Thanksgiving

I can not believe December is starting tomorrow. Where did the year go? We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. This year as a whole was given a HUGE thanks!!!! Me getting a job, buying Scott a new car, buying our first home....the list goes on...

This year we stayed in Florida for Thanksgiving and enjoyed our new home. It was just us 2. We were going back and forth about going north for the holiday (since we knew we weren't going anywhere for xmas). Then when the house was bought we decided we were going to stay and enjoy it. We were excited to have a holiday at the new house. That is until the day before....when I broke and it finally hit me that we weren't going to be seeing family over the holiday. OMG I cried all the way home from work....I had all these people in the office talking about how they were going to be seeing family and having a BIG holiday celebration. That is what we are use to...having 15-20 people with so much love and laughs. All I could think about was how boring ours was going to be. I came home to a big hug from Scott and a beer and stopped crying.

Thanksgiving came we make a great dinner...Turkey, gravy, twice baked sweet potatoes, cheesy potatoes, avocado and mango salsa, and brie. We watched the parade and football. At one point I looked at Scott and said I finally have a place on the couch without 7 others on top of me (I do like that though). In the evening we headed to a friends house for desert and to watch more football.

I can't say I didn't like the day - just the 2 of us. At the same time I can't say I liked the day - just the 2 of us. It was just different. I do know I had a great day and missed all the family time.
