I'm so stinkin' excited for Turkey Day. It is my 2nd most absolute favorite holiday (next to the Fourth of July.)
It's crazy that last year at this time we were in sunny Mexico livin' it up on a huge ship! But I'm excited to be HOME this year and be with fam. I'm planning on doing a KILLER workout Thursday morning so I can stuff my face. (without feeling TOO guilty ;)
Some weird thing I'm grateful for:
+money to pay the gas bill. (otherwise we'd literally freeze)
+broad shoulders (that sometimes make the seam in my shirt rip)
+water. to drink, to shower, to clean. I know i take it for granted.
+cowgirl boots
+homework (because even though I hate it, it means I'm getting an education)
+banana breakfast smoothies. I would be lost without them.
+bruises on my shins and collar bone. (because they are proof that I am pushing myself)
+my beautiful opal wedding ring that I have never ONCE regretted.
+marriage. because it is better than I ever could have imagined
+WHITE chocolate. hold the brown stuff please.
+being able to teach the YW in our ward.
+eyebrow wax. mine are forests.
+feeling free
+Nate's blue semi truck. when I see it through the window at shop I can't help but jump for joy.
+FAMILY. on both sides that can always put a smile on my face.
So here's a little trip down memory lane.

| Ann and me. Thanksgiving 2007. I remember being so excited she was HOME! |
 |
| Thanksgiving 2010. My first year of college and I had never been so grateful to spend turkey day with MY fam. and so.many.babies. |
 |
| Thanksgiving 2012. I had just barely gotten back from Ghana. Hence the tan skin and blondie hair. I couldn't get enough of that baby Lowell. |
 |
| Last year on Thanksgiving day. we swam and layed in the sun all day. perfection. |
