spend the holiday with
his brother chad and his sweet family {anissa + chloe who is 2.5}. it had been a while
since he'd seen them and the utah gerbers were going to be making the trek down there too.
we just arrived home from our vacation at 7pm last night but c was determined to go.
he got up at 3am {with the little guys}and drove north for several hours. whew - he is an animal!
unlike him, i couldn't muster up the energy for another trip so soon, so i stayed home.
{i did help unpack and pack to get them ready for their next journey}
so what did i do all day?
well, i went on a nice morning run, caught up with family/friends on the phone,
did lots of laundry, grocery shopped, watched this chick flick {very sweet},
and tried out a new receipe. i didn't want turkey, but i was craving pumpkin,
so i made pumpkin curry soup. it was delicious and almost this perty too.
