Giving Thanks

November 26, 2009

This year I am so thankful for my family's health...especially my Dad's. I didn't write about it but over the summer my Dad had aortic valve replacement {which is open heart surgery}. It was really scary because he had to be readmitted to the hospital 3 times! I'm so happy that he's home and finally doing better.



I am so thankful to have such an awesome brother. It's so great to see him and catch up. Last night he played Sally's Day Spa {an iPhone app} with me! He's the best! And today we went on a long walk and he taught me how to use Matthew's SLR. {so many great pics!}

I am so thankful to have the kindest and most understanding boyfriend. He deals with my post grad struggles on a daily basis and gives me so much love and encouragement. I missed him so much today!

 
I am so incredibly thankful for my kind and sweet followers. I can't believe there are more than 50 of you now (!!). You all mean so much to me and I appreciate your advice and comments more than you know. Seriously I could be in the worst mood and an email or comment from you can change it completely! Once I'm back on my computer I can't wait to see what you all have been up to over the holiday weekend! 

I am so stuffed from all the food today..I was about to fall asleep at 5! So now after THREE hours of watching footage from my aunt and uncle's Portugal and Spain trip I am off to bed!

I hope you all had a yummy day eating turkey or tofurkey {or non-Thanksgiving food if you're not in the U.S}. I hope it was wonderful!!

  2. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. :) I'm stuffed as well...maybe not as much as you but it's tradition for us to have turkey, mashed potatoes, veggies, gravy, etc and two kinds of dessert on Thanksgiving. The stuffing was missing, but they don't have that over here. :(

    BF and I had a lovely dinner and decorated our entire apartment, then we watched Christmas movies together, it was really nice.
