1. Family- I have the most wonderful support system I've ever seen! A lot of people think we're a little weird, though. We have a lot of different relationships. Oh, and the hubs. He's just amazing. Of course the pets count too. This list is too big to go into detail, but there's my mom, my two brothers, my husband, the cat and dog, my 4 uncles and 4 aunts, my 5 grandmothers, my 7 cousins... I don't believe any of them have ever NOT been there for me. Also, for the sake of keeping you sane and because technical titles never matter anyways, I simplified several titles. Oh, and this isn't even counting all the in-laws. There are tons, and they are just as special.
2. Friends- My phone was ringing off the hook with all the love. Although there were a few interesting tweets as well "I'm supposed to do WHAT to the turkey???"
3. My house- I had abundant room for house guests, and while not all ended up staying, we were very comfortable. We had ample space for cooking (kind of) with nice new appliances (pretty new at least). The house isn't always as warm as we'd like, but it'll do. And it's full of our lives- our things with our memories.
4. My car- you know, the one that had a water bottle get crushed under the back seat, and this morning had a HUGE WATER PUDDLE all across the back? Yeah. That car.
5. My job (and Mike's)- Even though we both had to work today (he's still there) I will say we are rather lucky to have our jobs. And I did get to leave early, after all.
6. My new school! I am so thankful that I got into grad school (and I got the loans needed as well!). I just hope I can be registered for classes ASAP. I've already emailed the advisor AND financial aid AND put myself on a few waitlists.
7. The food we ate- it was delicious. My mashed potatoes are by far one of my favorites. And mom's dumplings. yum! And turkey, of course. Too bad there weren't any leftovers (of the turkey). We devoured a 23 lbs turkey. Can you believe it?
8. My health- I managed well yesterday, and I still feel healthy. I didn't overeat, and I want to exercise. I see way too many people who just don't care, and it's sad.
9. My ambidexterity- I think it's a big help with my knitting. This means I can make some pretty awesome gifts for some pretty awesome people!
10. My time- I'm considering doing some volunteer work this winter, but I haven't decided where. Gotta do some research!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope yours was as amazing as mine!
