I decided to make the trip home to Indiana (thank you planes for making an 11 hour trip into a breezy two hour flight) for a long weekend. After going a little stir crazy and not having face to face contact with the people I love most, I was in dire need of a reunion!
Little did I know it was a measley 28 degrees an WINDY when I landed, and I was reminded of this beautiful citys' nickname.
It has been such a blessing to share cherished moments over Commander breakfasts, trips to Target, watching AFV with a life-long friend, and drives through my familiar home town. Let's not forget my buddy Peanut :). There's something about the love of a childhood dog that can make you feel complete.
As I am relaxing tonnight in my mom's house and listening to Christmas music (my mom had it on, I didn't put it on) I am reminded of the beauty of family. We all have our own quirks, likes, dislikes, and faults, but we're still a family and we're more alike than we might want to admit.
This Thanksgiving I am so excited to say that I am thankful for my husband Andrew, we are a FAMILY now and that is just the coolest thing. As he said "Hi Mom" on skype today it made me smile and reminded me that our family gained a really great member:).
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? (sorry Kait, had to copy you:))
Hehe...I like the shout out. I am thankful for my new family. Jon and Othello make me smile everyday. Even though I get lonely in MO, it's been such a blessing learning how to be a family. We have to rely soley on each other and it's been really good for our relationship.
